When looking at how Louisville and Kentucky match-up with each other, it's more important to look at which team will get more out of each position. With Louisville playing more of match-up zone than a man-to-man defense it's not necessarily about 1-on-1 matchups. The power forward position will be as evenly matched as any position on the floor tomorrow. Both teams will likely get a lot of production from the power forward spot. In my opinion, this is one of the positions where Louisville's depth can be overwhelming. Louisville: –Chane Behanan, 10.7 ppg, 7.6 rpg. –Montrezl Harrell, 6.7 ppg, 4.5 rpg. Kentucky: –Alex Poythress, 14.5 ppg, 6.5 rpg. –Kyle Wiltjer 11.4 ppg, 5.4 ppg. Advantage: Slight Edge To Louisville As much as it pains me to say it, Alex Poythress on his best day would probably be the best player on the court for both teams tomorrow. Chane Behanan had very high expectations heading into this season and right now is a better college player than Poythress, in my opinion....

Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
|Global Travel does note deliver on its sales presentation promises or answer mail or phone complaints. I am writing today, to express my EXTREME disappointment in the Global Discovery Vacations program. We were solicited via mail, to come to a presentation and we were to be awarded 2 Airline Tickets. We listened to your presentation, and had decided the program just was not for us. We were then, high pressure sold by a salesman, and we still decided not to sign up at this time. We were then pressure sold by a manager, but at a greatly reduced price, if we would cancel the airline tickets. We decided at that price, and with the claims made by Globals manager, the sales people, as well from the presentation, that we would give it a try. The presenters claimed a 95% placement in the properties requested. In a year, we have requested 4 properties, and have not been placed in any of them. We have not been able to even go to the destinations we requested. We were told that our first request was too late in the year (6 months before). We made a new request the very first day we were able to at the start of this year, and still were unable to obtain a desirable destination or property. The first year, we were hard pressed by your travel agent to try Cancun. We agreed. We found the property to be very average, and very expensive compared to other vacations we have taken in Mexico. We were also pressured into a presentation at the property, which wasted a whole day of our vacation. We invested $3000, and also gave up 2 airline tickets, and basically have received very little in return for our investment.. The agents are hard to reach, they don't call back promptly if at all, and so far we have not been placed in any of our requested locations. I also found the agents to be less than cordial, and not very friendly. I addressed a letter to the local Global Travel, as well to the corporate, expressing my concerns, and to date have not been contacted by anybody. We also have never heard from the agent on any travel. This whole program is nothing more than a scam, and I am embarrassed that I fell for it. We are out $3000.

Very Happy Customer
SUBMITTED: Tuesday, March 15, 2016POSTED: Tuesday, March 15, 2016
imhve been a Global Travel/Global Discovery Vacations customer for about 10 years. It is by far the best vacation club/time share value one the market. I have been to easily 20 different timeshare/vacation club sales presentations, and global is the best.
With our membership we have traveled to Paris, Brazil, Cleveland, Las Vegas, California, Florida, and Oregon. I have sent friends and family to Hawaii, and California. Next month I am going on a cruise and in June I have a week in Mexico on the beach booked. All with my membership.
Customer service is always beyond excellent.
My only problem is that I never have enough time off work to use all my vacation credits.
if you have ever considered a travel club or timeshare, this is the one to use.

Re: POSSIBLE UPDATE IDEAS
personally, I don't see why GT can't just be the best of both worlds. as it is now, it does a mediocre (do not read poor) job of being a racing sim and a great job of being a "game" for the masses.
there's so much here for every level of driver, until you want to take control. that's where PD says "nuh uh".
there can be a more in-depth online system that doesn't require that everyone who goes online knows how to use all the advanced features.
those who want a more causal "arcadey" experience can leave tire wear off, slipstream high, X1's all day.
those who want a more dedicated and organized racing experience, however, need to invent and reinvent to make the system work for them.
that layer of functionality should be there for those of us who want it, and not necessarily detract from the experience of the wide audience and vast majority of players.
the problem then might be that a small percentage of GT purchasers actually stick around long enough to want and need that functionality. I know I never thought I would be as into GT now as I am. Didn't think i'd care about organized racing. But here I am, trying to make a system work even though it's somewhat lacking.
I could never switch to another game. Just too much effort and I really do enjoy the quirky menu systems, so long as they don't make them as clunky and unecessarily laborous to click through.
I like the stylized look of GT and the sounds and music they used. It all speaks to me somehow. It feels like "home". It feels like an old school japanese game. Remember when music was written in MIDI? Well even though MIDI is not the delivery system of the music in GT, much of it does have that style.
I really just wish that Kaz could glean not just what most fans want, but what the dedicated fans want. I think he listens to the larger community of gamers to a degree, but without actually sitting down and reading a translation of posts like these. He needs someone to take him step by step through the menu system and describe what works and what doesn't. If he were able to please us, and include enough "goodies" to keep the kiddies happy, then they'd be in the right place to truly be the best at everything.
I was really surprised when I had played 4za for a few years while waiting for GT5 (didn't ahve a PS3 for prologue) that when I came back to GT I didn't see them smash the competition in every area possible. They had never done a livery editor, but then no one had at the time. I thought to myself, well forza attempted to do a photo mode and it came up very short, even to GT4's photo mode, so when GT5 comes out, they'll show forza that they can not only do a livery editor, but really hit it out of the park because they are perfectionists.
But it wasn't there at all? I know there are pros and cons for some things being added to the franchise, but I think what is turning people off is that some of the things which are lacking are just too surprising.

Re: POSSIBLE UPDATE IDEAS[ Edited ]
Why can't Fans of GT just let Kazunori build the game HE wants. It's been HIS dream for years, yet all these self-appointed internet design genius think tanks insist that THEY know better than the Father of Gran Turismo, what HIS vision should be.
He has beeen very financially successful with this franchise. He is designing the game to appeal to millions of users.
I find it unbearably arrogant that so many Forum users think that they know how to design AND THEN BUILD this game.
What actual credentials do any of us have? We may know what WE want in a game, but that certainly does not equate to what is best for his Fanbase of millions.
Enough already.................
Re: POSSIBLE UPDATE IDEAS
What credentials do we all have? We bought the game so we can voice our opinions on everything related to the game. I don't post much here but I'm an avid reader. It's clear that you are Kaz's bff and GT5's biggest fanboy but you cannot deny the game has flaws. If you do then you are blind. Yes Kaz designed the game in his vision and it was done masterfully but again, the game has flaws like clunky menus, limited control in lobbies for the hosts, and everything seems like it takes two or three clicks to get there. While it is unlikely that any ideas that are generated here will be seen by Kaz or PD, this is what a forum is for - exchanging of ideas, even if some ideas aren't of your opinion

Enough already.................
When he starts buying the game for me, he can...
Kaz made a good game, a really good game. But Kaz is one man. Collectively, we are more intelligent than we are individually. A great man can do great things. But the greatest of men know that it's the collection of ideas, the collaboration of minds and the cooperation and team work putting it all together that makes something truly brilliant.
The greatest among us are the ones who realize we don't know everything. Kaz doesn't either. And if anything, GT5 exposed that more so than at any time in GT's history. I realize among forum members, I am one of the most outspoken critics of all things GT. But I also know I'm one who will go out of his way to mention it when they get something right.
And I have to be honest here...
Knowing the potential GT has and watching it being squandered day after day is very hard for me to watch. Knowing there are obvious flaws that are intentionally left unfixed is hard for me to deal with. That applies to ANY game, ANY product, ANY person, ANY thing. Even myself. It has nothing to do with arrogance. It has nothing to do with thinking I'm better than anyone else. I see something wrong. I'm not the only one who sees it either. And then I see it again. And again. And again. All the while "how great thou art" plays softly to Kaz in the back ground.
Kaz could make some of these seemingly trivial things go away today. He could sit down and say "look, see this sentence, it should say NOT available. Let's fix that today..." Granted it would be in Japanese and the grammar would be a touch different... But he doesn't. And that bugs me.
To me it's like planning a trip to Mexico and putting a gallon of gas in the RV... It makes no sense to me to leave something like this and then turn around and ask someone to take you seriously.
Kaz did make the game he wants. He OK'd the release, the patches, the updates and the DLC.
He chose to leave that in there.
That's not "vision".
That's "man, I REALLY need to go to the eye doctor..."
I don't say any of this because I dislike GT5.
I like it quite a bit.
I obviously like enough about GT to keep playing it.
I obviously like GT enough to notice these kinds of errors.
I obviously LOVE GT if I'm willing to take the flak to point them out until they're fixed.
I just happen to feel that there are things that can be done better.
Some are small things, some aren't.
Basic tools to set up lounges and lobbies has been a bone of contention since prologue. Heck, that's why you all had to start your league and develop all you rules in the first place. You're going to tell me you wouldn't be thrilled with PD if they gave you some really nice lounge and lobby options...?
You did get suits and helmets, B Spec money laundering and silly putty damage models.
You did get trade restrictions, 12 more GTR's and another Academy Round.
We got the X2010, AND the X2011, AND a boatload of electric WTH mobiles.
We got coupons... Lots of coupons. And a 1/2 price expensive car sale...
And I admit we got some really good DLC with the first pack, and with Spa and Motegi.
Yet here we are YEARS down the road and you still don't have your basic lounge and lobby tools.
You can call it what you like, but that is not my definition of of "visionary".
Blurred Visionary maybe...
Out here in the real world, any job I ever held if I made errors in judgment like that I'd be fired.
I understand your frustrations SWERV, but I have to disagree with you.
I understand you're probably up to your eyeteeth in "why are they still posting about this"...
In my mind it's because it's that important to me to see it fixed. I see this as one of those pivotal times in the life cycle of GT's history. What happens now will have an impact on whether GT resurges to be the pinnacle of driving games... Or whether GT continues to ignore what we're talking about and squander opportunities and starts to fade into the sunset.
I don't want GT to lose that race.
I want GT to rise to it's potential and blow 4za and I racing and every other contender out of the water.
I want to see PD make the changes that allow we that play the game to take full advantage of it's capabilities.
I want to see PD enable the player to make their own decisions, not force the player into little sand boxes.
Please don't be hatin' because I among others want to really see PD do something special and shut us all up for good...
Re: POSSIBLE UPDATE IDEAS
I am far from hatin', my friend.
Every day I read your walls of text completely through. I agree with many things that you say. More often than not, I even Kudo your posts after reading the. I feel that I actually get what you are sharing with the group and the world at large.
You are very outspoken and opinionated. I am too. You have every right to bash Kaz and PD and say that you feel that they are squandering their opportunities.
Just Like I have every right to say that I am sick and tired of reading all the crying, whining, and moaning at this Forum, Day after day, after day, after day.
7.4 Million copies of GT5 have been sold. That is a phenomenal amount of sales, and who knows how many of those buyers liked or hated the game. $60 purchase price does not qualify anyone as some expert software designer/ builder. I have a personal saying that I use constantly on those around me.
" Bat In Your Own League"
I am not saying some valid ideas have not been presented, I have yet to see any valid credentials of any kind that leads me to believe that the PSN Brain Trust we have here, is in ANY way qualified to designed or build a top level Racing game.
Prove me wrong.............

The role of 'confounding by indication' in assessing the effect of quality of care on disease outcomes in general practice: results of a case-control study
In quality of care research, limited information is found on the relationship between quality of care and disease outcomes. This case-control study was conducted with the aim to assess the effect of guideline adherence for stroke prevention on the occurrence of stroke in general practice. We report on the problems related to a variant of confounding by indication, that may be common in quality of care studies.
Stroke patients (cases) and controls were recruited from the general practitioner's (GP) patient register, and an expert panel assessed the quality of care of cases and controls using guideline-based review criteria.
A total of 86 patients was assessed. Compared to patients without shortcomings in preventive care, patients who received sub-optimal care appeared to have a lower risk of experiencing a stroke (OR 0.60; 95% CI 0.24 to 1.53). This result was partly explained by the presence of risk factors (6.1 per cases, 4.4 per control), as reflected by the finding that the OR came much closer to 1.00 after adjustment for the number of risk factors (OR 0.82; 95% CI 0.29 to 2.30). Patients with more risk factors for stroke had a lower risk of sub-optimal care (OR for the number of risk factors present 0.76; 95% CI 0.61 to 0.94). This finding represents a variant of 'confounding by indication', which could not be fully adjusted for due to incomplete information on risk factors for stroke.
At present, inaccurate recording of patient and risk factor information by GPs seriously limits the potential use of a case-control method to assess the effect of guideline adherence on disease outcome in general practice. We conclude that studies on the effect of quality of care on disease outcomes, like other observational studies of intended treatment effect, should be designed and performed such that confounding by indication is minimized.
There is a long tradition of studying at population level the quality of medical care provided to patients who died from conditions amenable to medical intervention. This type of study (so called 'in-depth' or 'audit' study), aims to identify deficiencies in medical care that may have contributed to death. It was first systematically carried out on maternal death, and later on other causes of avoidable death
An important limitation of this type of study, without control subjects, is its inability to fully establish a causal relationship between identified deficiencies in care and the adverse outcome, and to determine to what extent identified deficiencies are associated to the occurrence of such an event. Identified deficiencies in care are expected to indicate only to a certain extent an increase in risk of an adverse health outcome, while the probability of having an adverse outcome can be calculated only if we compare the care provided to patients who suffered an adverse outcome with that of patients who did not suffer such an event. For this reason it has been proposed to perform a case-control study with patients with an adverse event as 'cases' and a comparable group of patients without an adverse outcome as 'controls'
We performed a case-control study with the aim to assess the effect of guideline adherence for stroke prevention on the occurrence of stroke in general practice. Unfortunately, we encountered various obstacles in the design and conduct of this study, in particular related to the recruitment of cases and controls, in availability of information on the care delivery process in the GP's data registration system, and in controlling for differences other than differences in the quality of care. The aim of this paper is to highlight the problems related to a variant of confounding by indication, that may be common in quality of care studies.
Observational studies of intended treatment effects are particularly prone to 'confounding by indication', and can produce misleading estimates on either, or both, the size and direction of treatment effects
From the Dutch national GP register, a random sample was taken of 58 GPs working in Rotterdam and the surrounding region. The study was restricted to patients with a first-ever stroke meeting the following criteria for inclusion: (a) diagnosis of intracerebral haemorrhage or infarction according to the World Health Organization (WHO) definition of stroke
Data collection
In a pilot study among 32 GPs, the quality of care measurement instruments (audit procedure and questionnaire) were tested. GPs participating in the pilot study did not participate in this study. Data on the process of care, two years prior to the occurrence of stroke (for controls from January 1995 to January 1997), were collected by means of structured face-to-face interviews with the GP, using separate questionnaires for each stroke patient. GPs were interviewed between March and October 1999. At the time of interview, GPs used either hand-written or electronic patient records to retrieve patient information. In case information was not available in the patient's record, information was drawn from the GP's memory. For each question, the type of data source was registered. The questionnaire comprised questions related to patient characteristics and family and medical history of CVD and risk factors, and the detection and treatment of cardiovascular risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, transient ischemic attack (TIA) and cardiac failure. Similarly, data were collected on lifestyle-related risk factors such as smoking status, overweight, and excessive alcohol intake.
Expert panel and assessment method
The quality of preventive care and its potential to prevent stroke was assessed and valued by a six-member panel of experts. The panellists (three neurologists and three GPs) were selected on the basis of their clinical expertise with respect to stroke prevention, experience in quality of care evaluation, academic or non-academic background and professional discipline. Six practice guidelines relevant to stroke prevention (hypertension, diabetes mellitus, TIA, peripheral vascular disease, cardiac failure and angina pectoris) were selected by the panel
In a two-round evaluation, with a final plenary round, cases were assessed by the panellists (panellists were divided in sub-panels). Each sub-panel assessed a specific number of cases. Based on identified elements of sub-optimal care and seriousness of shortcoming in terms of 'minor' and 'major', the panellists allocated grades on a scale of 0 to 3 (Table
Table 1
Grades of (sub)optimal care given by the expert panel (in both groups allpatients are hypertensive)
No sub-optimal factors have been identified
Sub-optimal factor(s) have been identified, but are unlikely to be related to the occurrence of stroke in this patient
Sub-optimal factor(s) have been identified, and possibly have failed to prevent the stroke in this patient
Sub-optimal factor(s) have been identified, and are likely to have failed to prevent the stroke in this patient
Sub-optimal care
Grading 1, 2, 3
Grading 0, 1, 2, 3
The two-round process was focussed on detecting consensus among the panellists (providing the same grade), and no attempt was made to force the panellists to consensus. The intersubpanel agreement was k = 0.63 (overall agreement on assigned grades between sub-panels was 74%). A detailed description of the assessment method is provided elsewhere
Analysis of the data was done by using simple cross-tabulations, and by using logistic regression analysis to model the chance of getting a stroke as a function of the presence of sub-optimal care (as ascertained by the panel), age and sex, and risk factors for stroke.
GP Participation and recruitment of cases / controls
The rate of participation was 62% (36 GPs). The main reason for GPs not to participate in the study was lack of time and interest (68%). Participating and non-participating GPs did not differ significantly in age, practice type, and date of qualification. Ninety-two percent of the GPs used electronic GP information systems. Among cases and controls there was a nonsignificant difference in mean age, however, cases were slightly older than controls (67 versus 65 years). Initially, before we excluded patients 'without' hypertension, GPs identified and selected 50 cases and 58 controls (1.4 case and 1.6 control per GP). Expected number of cases was 2.5 stroke patients per GP per year
Availability of data
Overall, data for verification of the initial diagnosis of stroke, assessment of GPs' guideline adherence, and judgement of the causality of the relationship between non-adherence and the occurrence of stroke could be collected from the patient records. However, information on risk factors such as family history of CVD, body weight (overweight), excessive alcohol intake, and smoking was less easily obtained. Depending on the type of risk factor, in 8–56% of all subjects, information on risk factors was unknown to the GP (8% in patients with overweight, 11% in patients smoking cigarettes, 17% in patients with excessive alcohol consumption, and 56% in patients with a family history of CVD). In 41–58% information was taken from the GP's memory, instead of the patient register.
Indications for confounding by indication
In 43% of the cases and 31% of the controls, no sub-optimal care could be identified (grade 0), whereas in 57% and 69%, respectively, sub-optimal care was identified (grade 1, 2 or 3). Thus the Odds Ratio for a case to receive sub-optimal care was 0.60 (95%CI 0.24 – 1.53) compared to a control (Table
Table 2
Guideline-derived elements of care used to indicate shortcomings in care among stroke patients and controls

- Follow-up (annually)
Arguments derived from practice guideline: Diabetes mellitus
- Follow-up (quarterly)
- Laboratory evaluation
- Referral to eye specialist

Arguments derived from more than one practice Guideline
- Advice to quit smoking
- Dietary advice (overweight)
- Evaluation of cardiovascular risk profile

TIA, Transient Ischemic Attack
Note: each patient could have more than one element of sub-optimal care
The mean number of risk factors among cases (6.1 per patient) was higher than among controls (4.4 per patient) (Figure
Figure 1
Risk factor distribution
Risk factor distribution. Prevalence (%) of risk factors for stroke among stroke patients (n = 28) and controls (n = 58). Total number of risk factors among stroke patients is 172, and among controls 277. Mean number of risk factors per case is 6.1, and for controls 4.4. This relationship is statistically borderline significant (p = 0.096), and could be an explanation for the somehow surprising result found earlier, that is, that cases receive sub-optimal care less often than controls.

Risk factors:
0.76 (0.61–0.94)
Note: to control for risk factors, the number of risk factors per patient were included in the regression model.
Patients with a higher number of risk factors for stroke, indeed have a lower risk of sub-optimal care (OR for the number of risk factors present 0.76; 95% CI 0.61–0.94). As expected, higher numbers of risk factors per patient also increases the risk of stroke (OR for the number of risk factors present 1.34; 95% CI 1.10–1.62).
This study demonstrated confounding by indication in a case-control study analysing the association between guideline adherence and the occurrence of stroke in general practice. It also provided insight into the possibilities for controlling for this confounding bias. We learned that, at present, difficulties in patient recruitment and data retrieval seriously limit the potential use of a case-control method to assess the relationship between guideline adherence for stroke prevention and stroke in general practice.
We found that in specific domains data were incomplete and not readily available in the patient records. As a consequence, in many cases GPs were unable to identify stroke patients from their patient register, which most likely introduced under-reporting of stroke patients. As compared to national frequencies (2.5 stroke patients per GP per year)
Strong indications for the existence of confounding by indication were found, albeit different from how it is usually described in literature. Confounding by indication, which is conceived as a substantial problem in observational studies of treatment efficacy, usually refers to a situation in which patients who are more in need both receive more care have a higher risk of adverse health outcome
A more detailed analysis showed, similar to results found in previous studies, that this result partly emanates from a higher prevalence of risk factors for stroke among patients suffering stroke at a later stage in life, which not only increases the risk of stroke but also GPs' compliance to guidelines. We hypothesize that, on average, patients with more risk factors for stroke receive more attention or visit their GP more frequently, which in turn facilitates guideline adherence (e.g. compliance to quarterly follow-up of treated hypertensive patients) and at the same time results in better quality of care. Controlling for (recorded) risk factors reduced the counter-intuitive result by approximately one half, and we hypothesise that incomplete registration of risk factors for stroke explains why the risk of stroke in stroke-prone or high-risk patients associated with sub-optimal care remained below 1.00, even after controlling for risk factors. We hope that our paper draws the attention of quality of care researchers to this variant of confounding by indication, that may lead to biased associations between process measures of quality of care and care outcomes.
This study shows that, at present, difficulties in patient recruitment and data retrieval seriously limit the potential use of a case-control method to assess the relationship between guideline adherence for stroke prevention and stroke in general practice. It demonstrates the role of confounding by indication, causing patients with an adverse health outcome to appear to receive better quality of care.

This activity investigates how you might make squares and pentominoes from Polydron.
If you had 36 cubes, what different cuboids could you make?
How can you put five cereal packets together to make different

This works almost exactly as the previous structure except now the 5th choice is decided by part 2.
Part 2 has 6 combinations {ab,ca; ca,ab; ab,bc, bc, ab; ca,cb; cb,ca}
Part 3 has 2 combinations, the two different orders for the remaining single flavours of ice cream.
Therefore the total number of permutations for this structure is 6 x 2 = 12
To get the total number of permutations across both structures we have:
36 (the number of permutations for the basic structure) + 12 (the number of permutations for the complex structure) = 48
Well done! Some very thorough examplanations here. We look forward to hearing more from you all.

Human activities, such as greenhouse gas emissions and land use, influenced specific extreme weather and climate events in 2014, including tropical cyclones in the central Pacific, heavy rainfall in Europe, drought in East Africa, and stifling heat waves in Australia, Asia, and South America, according to a new report released today. The report, "Explaining Extreme Events of 2014 from a Climate Perspective" published by the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society, addresses the natural and human causes of individual extreme events from around the world in 2014, including Antarctica. NOAA scientists served as three of the five lead editors on the report.
"For each of the past four years, this report has demonstrated that individual events, like temperature extremes, have often been shown to be linked to additional atmospheric greenhouse gases caused by human activities, while other extremes, such as those that are precipitation related, are less likely to be convincingly linked to human activities," said Thomas R. Karl, L.H.D., director of NOAA's National Centers for Environmental Information. "As the science of event attribution continues to advance, so too will our ability to detect and distinguish the effects of long-term climate change and natural variability on individual extreme events. Until this is fully realized, communities would be well-served to look beyond the range of past extreme events to guide future resiliency efforts."
In this year's report, 32 groups of scientists from around the world investigate 28 individual extreme events in 2014 and break out various factors that led to the extreme events, including the degree to which natural variability and human-induced climate change played a role. When human influence for an event cannot be conclusively identified with the scientific tools available today, this means that if there is a human contribution, it cannot be distinguished from natural climate variability.
The report this year added analysis on new types of events including wildfires and Antarctic sea ice extent, and in one case looked at how land use patterns may influence the impacts and severity from precipitation.
Key findings for each of the assessed events include:
North America:
Around the World:
South America
Middle East and Africa
"Understanding our influence on specific extreme weather events is ground-breaking science that will help us adapt to climate change," said Stephanie C. Herring, Ph.D., lead editor for the report at NOAA's National Centers for Environmental Information. "As the field of climate attribution science grows, resource managers, the insurance industry, and many others can use the information more effectively for improved decision making and to help communities better prepare for future extreme events."

Chapter 10
Isy's P.O.V:
I looked down at my feet. I was a bit miserable. Alex and Ashley? Someone kill me now.
Ashley and I were really good friends a while ago, until she stole every person that was important to me. Ugh, that slut. Excuse my language, but it's the word that suits her best.
I twiddled with my thumbs as I sat on Romy's couch next to Alex. A part of me wanted to ask what he thought of Ashley, and the other wanted to just keep quiet until the day was over.
Finally, after 5 minutes of debating this is my mind, I decided to speak up.
"Hey, Alex?"
"Yeah Isy?"
"So uh... You know that girl Ashley, right?"
"What is she to you?"
"She's a friend, I guess. I mean, she's really pretty and nice and great to be aro-"
"So you like her?" I asked, biting my lip (a habit I have).
"I guess you could say that..."
There was a huge lump in my throat and I blinked to fight back tears. I ran to the kitchen where Sam and Romy were and turned on the sink. Romy just stared at me while I splashed my face with water. I could feel my eyes filling with tears as I turned to face her.
"Sam, can you excuse us for a moment?" she asked.
He nodded in agreement and walked over towards Alex. She looked at me for a bit before asking, "he likes her, doesn't he?"
I bit my lip and nodded. Right as I did, tears flowed through my eyes. Romy walked over and hugged me as I sobbed. I'd liked Alex for a while, a LONG while. Now, Ashley just comes and she takes everything away as usual.
I told Romy that I wanted to just go home and she offered to walk me there. I declined and ran out the door. I walked all the way home through tons of tears. I just want the day to be over.

I watched Kendra disappear into her house. I knew she was aware of what I was. I could sense it. But that wasn't why she fled. I glanced over at Benjamin. What was it about him that frightened her? I looked at my pocket watch and sighed. I sought out Duke Moreau.
"Ah, Mr. Bailey," he said. "Are you enjoying yourself?"
"Yes, thank you," I said. "Unfortunately, I have to turn in for the evening. I wanted to come and thank you for the invitation."
"Of course." He looked around. "Now where have my children run off to?" he sighed.
"Lady Kendra went back inside," I said and he frowned. "I think she is trying to avoid someone."
The glass he was holding shattered and his wife glared at him.
"Was it Mathias Lance?" he asked through clench teeth.
"No," I said slowly. "It was my associate, Benjamin Smith. Why-?"
"I will go speak with her," Duchess Moreau said, looking upset for some reason.
I looked back at Duke Moreau, confused.
"Forgive us," he said. "I am glad you were able to come."
"Will you thank Sir Colin for me?"
"Yes, of course. Good evening, Mr. Bailey."
I walked away, scanning the crowd for Benjamin. He had moved from where I last saw him. I shut my eyes, seeing the square from above. I scoffed and shook my head, coming back to myself. I walked over to the fountain where he was speaking with a young woman, standing much too close.
"Come on, Ben," I said. "We have to go."
"All right," he said then kissed the young woman's cheek. "You know where I live should you desire... company."
She giggled and I rolled my eyes again, grabbing his arm and dragging him back to my store.
"You're a fool," I said.
"Says the man who was walking with Kendra Moreau," he scoffed. "Do you want to give us away?"
I narrowed my eyes at him. "What did you say to her?"
"What do you mean?"
"I mentioned your name and she ran off."
He shook his head as I unlocked the shop.
"She's probably still upset about that bloody dress. Jeez. What's the big deal?"
"No, I don't think that's what it was," I said, slowly.
"Did you at least make an impression?"
"But I don't think it was a good one," I nodded, leading the way up the stairs to our flat. "If anything, I just made her more suspicious."
"What is your obsession with this family?" he asked, pausing outside of his bedroom door.
"I have my reasons," I said quietly. "We open at nine tomorrow."
"Yes, Master," he said with a ridiculous bow and I rolled my eyes.
I stripped down and got into bed. I stared up at the ceiling, remembering the look on Kendra's face when she saw me. I rolled on my side, then thinking about the duke and duchess. I was trying to think of their connection with Duke Abbott but it was hard. I knew he had a daughter and she kind of resembled him....
I had to leave London when Duke Abbott killed my master nearly 25 years ago. Though I didn't like my master, I despised how Duke Abbott didn't even give my master the chance to defend himself. So, while everyone was focused on some vampire getting free of the London jails, I slipped poison into the duke's evening tea.
London went insane and I took the chance to go to America. On the way, I met Benjamin. He had been beaten and robbed and begged me for some help. He was terrified of dying and I could use a traveling companion so I told him what I was.
We came to New York 13 years ago and who knew the Moreau family would arrive just two years later? So, we officially opened Bailey's and I've been waiting for an opportunity to get close to the family since then.
Something about them told me that they had a connection. I just had to find it somehow.
I found it hard to sleep that night. Not only did I feel that jolt in my chest when I though of Benjamin Smith's name, I was worried I'd have another nightmare. I was still awake when the sun rose and dressed before Colin even got all the way up the stairs.
"Wow," he said. "I'm impressed."
I just smiled and sat down at my seat at the table. The blood in front of me smelled of mama and I smiled thankfully at her. She winked and looked back at her book. As I drank, I felt strength return to me. I was still disturbed, though, and went back to my room after breakfast.
I scratched Cami behind the ear and frowned when I bumped into the collar she had gotten used to. That was another worry: Solomon Bailey.
I felt like we had met before but I knew that was impossible. I assumed it had something to do with our connection to London and being vampires. I couldn't quite pick up on his scent, either, and that was a red flag to me. I sat at my desk and began a letter to Ilya.
Dear Uncle Ilya,
I'm writing this to you mostly because I don't want to worry Papa. You know how he is. There is another vampire living here in New York. I met him the other day then went on a stroll at Colin's party. He seems like a kind enough fellow but I can't pick up on his scent. Is this because of me being so different than everyone else? Or could it be something else?
I hope to hear from you soon.
I finished and waited for the ink to dry. I folded it and put it in an envelope, planning to send it tomorrow. I sensed Papa coming so I stood up.
"Come with me," he said, looking nervous.
"Where are we going?" I asked.
"To the parlor," he answered. "Your mother wishes to speak with you."
"Have I done something wrong?" I asked as we walked in.
The air was anxious and Papa immediately took Colin upstairs, his face grim. I looked at Mama. She was holding a small goblet of blood that smelled somewhat familiar.
"What is this?"
"Drink and you will understand," she said gently.
"What do you mean? You're scaring me a little."
"It will be okay," she said. "I promise. Just drink."
I hesitated but did as she said. The second the blood touched my tongue, I dropped the goblet and fell to my knees. I felt like my head was going to split in two and I screamed, gripping my hair.
"Mama, no!" I sobbed. "No, not this!"
"You have to, my sweet," she said and I knew she was crying. "Please do not fight it. You have to give in. Everything will be okay. I am here."
"Don't make me do this!" I cried. "Please!"
"Just let it come, Kendra," she whispered. "You will understand. Just let it come."
I sobbed again as pain forced my eyes shut.

This is so intimidating,
This blank screen, with the little blinking cursor.
You've seen it before. Right before you write a big essay, or type an important letter.
The cursor blinks, taunting you, telling that you aren't good enough to do this. To write that paper, letter, story, anything.
The only way to get rid of it is to type.
Usually how we escape that is by writing our name, then the date. Or to address the person we are talking to. To get our bearings, to reaffirm the situation, to prove you know what you are doing. To reinstate that you know who you are, when you are, and what you are trying to do.
But its all just a facade, that little blinking cursor knows, knows that you are still scared. No matter how fast you type, no matter how fast the words come out of your finger tips, you will still eventually have to hit the backspace button, and that is when it gets you. The little line starts flashing again. And all of a sudden you are unsure of what you were going to do. Was I really going to write the word forever? Why would I do that? That isn't right. I must be mistaken.
So here I sit, about to tell you...what was I going to tell you? I don't remember. I was distracted by the little line. I might have decided to tell you a fairy tale of how an angel fell from heaven and consequently fell in love with a boy with spiky hair and a harsh attitude, or maybe some drivel about how some girl found herself while traveling with a mad man. Or maybe a tear-jerker about a man has no friends. It doesn't matter now, you aren't listening.
Or maybe you are...
And the little cursor blinks on.

Nada's PrayerMature
Inspired by an evening of comfortable melancholy and Hemingway's "A Clean, Well-Lighted Place".
I was so caught up in my self-indulgent nihilism that I didn't care my computer had been stolen. Instead, I vacantly wandered back and fourth between two places it could have been until I found it beneath the piles of clothes that make my carpet obsolete.
I realized that I could never hate Hemmingway, because I would always seek a clean, well-lighted place, and my no-longer drunkenness and six-inch whore-red platform heels just added to the atmosphere of melancholy. The plotlessness droned to the point that I resigned to open a blank document in full screen mode and began to fill the white nothingness on black nothingness with something that I am not quite sure meant nothing. When Hemingway said write drunk, edit sober, this ain't what he meant.
Then again, I feel like I have permanently lost sobriety. When I entered this kingdom fucking come filled with promise this August, I was awkward and fear-struck and stuck in my body and in the ever-swirling tornado in my mind. When I got as drunk as I have ever been in October, I wondered during the hangover if my brain would ever be the same. I spent that afternoon wandering the dying, browning, and reddening campus picking flowers.
It came back fully the next few days, but I didn't notice its presence until I decided to once again break its bars and become a single-night fugitive from its grips. There was a night in a Pibly with PBR and rum and weird YouTube and contemporary Irish poetry, and apparently this guy is a sadist. If someone had told me that then I might have expressly stated my masochistic tendencies and invited him to hurt me badly in the hopes of beating the last inhibitions from my brain, even though traumas don't respond to threats. More likely, I would have sat there and imagined him beating the last inhibitions from my brain, and battered my drunk self for being wimpy. I'm fairly certain there were two shots, two beers, two hits of a joint, and a Rockstar but I know for sure the next morning hurt like hell.
After that it was the pop dance and I probably didn't have more than six shots of what I think was vermouth in what I think had been a gin bottle from what I know was a metal water bottle with black and white flowers on it in shots every ten minutes chased by water followed by maybe three more after dancing. I wore my six-inch whore-red platform heels for three hours straight and I jumped, danced, and walked in them and by the time I went to bed I couldn't unbend my toes. As a kid, I was always mad that Barbie's feet weren't shaped for real shoes, and yet mine were stuck in that position.
I guess along the way, I might have killed enough brain cells that I've learned to forget on cue. Many a suicidal night mixed with a subconscious sense of self-preservation may be another reason for this. But this last Saturday and this one, I showed up at the dance sober and I still jumped and moved my hips and spun and forgot just a little bit.
After tonight's dance I went up to smoke a cigarette and then I smoked two and then an upperclassman passed out because she'd had way too much vodka and I advised her friends to take her inside and they acted like it was a novel idea and they did. And I soberly stumbled in six-inch whore-red platform heels back to the student union from the bitter march snow en route to the dorm. There were sort of friends, or at least I think and wonder and hope they're friends, and the really cool chick I want most to like me was talking about how she was drunk and I said I was sober and she gave me a 5 ounce flask to finish. It had maybe 3 ounces of vodka (?) left tops, and I went to the bathroom and stood in the stall and drank it in four swigs. I sat down next to her on the floor of the snack bar couch area and listened. There were nine but soon we were eight then seven, then six. We told stories, and I sometimes didn't wonder whether I was intruding.
The moon was three. Not because I was drunk because I really didn't have all that much, but because the slats in the wooden blinds were such that it split the light. The brightest looked like the light that comes when you're leaving a movie theater. The second was a moon full of legible detail like a negative on a light box. And the third was a quiet, underexposed pencil sketch. I got some water and I noticed that I loved the feeling of walking in those six-inch whore-red platform heels while tipsy. I took off my corset, and I'm fairly sure that the boy across from me could see my nipples. I sat on the green armchair and put my six-inch whore-red platform heels up and crossed my legs. I felt a little bit like Ke$ha.
We talked about sex. The girl with whom I am platonically infatuated talked about weird almost sex followed by the "perfect first time" that's almost always bullshit, but I believe her. I talked about a boy over two years my superior tying me up over the teacher's desk in a middle school classroom and my earring scraping up the desk and leaving scratch marks while he looked at cartoons of prettier, bustier women being fucked by fucking tentacles. Because I'm not good enough (though I never said that part).
The fiery bodhisattva sat in the half lotus position on the strange half-ottoman half-table in the middle and imparted her wisdom in the form of funny and sad anecdotes animated by ridiculous gestures and voices. Occasionally the automatic lights would go out, but then someone would get up and they would turn back on and we would sit.
Eventually it was four, and I was suddenly acutely aware that I was the only freshman in this group. The idea that I was unwanted generally wafted in and out of my unconsciousness, but as they all wandered back to their various rooms in Hill House, leaning on each other, I alone was Kendrick bound. The bodhisattva forgot her flowerpot, and I caught her before she left.
I knew at that point I would return to my room and write about the heels and the three moons, but my story had no plot. A consistent problem with my stories, I write what I know, and it seems that my life has no plot. I stopped in the basement, considering vending machine retail therapy, but I found I only had $20s.
When I stepped outside in my six-inch whore-red platform heels the moon wasn't full, and I couldn't tell if it was waxing or waning. It was, however, missing just God's thumbnail, and I started thinking about nothingness.
I found my own clean, well-lighted place tonight. I preferred the civilized amount of drunk that I became and have since sobered up from to the insanity of dancing with a tight corset in which I couldn't breathe but had to be tighter so I'd be skinny. When the motion-sensitive lights would turn out the darkness was okay too. Well-lighted-ness is blind.
Tonight was a nice break from trying to be the kinkiest, to drink the most, to be the most royally fucked human being I can possibly become in hopes that I become something. I'm not the kinkiest, and I can't handle all that much liquor, and sometimes I just want to spend four and a half slightly tipsy hours on the floor of the student union with people who seem not to hate me and not feel like an outsider, which I succeeded in for maybe half that time.
I guess the best I can convince myself in my present Nada's Prayer is that I am not the only one who is nothing. I am not alone in being empty, in feeling as though I am a made in china deformed Barbie doll for a God who prefers to play with G. I. Joe. I suppose I seek comfort in the idea that if I am nothing, perhaps others are nothing too.
And now that I've reached Emily Dickinson, it's obviously time for bed. Since writing more will do nothing to impede the im pending panic attack that is "tomorrow", I suppose sleep is the best coping method. Thanks for reading this. I hope I don't sound dumb and make you think I'm dumb and then hate me. Knowing that's an overreaction, I'm trying to remember that everyone is equal in the eyes of Nada.

Well, it's Inauguration Week again, that time of year that brings mouthbreathing sycophants by the score to the area to freeze their asses off in dresses so heinous that I wouldn't staunch a wound with them, DC rekindles its on-again, off-again passion for jersey barriers, and Adam Eidinger meets that special someone who turns out to be a Secret Service agent assigned to watch what he's up to at all times. But whether you're in town for the unique pageantry, are a die-hard supporter of the President or are just a visiting reporter hoping to cadge a few table scraps from the NeoCon Koolaid Ball, The DCeiver wishes you the same sentiment we offer to all visitors from hither and yon: stand on the right side of the escalator, take whatever it is you came for, and then get the fuck out.
This weekend, The DCeiver stalked around town, celebrated birthdays, prepared for what is sure to be a life-altering performance in a Studio Theatre directing scene entitled The Girl Who Had a Spider in her Vagina, and generally got out of the house as Wife of DCeiver and best friend Amy spent the entire weekend celebrating their nostalgic past by watching the ENTIRE EFFING NORTH AND SOUTH MINISERIES, including the awful, AWFUL, UNFUCKINGGODLY Book 3.
One of the highlights of the weekend was meeting my first tsunami survivor, who was in Thailand when it all went down and ended up clinging to some sort of piling for dear life. I met her at my friend Susan's birthday celebration at a bowling alley in Alexandria (oddly enough, she will be going to Indonesia herself in a year or so). The story she told was unbelievable, weirdly fascinating, and harrowing as hell. All we can say is: wow. Jeez. Hope everyone out there in readerland finds that sort of survival instinct if you ever need it. Now, as time passes, many of you out there are likely to have the same experience of meeting someone who was there when the tragedy of our lives occurred and somehow got out. One thing you'll wonder is: "Wow. What do I say to someone who has survived the tsunami?" Here are some things you don't say:
"Dude. That is a tsunamilicious tale of disaster!"
"Congratulations, you lucky dog!"
"Here's your merit badge in tsunami survival, camper!"
"Did you bring me anything from Thailand?"
We recommend a simple: "I'm glad that you are okay." Or maybe, "Can I wear you around my neck to this job interview I have next week?" But only if you are really underqualified for that job.
Later on that night, we were at another birthday celebration at Bedrock Billiards on Columbia. We hope YOU were all at the Juniper Lane show. Though many of you clearly weren't, judging by how crowded Adams Morgan was despite the frigid temperatures. We were nicely nestled underground at Bedrock celebrating the DCepticon's birthday, who joked at one point that if a bomb went off, an entire middle strata in the DC theatre community would be killed instantly, leaving DC's theatre scene teetering at least until Towson graduated another class in May.
Actually, we were very lucky to get in, because apparently the joint was so busting to capacity that late in the evening they were only letting the birthday boys well-wishers enter long enough to say Happy Birthday. At least one other celebrant, who drove all the way from Baltimore, was turned away at the door for not bringing his ID. Now, look. The DCeiver's been known to occasionally--rarely--leave his home without his ID...but to leave your HOMETOWN without your ID? WTFIT? Who does that?
Around the corner from us, at The Diner, the staffs of that restaurant and their buddies at Tryst were dealing with idiots of another stripe. Apparently, two patrons waiting in line at The Diner got into a domestic dispute that touched off some sort of street-clearing conflagration that brought the bouncers, cops and staffs of Tryst out on the sidewalk in an orgy of jumbo slice fueled mayhem. We imagine it went down like this:
SHE: Mmmm. I love The Diner's Macaroni and Cheese.
HE: What? Why are you always giving props to their Mac and Cheese?
SHE: I just think that The Diner's unique blend of cheeses and hearty macaroni pasta is a taste treat that's out of this world!
HE: You never say shit about the Mac and Cheese I make for you at home.
SHE: Shee-yit. You can keep that sorry-ass Kraft Dinner outta my face.
HE: Awwwww, snaaap! It's on, bitch! *Pow* *Kiff*
SHE: OOOOOHHH!! My face!! My beautiful face!! OWWWWW! BASTARD!! Try the buffalo chicken wings for a tasty appetizer! OUUUUUCH! AAAAAAAGHH!
Anyway, it was apparently quite the tilt. We're sorry we missed it, but, crap, it was cold outside.
Confidential to the girl in front of Woodley Park Metro: Um, what you did was unBELIEVABLY gross. Just stomach turning. We only barely vouch for the jumbo slice at ALL, let alone one that you find laying there on Connecticut Avenue. Fucking grotesque. I hope you enjoy the thrush.

We have configured AVS to use an Active Directory as a Secure Target and, until now everything has gone pretty well. Our problem is that we don't know what events can the AV get from the Security event log file. In fact we need the most to get the login/logout events from Active Directory event log file. So, what can we get?
Thank you in advance.

Kokomo teen logs 352 volunteer hours in hospital
KOKOMO, Ind.
A Kokomo teenager is building career aspirations as he spends hundreds of hours as a volunteer in a hospital emergency room.
The Kokomo Tribune reports Stephen Coble has logged more than 350 volunteer hours in the Community Howard Regional Health emergency room over the last two years. Nurse Sue Giddens says he's there nearly every Saturday during the school year.
Coble visits with patients, takes them to procedures and stocks and cleans their rooms.
He says his favorite part of the work is interacting with patients and their families.
Coble hopes to pursue a degree in nursing once he finishes high school.
