|Experimental: 1
Device: Endologix, Inc. Endoluminal Technology
Stent-graft endoprosthesis is inserted by Delivery System via a surgical cutdown (e.g., external iliac artery, femoral artery, common iliac artery conduit, etc.) approach. The insertion method depends on each patient's anatomy and is determined by the Clinical Investigator.
Detailed Description:
The primary objective of this study is to examine the feasibility of expanded applications of the basic Endologix technology for the treatment of arterial aneurysmal disease. A second objective of this study is to gather data in order to make logical, scientific recommendations for device design, construction and application which will expand the application of the endoluminal graft technology and improve its safety and efficacy while expanding the several potential future positive aspects of a less invasive method of treating arterial occlusive disease.
Endologix, Inc. has applied for and received an IDE for the investigation of a bifurcated device to exclude aneurysms of the abdominal aorta. The Arizona Heart Institute experience indicates that this small study design will prove successful. Using the basic technology of the current approved IDE, it is Arizona Heart Institute's intention to expand the scope of application and design in order to address a greater population basis suffering from aneurysmal disease. In this regard, the basic Endologix device designs will be applied to appropriate patients beyond the scope of the current bifurcated IDE. Patients meeting the criteria for the Endologix IDE will be enrolled independently in that study and followed precisely in order to comply with the study design. Patients with aneurysmal disease not currently filling the criteria for a bifurcated abdominal aortic prosthetic but who could potentially benefit from the technology to exclude aneurysmal disease will be considered from this study.
The patient's participation in the Study will include enrollment, Investigational Device procedure and follow-up period. Patient data will be collected for 1, 6, and 12 months and beyond as indicated. Subject follow-up at 1 month will include; ABIs, a complete Physical Examination, Duplex Ultrasound, and X-ray. Subject follow-up at 6 and 12 months will also include ABIs, a complete Physical Examination, CT Scan-Contrast Enhanced (unless contraindicated), CT Scan-No Contrast, and X-ray.

Jan. 1 looms.
Many of us are stuffed full from Christmas treats and are already planning how to shed some extra weight.
We're also promising ourselves we'll finally clean out the basement, get more organized, get out of debt and paint that hall — the one with six doorway frames that will all need special attention.
In other words, we have started on our New Year's resolutions.
Just talking about New Year's resolutions makes some of us weary.
By LEE HAMILTON
We are locked in a seemingly permanent debate over the proper size and scope of government. It was a centerpiece of the recent presidential campaign.
It features heavily in the ongoing maneuvering over the "fiscal cliff" and the upcoming vote on raising the debt ceiling.
And it surfaces regularly in the speeches and comments of politicians and opinion leaders who either take the government to task for growing too large or argue that it needs to play an even more active role than it does now.

Tippy - #766346 - 3 Years Old - German Shepherd/Collie Mix - Female
Perfect manners, a friendly disposition and the heart of a champ! Tippy knows that she's somebody's "dream dog." She just has to find them! This beautiful darling was found in October as an emaciated stray. Although she lacked quality care, Tippy obviously belonged to someone, because she was sporting a brand new manicure complete with a fresh coat of nail polish! Tired Tippy was rushed to the veterinarians at the Humane Society of Southern Arizona, where it was determined that her declining health was the result of Valley Fever. After a few weeks of fluconazole and a lot of love in foster care, Tippy is now looking and feeling fabulous! Her foster family absolutely adores her and appreciates what a courteous guest she's been. Tippy is house trained, crate trained, excellent with dog of various sizes and so eager to please. She has the perfect amount of energy and always respects others' belongings. Tippy is going to make some lucky person tremendously happy. Could it be you? All Tippy asks in return for her years of devotion is that you help her manage her Valley Fever.
If you could be Tippy's long-awaited hero, please call the Humane Society at (520)327-6088 and ask to arrange a meet and greet with this very special Hidden Gem. You'll be glad you did!
Pet of the Week is brought to you by The Humane Society of Southern Arizona.Contact the Humane Society at 520-327-6088 or visit HSSAZ.org.

Box Score (PDF) | Championship Central
Friday's GameTracker | Live Video | Live Chat
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. -Junior Issa Brown hit a two-run, pinch-hit home run in the sixth inning to lift No. 2 seed UAB to a 2-0 victory against seventh-seeded Memphis in the first round of the 2012 Conference USA Softball Championship Thursday night at the UAB Softball Field.
The win advances UAB (37-19) to Friday's semifinal round against No. 3 seed Marshall, with the game scheduled to start at 4:30 p.m. The Thundering Herd moved into the semifinals after eliminating No. 6 seed East Carolina, 8-1.
"Issa has good bat control and she makes really solid contact," UAB head coach Marla Townsend said. "We know she's going to get a ball into the outfield. I know that with her bat control to get us something deep."
UAB starter Lannah Campbell (15-6) tossed her ninth complete game and sixth shutout of the season to hold the Tigers (20-37) scoreless with just three hits.
"Lannah did a great job. She created 12 assists and fielded six ground balls herself," Townsend said. "She did a great job making them put the ball in play and chase balls that aren't necessarily strikes. She mixes it up so well."
The other Friday semifinal contest will match top-seeded Tulsa taking on No. 5 seed Houston at 2 p.m. The Golden Hurricane defeated Southern Miss, 8-0, in Thursday's first game while the Cougars advanced by beating No. 4 seed UCF, 6-2.
Memphis pitcher Ellen Roberts retired 11 Blazer batters in a row, before Kristen McGrath ripped a double to right field in the bottom of the fifth inning. In the next at bat, Lauren Webster advanced pinch runner Tiffany Smith to third on a sacrifice bunt.
With the runner in scoring position, pinch hitter Issa Brown drilled an 0-1 pitch over the left field wall to give UAB a 2-0 lead. It was Brown's second pinch hit home run of the season.
"I was focused on have a quality at bat," Brown said. "That's what coach instills in us at practice. I was called on at the last moment. I came in from the bullpen to see Kristen get her hit and then they told me I was hitting."
Laura Curtis broke up Campbell's 12 consecutive outs with a double to left in the top of the sixth inning, but the Blazers retired the next batter to end the inning.
"It's huge to be at home to get the win," Townsend said. "We're looking forward to tomorrow."

A nice glass of Merlot has played a part in many fine conversations in my lifetime. On this particular evening,
in hope that Jesus would turn our untouched carafe of water into more wine, we began discussing religion.
It wasn't long before my wonderful friend Joni, with Irish eyes and wit to match, found a hole in my desire for free booze.
"Hunny, according to their books you're going to hell," she joked.
"Well according to my books I'm going to Hogwarts," I chimed back, with a cheeky grin only a leprechaun could match.
And there, in one statement, I'd thrown off any concern that my choices were going to send me on a fiery holiday to Hades.
I've had sex before marriage and I've enjoyed it, I've cleansed my crystals under the moonlight while lighting a few white candles, and oh ... I'm bi-sexual.
Not "I kissed a girl and I liked it" bi-sexual, but fell in love, had my heart changed, screamed God's name in the bedroom bi-sexual.
Before you label me a witch, a sinner and try to save me, I'm no stranger to church, in fact at one stage I attended, religiously. I've also debated this question with myself for just as long: Can religion have a place in the world of a Modern Maiden?
Sadly at the moment, no, there's not much of a place. Despite the good morals that are taught, Faith, of most types, has a strong emphasis on traditions that are seen by many modern people to be old-fashioned, limiting and judgmental. And it seems the avant-garde beliefs of our generation are being frowned upon, stomped on and are fiercely ridiculed.
Now, I am not saying The Church should use the communion wine for a strippers party, or hand out condoms during confession, but I am saying if they want to connect with the future, now is the perfect time to stop preaching and to listen.
Listen, before the older stalwarts pass away and you turn to see a significantly smaller congregation, having alienated and ostracized an entire generation.
Listen, and try to understand why there are so many younger people out there, who don't cheat, steal, lie or kill, who believe it's OK to have sex before marriage, that having social drinks is not the end of the world, and that loving someone of the same sex doesn't make you a sinner.
There is a lack of respectful communication from both sides, and it is unattractive. You look one way and there are loud religious voices in the media, you turn the other way and young people are slagging off The Church via their daily congregation on Facebook. Which, to be clear, is just as bad as what they believe The Church is saying about them.
There is meanness afoot. I see it on Twitter, I read it in the nasty comments on news websites, I even hear it when I'm out for dinner. It's extremists on both sides. It's disgusting, it's not constructive and it needs to stop.
It's sad, because both sides only desire the same thing. To be accepted for who they are and what they stand for.
At the moment that's impossible, simply because they won't talk to each other. Instead, the country has turned into a giant high school where everyone is vying for the most attention, and the rift continues to grow.
I don't mind who or what you believe in, nor do I mind if you use a vibrator every day, but I do mind that there is so much hatred between two different parts of our community.
Those with new-age beliefs are not going to bring about the apocalypse and religion actually has some important morals to share. It's such a shame that neither side is willing to co-exist, or even talk with the other.
Alas, if only someone could actually turn water in to wine. That may start a conversation between The Church and my generation.
Then perhaps my tarot cards and crystal balls would stop showing me images of the Church dying ... for our sins.

Amazing Writing once again!! you have strong points and I completely agree with you! FINALLY SOMEONE is speaking up for the younger generation who are constantly slammed and discriminated against. The churches need to get with it and realise that the world we live in today is alot different from when the bible was written. things change, change is good. Its innevitable. look at how transport, roads, buildings, fashion have all changed and been updated. and everyone seems to accept it and go with it. surely they can accept so much more, like that same sex marraige is okay. not giving same sex couples the right to get married, is like telling them that their love isnt good enough. that it isnt real. It disgusts me.
Bravo!!!!! Well said my dear. In this new century I think many have forgotten that to go forth we must connect with all. Not just stay in some secluded group and hope you get your type of *normal*. Worse is the sheer hatred of some towards others,.....because one believes in something and another does not. Therefore condemn and hurt each other. Really??? We have not grown as much as we deluded ourselves.
WOW, Totally awesome. You continue to amaze.
Wow. Didn't think they made girls like that anymore!
Who says the church hates you? In fact I feel sorry for you! So would you like a rewrite of the Bible to suit your ways? Never mind, when there are enough "what's in it for me" people and the "war against terror" is ceased to aplease them and/or Islam over powers Christianity and we are under Islam law then you will have to go to prayers 5 times a day, not mix with members of the opposite sex and certainly not have relations with the SAME sex, and NO wine whatsoever, then perhaps, just perhaps you will remeber what grandmother told you . . .
and when will the idiots realise that you cannot change religion to suit yourself; it's a moral base for life. Why do you "modern" idiots FORCE your immoral and disgusting behaviour on us when we're upholding the standard. it is amusing for you to abuse people who are in good moral standing because they won't accept & support? Like forcing meat on a vegan. People today are incredibly selfish and want their way no matter who they walk over. But this is Satan's world after all so your behaviour is definitely consistent with HIS agenda. Go for it, you'll meet your creator in good time. Try talking yourself out of the mess.
"All the world's major religions, with their emphasis on love, compassion, patience, tolerance, and forgiveness can and do promote inner values. But the reality of the world today is that grounding ethics in religion is no longer adequate. This is why I am increasingly convinced that the time has come to find a way of thinking about spirituality and ethics beyond religion altogether." -- Dalai Lama
I think the whole problem is people from both sides trying to force their beliefs on one another. Well actually I don't think the modern generation force their "immoral behavior" on anybody.. all they want is some acceptance and freedom to live life how they choose to live it. We are all individuals all bought up with differently. We all have different sets of morals and beliefs based on what we are exposed to and experience throughout our upbringing.
Acceptance does not require anyone to change their morals and beliefs. All it requires is a bit of understanding that people are different, unique, individuals. No body needs to be judged or lectured. What I get from this article is that there is a need for discussion and clear communication. Not arguments over what is right and wrong.
I have developed my set of beliefs by opening my ears not my mouth. I don't expect anyone to have all the same beliefs that I have but I expect that I am accepted for who I am and what I believe in, not ridiculed and forced to change. It's what makes me me! you can't change me and I'm not going to be a sheep just because you disapprove.
This is exactly where these words came from. The wit and tongue in cheek of this article, was to make light of the disgusting religious hatred of a fellow minister , a few weeks ago. I could not believe such hatred of another human and their lives , could produce such damnation from the righteous. Have to laugh at that word, I think it means total hypocrite, and nasty human. Ones who have to open their mouths, or find the time and finger energy, to hurt, abuse or ruin another humans day.
Dee, after reading you comment below, it reminds me that most of the wars and nasty stuff that has happened in this world (and still are, look at all those religious manics in the middle east) have been caused by religion and people like you who,are not prepared to accept that there are people in this world who have different viewpoints and lifestyles to your own. It's time to accept that it is modern world we all now live in and the views of young people have as much right to be heard as do your own views. One must move with the times. I'm 60 and fully embrace the changes. If you can't beat 'em, accept 'em but there is noting to be gained by abusing someone who has the courage to speak her thoughts and doesn't hide behind a non de plumne.

The Garden Shed and GROW: Rare and Unusual Succulents in Cambria CAPin It
Last year (!!!), we took a trip to the California Pacific Coast, up Highway 1 and visited several little towns between LA and San Francisco. As I prepare for the monster snow storm coming in tonight, I am browsing my seed catalogs, getting ready to start my winter sowing and thinking back fondly to our trip to California. This is the continuation of the journey up Highway 1...
Another stop along the Pacific Coast Highway was this amazing Rare and Unusual Succulents store in Cambria. Aptly named "GROW", this place is absolutely one of a kind. Enjoy the garden eye candy!
|A tractor with driftwood "steam" and an assortment of succulents.
There were cool little "brain" succulents -- so tiny! so cute!
Inside was just as cool as the outside with creative little vignettes everywhere you looked. The photos above are 2 of a multitude of them. If you are anywhere near Cambria, CA and have half an inkling of interest in plants, this nursery and store is a MUST SEE.
Want to visit GROW? Check out their website right HERE!

No doubt, Apple owns the tablet space with its iPad. But Android is coming, its small third-quarter decline notwithstanding. Research firm Strategy Analytics on Tuesday released data showing Apple with 95 percent of tablet sales in the quarter ended September 30. Meanwhile, Android's share of the market slipped to 2.3 percent from 2.9 percent.
Apple got a big jump on the tablet market when it launched the iPad in April. However, after a delay, competitors are beginning to roll out their own tablets. Samsung unveiled its Android-powered Galaxy Tab in early September, while HTC Corp., Dell and Motorola also have Android tablets in the works. U.S. wireless companies will begin selling the Galaxy Tab next week. In addition, Hewlett-Packard, Research in Motion and Microsoft are coming out with tablets, as are Acer and Nokia. "We expect Android's share to rise in the fourth quarter as more models, such as the Samsung Galaxy Tab, enter the market," SA analyst Neil Mawston said in a statement. Overall, global tablet sales in the third quarter were 4.4 million, a 26 percent increase over the 3.5 million units shipped in the second quarter. Gartner has predicted a tripling of tablet sales in 2011 to 54.8 million units. So the rising tide will help most tablet manufacturers over the next year or so. But how will market share shake out in 2011? Clearly Apple won't retain 95 percent of the tablet market, but what can we expect a year from now? Will Apple be down to 70 percent, 60 percent, or lower? Feel free to make your predictions.

Jillian Michaels (born 18 February, 1974) is a fitness expert who gained prominence as a trainer on the NBC weight-loss reality series ''The Biggest Loser'' (USA). Michaels was the trainer for the red team until 2006, when she was replaced by Kim Lyons. She returned in 2007 as the black team coach, competing against Kim's red team and Bob Harper's blue team. Kim decided not to return for the spring 2008 season, leaving Jillian as the only female trainer. Along with Bob Harper, Jillian is also a trainer in the Australian version of the show. She began her career in exercise because she was considerably overweight before her teenage years (though not as much as the contestants she whips into shape now). As a young adult, her mother enrolled her in a martial arts class, which was a new beginning for Jillian. Thereafter she dedicated herself to helping the overweight transform their lives and their bodies for the better.

how do people like myself that can't afford the diet plans get help? my weight is killing me and I do'nt know what to do.
Can you tell me what the heck happened last night with Neil? Why did he sabotage his team...
i love this show i'm 5'9 and 200 I have been working out now for a month and seeing some results thanks for the motivation love the show and you guys there
I love to watch the Biggest Loser and the show has inspire me to lose weight . On Jan,1, 2008 i am starting my own Biggest Loser challenge. About ten years ago i almost weight 500 lbs and today i am at 242 and want to get down to 189 so thanks again for the show.
I am 52 years old 5 feet six inches tall and I weigh 240 oounds. I hate to cook and i hate to plan menus and i love to eat just pretty much whatever i see especially butter and fat filled gooeys. I already have hypertension and slightly damaged kidneys, I need to stop.......
Ilove watching the biggest loser show out of all my tv shows it is my favorit. i like watching Jullian train but i do have to say out of all 3 trainers Kim and Bob is who i like the most. i am a mother of 2 and i dont like my weight so with it being a new yr my husband and i are going to start working it all off. At the church we are going to they have their own biggest loser comp. going on so i want to thank the show helping others feel good and start a healthy new life
I too am a fan of the biggest loser! Kim is the best. Jillian fans come on she looks like a man and is totally phoney- in it for herself!
I think it was a bad idea to let them have a couple like Jillian said then she cant get to know the people
i havae been wishing they would show more about what the contestants are eating.that is as important as the exercise.
I just recently started watching the program and it has inspired me to do something about my weight. I am hoping to becoming a member of the biggest loser group to reach my goals. I love my job (nursing) however I feel if I don't make some positive changes in my life that I won't be around to continue doing my job I love so much.
Jillian.. You are the BEST. Bob is good.. But you Rock.. I am so glad you are back..I love the show.. You make it worth watching..Whenever anyone cries I cry with them.. I have a weight problem so I know what those people are going through.. I would love to have you as a trainer.. I have tried so hard for so long to lose weight.. but the DRs say all the Meds I am on I can't do it.. But I still try.my own way but it is not working.. I would love to try your Diet.. so keep on kicking butt.. there is so many people who love. you.. and I am one of them..
love the show, wish everyone could go to camp, also would like to see people with physical handicaps do a show, this show is awesome except neil is a jerk and he should have been voted off,
I am a diabetic single mother of three. It would be a dream come true to work with jillian. I am scared my health is going to give me a early death, I want to be around a long time for my kids. I have no clue where to start and no nutriant knowledge, please help me. being single with 3 kids I do not have money for alot of stuff.
I love the show, all three trainers. I am very upset with what happened with Neil. I think he should be disqualified from the show. It's supposed to be about weight loss, not sabotaging others efforts.
who eaver say kim bitch you are worng she does care
jillian is the best, she is real and is there to really help the people, but teaches them to want to do judy
Jillian rocks!! I am thrilled to see she is back on BL as the black Team Trainer. She is much better thatn Kim Lyons. Kim is Ok but I love tough, hard working Trainers who will help kick that fat away. Go Jillian. Bob and Jillian had good chemistry togethere so keep those 2 on the show.
If Jillian does read this, I just wanted to ask you if there's any way possible you can convince the producers to do a biggest loser for kids. It might be very important to get the adults small to, but the kids are the future, and some of the big kids might not be there to change the ways we live, maybe you can convince them to do it during the summer break. Some children that I know love the show, but some of them are afraid they won't live long enough to get the help that you're giving the adults.
I would like to know what exactly are considered non-food items...outside of stuff like, I guess, the fruit roll-ups and stuff like that. Thank you

I was just wondering how many people here use a couple wings to imitate a hen flying down? I like to hunt close to the roost my self, and love this technique. I saved a couple wings with the primary feathers only, and use them create the sound of a hen flying from her roost. I'll do a couple nervous (fly-down) clucks first, then flap a two wings one atop the other against a sapling then my self, for a few seconds, followed by a few more every ten seconds in succession, imitating the dominant hen, subordinate hens and jens flying down. The two wings together will give off a snapping sound as the primary feather shafts crack against a tree or your body, sounding very realistic. I'll have a full strut jake fan on a stake (trust me, they don't care if there's not a decoy body attached) I use an old arrow shaft glued to the fan stuck in the ground by it's self or next to a jake decoy, and a few hen decoys out in the field before sun-up, and from my experience, this has been super effective. I've had as many as 20 birds all ages and both sexes fly into my decoys like waterfowl will. You do have to call and imitate the fly-down much earlier than normal (at the first minutes of open hunting hours), because you can get busted by roosted birds in good daylight, but if you can sit still and allow shooting hours to open, this can be very effective in getting a bird at first light. Of course like any technique out there, it won't work every time. I've got into clucking battles with the dominant hen on her roost. I simply will imitate her clucks as soon as she talks, and piss her off. I had a dominant hen on two separate occasions fly down and attack my hen decoys. I know it's not too often that a hen will fight, but they do! I sit my back in a clump of trees or a big old oak with my back to the flock I may have roosted the night before, and facing towards my decoys which I keep to my left for easier shooting (I'm right handed). If you can call in the hen, and she is out in your decoys "clucking" mad , then you have the perfect draw for the tom that will usually follow. If you've never tried it, then give it a shot, and if you already do it, then let us hear your stories.
This especially works well early in the season when the birds are still in their winter flock. Basically your trying to call in the hens, with the toms to follow.
April 11th and 12th is my Son's first season, and he has the youth hunt for that weekend. Hopefully I'll post pictures then.
Good luck everyone!

It seems that the producers have finnaly arrived at a decicion – actress Deepika Padukone is the one who will replace the actress Zeenat Aman in the item number for the '70 called 'Dum Maro Dum'. The item number was part of the mega famous film 'Hare Krishna Hare Ram'. Even though the Bollywood super star Deepika is not part of the movie, she will do a dance routine in that particular hot number.
She has managed to overthrow the main actress of the film, none other than Bipasha Basu. As official sources state, it seems that the hot performance and song will not be part of the picture, but it is going to be used as a very special music video.
Although Rohan Sippy has been thinking of other actresses to do this number, he finally decided to take on Deepika Padukone, partly because everybody in his staff suggested her. So he made the decision of following the popular opinion. Rumors are that Deepika Padukone was not even on the list of Rohan Sippy.

For our troublesome backlit portrait shot, we can use the spot meter to take a reading from the subject's face. We know that the lightmeter will give a reading that would make the face mid-tone grey, which is zone five. However from the zone chart we know that average Caucasian skin should be zone six, so we need to increase the spot metered exposure by one stop, in this case from 1/30th at f5.6 to 1/30th at f4. In the resulting shot the background details are all burned out, but the subject is correctly exposed.
For the over-exposed photo of the car on the black background, we can use a similar but different approach. Spot metering the background gives an exposure setting of 1/3rd sec at f5.6 to render it as zone five mid-grey. By reducing that exposure by four stops to 1/3rd at f22 we can make the background come out as it should be, zone one black.
The zone exposure system can help you with all difficult exposures, but it can also vastly improve even your general photography. Learning to think of images in terms of the zone system will encourage you to take more care with your shots, and also to become more creative. Control over exposure is the primary creative tool of the photographer, and learning how to use it will make the difference between mere snapshots and artistic photographs. This system has been used by professional photographers for over 60 years. Used properly, it can help to improve your photography immensely, probably more than any other single technique.
Note: I've made a card that can be printed out at 10x15cm which has the zone system chart on it. You can download this reference card by clicking here.

Cities gained prominence as the dreary, overpopulated and unsanitary by-products of the industrial revolution. Their dark days gave rise to tuberculosis, child labour and the proletariat. Environmentalists have criticized cities for displacing habitats and forests and polluting the air. Smog in major Chinese cities have become so terrible that the premier "declared war" on it. Yet the benefits of urbanization are unstoppable. Larger cities are generally wealthier and more productive. Cities also lead innovation by connecting people from all walks of life. From Florence arose the Renaissance and from Birmingham, the Industrial Revolution (Economist, 2013). Today, the city itself is being revolutionized, as innovators focus on creating a smart and sustainable city.
The word 'census' originates from Rome, whereby the administration of the time was able to take advantage of the large amounts of data produced by cities. Modern municipalities, in a similar fashion, are eager to collect, process, and use data to create "smart-cities" that will provide a higher quality of life for their citizens. Although a "smart city" has yet been defined, the general belief is that such municipalities would feature self-managing systems and services. Advocates for such a city imagine a world where forces can be immediately responsive – emergency services will know where a gas leak or fire is located. The transit system is self-managed, scheduled to respond to citizen needs. Analysis of common events such as traffic collisions can be analyzed to build better transport networks and the management of key resources, namely energy, can be optimized.
Observers may argue that there are already a number of cities that self-identify as 'smart.' Unfortunately, for the vast majority of cities, this is a great exaggeration. Although some cities (particularly in Eastern Asia) demonstrate great technological capabilities, it is a stretch to consider them a model of the future. Data infrastructure and management is a highly costly endeavor. Without a direct, measurable revenue model, it is unlikely that municipalities themselves will be involved in the initial construction of such infrastructure. Therefore, the smart city revolution will be driven by entrepreneurs and private organizations, which will have to prove the usefulness of their technologies before receiving buy-in.
Companies such as IBM and Microsoft are eager to provide services that would undoubtedly serve as infrastructure for the overall "smart city" model. For such firms, these contracts are a winning revenue source. Providing the infrastructure to collect data generates revenues beyond the initial implementation cost – maintenance, analysis, and upgrades are likely to follow, thus providing these firms with a handle on the city's information. However, sinking their teeth into these cities will prove quite challenging given the grandiose ambitions outlined by these firms. For example, Siemen's "Infrastructure and Cities" division is its lowest performing division because few municipalities can justify investment. Moreover, throwing IT infrastructure at a complex goal is hardly a solution – smart cities will benefit from a human component. Therefore, smart cities, as society will know them in a few decades from now, will start with the individual, followed by small startups and larger corporate firms.
Already, individual persons have grasped the basic building blocks of a smart city. Collisions and minor incidents are self-reported by Twitter users and provide up-to-date information faster than any city website. Smartphones from which users regularly check-in, and applications that mine data posted to public feeds will provide some of the lower-level infrastructure necessary. Small mobile applications provide a wide berth of information in a way that is far more convenient than ever before. Some applications will be built purely for the sake of curiosity, but will provide inspiration or a basis for bigger, more integrated applications. Much of the data necessary for these applications is already freely available or available upon request thanks to freedom of information acts. But when several applications exist, one can link data to provide information that is integrated and useful to city management. An application which links peak energy usage to the management of non-time sensitive utilities can help cities save money by working off the grid and decreasing the total stress on the system. Although a disconnected architectural approach may appear counter intuitive, it protects the city from having to rely on a single platform or vendor in the future. Organizations, whether they are publically run or outsourced to firms, will also recognize and respect the importance of managing and applying data to make decisions. They will build their own databases from which future technologies will draw from.
Modern cities are global powerhouses requiring large energy and resource inputs to run successfully. Ideally, cities will be able to minimize their energy inputs while providing the same (or greater) quality of life they provide today. Linear energy approaches use electricity and resources as they are demanded. This is the method with which energy today is managed. However, energy centers of cities need to become circular. Smart cities will manage energy centers by reducing use during peak hours and recycling resources through an integrated system. Smart metering, already a part of most buildings in Europe and North America, should be applied at the wider, community level. The European Initiative on Smart Cities has vowed to decrease greenhouse emissions by 40% (Strategic Energy Technologies Information System, 2012). The commission is currently off target but these projects prove an interest in smart city measures to drive sustainability. Other countries will soon see that these measures will prove necessary not just for the sake of environmental sustainability but to continue providing the same level of services in a cost-manageable manner.
Municipalities will display apprehension in working with larger companies to make use of a unified system given implementation difficulties. New York City implemented a $500 million public-safety network in 2008, but was unable to make use of it in any practical manner because of logistical challenges (New York Daily News, 2012). Given that governments often demonstrate great difficulty in implementing IT systems, corporations will need to lead and build the implementation process before selling cities on the project. This may be a risky endeavor on the part of firms who would prefer to secure a client before spending money on a project. However, the growing size and interconnectedness of cities will present this data as a cost saver rather than a cost center. Furthermore, a built system can be tailored to several cities ensuring that technology firms are able to approach and fulfill the needs of multiple prospects.
Perhaps the closest example of this system in action is Seoul, South Korea. Its current initiatives build upon a number of existing systems and technologies. u-Seoul Net, a three-pronged system providing citizens with city information, a CCTV network, and internet services for government use, began in 2003 and was finally completed in 2011. The city also makes use of community mapping, which relies on citizen-built road information. Similarly, an app called iTour links users to notable attractions across Seoul. Over the past few years, the city has increased the number of databases available to the public. As of 2012, there are 37 regularly-used city-based applications in Seoul. While its many advanced services may not yet be classified as "smart" because they are currently unintegrated, the administration is now courting a number of companies who boast that they will be able to integrate the plethora of available services in order to make Seoul a smart city.
Most envision the path to smarter cities as glamorously innovative with one or two key players in the implementation process. The reality is comparatively subdued. Ordinary citizens will play a major part in the development of the information needed to build resource and citizen conscious cities of the future. Larger firms and municipal governments will play a decidedly less high-profile role as a merger and user of these datasets. Whoever makes it happen, there is no better place to create meaningful societal and environmental change than the city. Indeed, by 2008, the average human was urban.

Liverpool's Kewell out until February at least
Liverpool's Australian midfielder Harry Kewell believes he will be out of action for at least another four months as he recovers from foot and groin surgery.
"It's going to be a while, we're looking past February," he told local media during a visit to his former school in Sydney.
The 28-year-old has not played for Liverpool this season and his last meaningful act on the pitch came when his goal in the 2-2 draw against Croatia booked Australia's place in the second round of the World Cup finals in Germany.
He was initially diagnosed with gout but further tests revealed he was suffering from an arthritic condition in his foot and he is still sore from the surgery undertaken last week.
"I'm just itching to get back into playing. My foot and my groin are a bit sore at the moment ," Kewell said.
"I just had that done on Friday, but the surgeons are very happy. I meet up with them again this week and if they give me the all-clear I'm back off to England.
"It's been a long hard thing for me, seven weeks so far, and I'm really looking forward to going home and seeing my family."
Kewell said he was at a loss to explain Liverpool's indifferent start to the Premier League season, adding their results had not reflected the quality of their performances.
"What's wrong with them? I don't know. I think we're playing well, we're just not finishing our chances.
"If you look at our past record we've always had a slow start to the season, but we always pick it up and we know where the back of the net is and it only takes one spark from any one of our great players to do that."
Liverpool are 11th in the Premier League after nine games, 11 points adrift of leaders Manchester United and behind the likes of Reading, Portsmouth and Fulham.

Re: Root finding needs higher accuracy
The option you need is WorkingPrecision.

Subject: [mg123171] Root finding needs higher accuracy
I would like to numerically find the root of the following function with

f12[x_] := Log[x] + x^2 / (2 Exp[1]) - 2 x / Sqrt[Exp[1]] + 1
This problem is known to be difficult for solvers in double precision

following attempts were not successful.
x /. FindRoot[f12[x], {x, 1.0, 3.4}, Method -> "Brent",

AccuracyGoal -> Infinity, PrecisionGoal -> 20], 16]
# 1.648710202030051
The true root obviously is Sqrt[Exp[1]]//N = 1.648721270700128...
The symbolic solver explicitely says it cannot solve this expression.
What do I need to do to get a much more exact result out of Mathematica?

Bush chukka men take polo to the man in the street
Page Tools
Beer necessities ... the Whroo Polo Club, led by Sam McCardel, right, is on a polo mission. Simon O'Dwyer
Photo: Simon O'Dwyer
Sam McCardel is on a mission to take the posh out of polo. The organiser of this weekend's Bush Polo Championship at the Whroo Club, near Rushmore in Victoria, hopes that by calling it bush polo the game can lose its elite tag without any of its skill.
"We coined the name bush polo to adjust everyone's expectations a little since 'polo' has an elite image that's not good for the sport," he said.
"People associate 'polo' with Ralph Lauren. But 'bush' is an iconic description for anything Australian ... it fits really well with the rugged outback dirt tracks stretching [forever], the kind of thing Banjo Paterson used to write poems about."
Polo, a form of hockey on horseback, involves two opposing teams of four riders. Play is usually divided into six chukkas, or periods, of 7 minutes each, with the horses rested and swapped at the end of each chukka. This means each rider must own a stable of up to six horses - an expensive undertaking that puts the sport beyond the reach of all but the rich.
But bush polo has been designed with the masses in mind.
"This weekend we're getting [riders] to use just two horses," Mr McCardel said. "With two horses rotating across four chukkas even the man in the street can play."
A record 40 players are taking part in Mr McCardel's event, seven of them from NSW. One is Wayne Joyce, 45, who trains twice a week with his teammates at Bong Bong Polo Club in Bowral.
"Our preparation has involved sinking down a couple of drinks before the event," Mr Joyce joked, before checking himself. "Actually, polo is a sport where you do have to be fit or you'll let your mates down, so between the drinking we've been riding horses and hitting balls a reasonable amount ... For me it's about that special moment where you feel at one with the horse, and then scoring a goal between those little white posts."

I have a 2004 2500HD 4x4 truck. It already has gibson headers, true dual exhaust (3inch), spin tech 3inch mufflers (I know, but the price was right), K&N cold air set up, and I have a hypertec programmer III on the way. Any other goodies to help with power and or mileage?? Is a cam swap or intake upgrade available and or worth it? I would love to slap a blower on it, but I haven't had the welth re-distributed to me yet.
Thanks for any thoughts in advance!!

Glock slide rail flaking
2 Attachment(s)
My G27 gen4 rear slide rails have the nickle coating flaking off and copper exposed. There is under 200 rounds on this gun and it seems like a bad plating job. How common is this,can or should I call glock for repair,or do I just hone and polish it down the shoot the heck out of it for ten years and never think about it again? Attachment 485909Attachment 485913
sent from my ATARI sc1224
That's normal. Nothing to worry about. Don't polish anything, don't hone anything, nothing.
I saw the original copper lube when the gun was new. This is definately the outter layer of plating that is comming off exposing the apparently copper plating under layer,similar to a chrome plating prosess,of the steel rail. It catches a finger nail or a tool. So Reedo,does it eventually smooth itself out without gouging the slide? I have never seen this happen with a gen3 (this is my only gen4) and also there is no wear on the front rails.
Edit: checked out glocktalk,its common and possibly coated for corrosion resistance and like you said Reedo,works itself out with use. Thanks.
sent from my ATARI sc1224
Yep, normal. Glocks are simple and built like tanks. Pics do not look that bad to me. As normal with a Glock, fire and forget.
Its a Glock. Leave it alone.
Like when buying older used weapons, 1st it must fire! 2nd, is wear and character showing use but also the care put into the weapon. Unless it is for your wall or just to show off to your buds. Leave it alone, use it often and maintain well.
This is my EDC bought new a few months ago and barley has gone 200 rounds. It just had me concerned that stuff was flaking off so soon. I'll put a few hundred more through it and see if it smoothes itself out. I would like to see some other examples of this to tell if it is just a gen 4 issue,or non-issue.
sent from my ATARI sc1224
Ok, now that I have learned more about it I am glad it is not a concern. Thanks for the extra input. I guess its time to test out my new mags that were just delivered.
sent from my ATARI sc1224
Want to know how many times I cleaned my first glock after 5 years of ownership? 2 times (one time a friend did it because he was bored). :rofl:. Never failed. Loved it. Sold it for a m&p 15/22 and had to purchase another glock because I missed it.
Yeah, I'd be lying if I said my EDC Glock 27 was clean right now.
It's a Glock.
Keep cleaning and scrubbing the ugly off it until it turns into a Springfield
Didn't know you could turn Austrian into Croatian... :D

Soon to Owner! Hello
Hey guys. Thanks for having me here. I would like to say hi to all.
I plan on buying a GSD real soon since my family has been asking for a Dog the last few years.
I understand some GSD terms but still unfamiliar with most. I will search the forum but if you would like to help out and post a link on here that would be great.
I've never owned a dog and it will be quite different for me. But I'm sure it will be rewarding and expensive. My wife has experience with dogs since she was a child so I hope she can provide some insight.
I'll start with my first Question. Red or Gold?
:welcome: For your color question: http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum...found-gsd.html
Welcome to the forum!
This link was put together by Wild Wolf, one of the forum members, very informative
German Shepherd Guide - Home
Plenty of info here on the forum as well.

You'll find our rates are more than reasonable and competitive with regional colleges and universities. With minimal off-campus housing options in the surrounding community, our living and learning community is the right choice for your college experience. You will also find our rates less expensive than campus-living at larger institutions and our amenities are in line with residence hall options regionally. All rates are per semester and are charged once in fall and once in spring. Summer housing options are not available at this time.
Room & Board Options
- Single Occupancy (female only) $2,600
- Quad Occupancy $1,950
Meal Plan Options
Board refers to the meal plans required for all residence hall students. Students are given a pool of money to begin the semester and must manage the funds themselves. Students have the option of selecting Plan #1 or Plan #2 as listed below. The cost of either is included in the Room & Board charges and serves as a declining balance. Students can use their meal card at breakfast, lunch, dinner and "Late Night Hunger." Once the balance is depleted, students may choose to add additional money to their meal card. The cafeteria offers a wide variety of choices from a salad bar and sub-n-sandwich station, to pizza and other meals college students love!
- 19 Meals per week, $200 flexible cash $1,950
- 14 meals per week, $150 flexible cash on card $1,350
I want my own side (double room).
Due to high demand, most students will be placed in quad or triple room arrangements. You will find our rooms spacious in comparison to most colleges or universities. Double occupancy rooms are reserved for seniors and are limited in availability. Class standing is determined by credit hours completed – not how many years a student has been at the institution.
Am I allowed to set up a payment plan to cover the cost of living on campus?
Yes. Marygrove allows students the option to set up a TMS payment plan to help cover the cost of living on campus. Late payments may result in immediate removal from residency. For more information on payment plans please contact the Business Office.
Residence Hall Charge Policy
All applicants who have financial approval for housing, by the end of the add/drop period (1st week of the term), will be billed at 100% of residence hall room and 100% of selected meal plan rate.
Applicants who are approved after the 1st week of the term will be billed 100% of the residence hall room and their meals will be prorated based on the week that they are approved.
Residence Hall Withdrawal/Refund Policy
Any residence hall student who meets the criteria listed below will be charged 100% of the residence hall room and given the option to either be charged for the amount of their meal plan that they used or be charged 100% of the meal plan and continue to utilize the meal plan until the end of the term.
Those who opt to continue to use their meal plan will not need their charges nor their financial aid adjusted.
(Unused portion of meal plan reversed from account balance could potentially result in refund to student)
- Withdraw from College
- Less than full-time enrollment
- Cancel housing
- Administrative Dismissal from Residence Hall or College

HCPCS Q0091, G0101-G0102, and S0610-S0612 with Evaluation & Management Services
Provider Administrative Policy
Claims Submission
Policy Date
May 2012
New/May 2012
Provider Type(s)
All Providers
DisclaimerOur provider administrative policies contain information regarding claims submission, reimbursement, and other information in order to achieve an efficient relationship with our providers. These policies are not an authorization or explanation of benefits. Blue Cross of Idaho retains the right to add to, delete from and otherwise modify this policy in accordance with our provider contracts.
Q0091 - Screening Papanicolaou smear; obtaining, preparing and conveyance of cervical or vaginal smear to laboratory
G0101 - Cervical or vaginal cancer screening; pelvic and clinical breast examination
G0102 - Prostate cancer screening; digital rectal examination
S0610 - Annual gynecological examination, new patient
S0612 - Annual gynecological examination, established patient
The five HCPCS codes listed above are components of evaluation and management (E/M) services and are not separately payable. If one of the HCPCS codes listed above is billed on the same date of service as an E/M service from the same provider, we will deny the HCPCS as a bundled service. We will not accept a bypass modifier of 59 or 25 on these code pairs.
If you bill any of these five codes alone to report a preventive service, without an E/M code, the service will be allowed according to the member's benefit. However, when you bill multiple HCPCS describing a similar service together, we will deny one of the codes. For example, we will deny Q0091 when billed with any of the three codes; G0101, S0610, or S0612 since those services include a pap smear. Additionally, we will deny S0610 or S0612 if billed on the same claim as G0101. We will also deny S0610 if billed on the same claim as S0612 - the patient is either 'new' or 'established', not both.
This policy does not apply to Medicare Advantage claims that follow National Correct Coding Initiative (NCCI) standards that typically pay the HCPCS code, but bundle the medical E/M service.

This product has been retired from our catalog and is no longer for sale. This page is made available for those looking for datasheets and the simply curious.
Description: Solarbotic's Herbie the Mousebot is a 9-volt battery-powered, light-following robot that loves to chase flashlight beams. These little robots are so quick, you have to run to keep up to them! Herbie even has functional whisker and tail sensors, so he doesn't get stuck in corners, or under obstacles, while chasing around. If there are several Herbies in the same area, they can even be configured to chase each other!
Herbie comes as a build-it-yourself kit that does not use any microprocessors or programming. You're supplied with all parts as shown in the picture, as well as documentation to put him together. The instructions contain many pictures and simple descriptions to make the building process easy and fun, especially for beginners.
This Herbie has a black body, we also carry a red version.
Any idea when these might be back in stock? :)
This is a good starter kit to teach someone soldering. However, Herbie has some problems for typical home fun. The big one being the motors are just too fast. In a reasonable sized kitchen you will loose Herbie to stray light in no time. There is no easy way to reduce the speed, a resistor even at 100 ohm is keeps the motors from running at all, and a 68 ohm resistor will burn out or catch fire. However a diode or two (better yet a zener diode tested for best results) will reduce it enough to use it in a typical sized room. Problem 2 is the case of the whisker switches, these switches are hair trigger on even the most light bump floor. Tile, wood (older wood floors where the space is defined between boards.) or asphalt will trigger them and Herbie will be going in reverse all the time (This can be solved with some heat shrink tubing.) The best way to modify the board for the diode/s is by not soldering the positive terminal of the battery to the other boards, putting in a separator and and soldering the desired number of power diodes in line. (the other option is to fly the lead that goes to the motors out to the diode and back to the socket but that is risky.) So in short great soldering and basic electronics device, but really not an optimally functioning product. The design might want to consider including a appropriately rated z-diode to reduce the speed so those of us without auditoriums can have some fun with him without a great deal of hacking.
