>December 2004
>THE 40th anniversary of the world's first high-speed railway, the
>Tokaido Shinkansen, was marked in Tokyo on November 9 by a
>conference staged by JR Central and JR West on the
>environmental benefits of high-speed rail. Mr Lester Brown,
>president of the Earth Policy Institute in the United States, gave
>an impressive keynote speech on the environmental problems
>currently facing the planet and the measures that need to be
>taken now to resolve them.
>Brown said that soil erosion, which has been a major threat to
>food production, has now been joined by two new environmental
>trends that will also jeopardise food production: falling water
>tables and an average annual rise in temperature of 0.7�C.
>According to Brown, each 1�C increase leads to a 10% reduction
>in rice, grain, wheat and corn production. Brown believes that the
>situation will come to a head very soon. "World grain stocks are
>now down to their lowest level; just barely covering this year's
>consumption," he said. "Next year will be a challenge, especially
>if it is a poor harvest."
>Brown said that it is vital to increase water productivity, stabilise
>the world population, and stabilise the climate. He said this is
>entirely achievable provided we use imagination and have strong
>It will be disastrous if China, India, and other developing
>countries emulate the developed world with its disposable
>society and automobile-centred transport. "To change China to a
>car-dependent society, you would have to pave over an area
>equivalent to that used to grow rice," Brown pointed out. Rail, on
>the other hand, has a huge landtake advantage over road.
>Professor K Ueta of Kyoto University, added that if China reached
>the same level of car ownership as Japan the number of cars in
>China would be equivalent to the total number of cars in the
>world today.
>Rail clearly has an important role to play in solving the world's
>environmental problems. Dr Tsutomu Toichi, managing director
>of Japan's Institute of Energy Economics, said that rail
>consumes the least energy of all modes of transport. Trains
>consume 50kcal/passenger-km, compared with 300 for buses,
>480 for aircraft, 550 for ferries, and 580 for cars.
>Brown remarked that Japan had set the standard for rail
>transport. "It is hard to imagine Japan without a high-speed rail
>system. Without the Shinkansen, there would be more pollution
>and road congestion."
>Mr Masayuki Matsumoto, president of JR Central, said that the
>Tokaido Shinkansen had an 81% share of the air-rail market
>between Tokyo and Osaka. The project to reduce journey times
>and build a new station at Shinagawa had boosted traffic on both
>the Tokaido and Sanyo Shinkansen by 5%.
>Matsumoto pointed out that improvements in train design had
>significant environmental benefits. "Our most recent series 700
>trains run at 270km/h yet consume 16% less energy than the
>original series 0 rolling stock running at 220km/h." The new
>N700, which is due to enter revenue service in 2007, is expected
>to be 10% more energy efficient. A prototype N700 will start trials
>next year.
>Mr Louis Gallois, president of French National Railways (SNCF),
>pointed out that TGV uses 3.5 times less energy than a private
>car and six times less than a medium-range aircraft. He also
>said that a double-track high-speed railway uses only half the
>land needed for a four-lane highway but has a greater capacity.
>Mr Hartmut Mehdorn, CEO of German Rail (DB), pointed out the
>benefits of electric traction. He said 90% of trains in Germany are
>powered by electricity. "In 2003, 281GWh of power was fed back
>into the grid from braking energy, setting a new world record,"
>Mehdorn told delegates. Energy-saving driving techniques
>enabled DB to reduce traction current costs by 10% last year,
>saving about $US 10 million. Mehdorn also pointed that almost
>11% of DB's energy comes from renewable sources, namely
>hydroelectric, wind, and solar power. "Without the railway, an
>additional 16 million tonnes of CO2 would be emitted into the air
>over Germany."

Chapter 5
Minato came after breakfast.
Jiraiya was relieved that breakfast had gone off without a hitch, easier than yesterday. Kakashi had woken right away and seemed calm. He didn't need any help to get dressed, and he was talking like normal, in an adult fashion. In fact, Kakashi had helped make the omelets and rice they'd eaten for breakfast.
Minato opened the door and announced his entrance. "I'm here."
Jiraiya dropped the pan he was washing and glanced at Kakashi. Kakashi stood on a stool in order to be at a comparable height to the sink, so he could rinse and dry the dishes.
"We're in here," Jiraiya called. "Just a second."
Kakashi put down his dishrag and hopped off the stool, running to meet his sensei.
Jiraiya pulled off his rubber gloves and joined them in the living room. He got there in time to see Kakashi bow.
"Good morning," Kakashi said.
Minato exchanged bows, looking bemused. "Good morning."
"Ojichan and I were finishing the dishes," Kakashi said.
"He's good at helping," Jiraiya said.
Minato smiled. "That's nice."
"I helped with the dishes all the time," Kakashi said. "Father taught me to do the dishes by myself."
"How are you feeling this morning?" Minato asked.
"Fine," Kakashi said. He looked to Jiraiya. "I'm fine."
Jiraiya hesitated.
Kakashi crossed the two steps to Jiraiya's side and squeezed Jiraiya's hand. "Ojichan is nervous that Tsunade might still take me away."
"No," Jiraiya protested.
Kakashi raised an eyebrow at him in an oddly adult way, looking at Jiraiya with a piercing gaze.
Jiraiya shifted uncomfortably. "Well…maybe. But it's nothing for you to worry about, Kakashi-kun."
"I'm not worried," Kakashi said. 'I'm staying even if they tell me to go."
Jiraiya flushed slightly and looked to Minato. "I'm, ah, counting on you to keep Kakashi company while I straighten this out. There's supposed to be a meeting this morning in Sarutobi-sensei's office. I just haven't gotten the word of it yet. I'm waiting to be summoned."
"Guess who's coming?" Minato asked brightly.
Kakashi looked at his teacher quizzically. "Who?"
"Kushina!" Minato grinned and spread his hands. "She's meeting with her team right now, but she's going to be here in about an hour."
Kakashi lit up. "Will Kushina-san make lunch?"
Minato laughed. "I bet she might." He ruffled Kakashi's hair.
"Good." Kakashi smiled. "Ojichan's cooking is good, but Kushina-san's is better."
"Outclassed by a woman," Jiraiya said, clutching his chest and appearing comically wounded.
"Don't let her catch you saying that," Minato said. "She's not any woman, she's Red Hot Habanero Kushina."
Jiraiya broke out the shogi set and allowed Minato and Kakashi to play at the kitchen table. Both of them seemed to enjoy it. Kakashi was holding his own in fine form when Kushina arrived.
She kissed Jiraiya's cheek. "Oh, Jiraiya-sensei, Sarutobi says he's ready for you now. I just swung by there to report about my team's D-Rank mission."
Jiraiya kissed her cheek in return. "Thanks, Kushina-chan!" He hugged Kakashi. "Okay, I guess I'll be going."
Kakashi nodded, absorbed in plotting his next move against Minato.
When Jiraiya arrived, Tsunade and Orochimaru were already there.
"You're late," Orochimaru said.
"I'm not late," Jiraiya retorted. "I've got responsibilities."
Sarutobi said, "Tsunade was just filling me in on how the visit went." He gestured with his pipe. "Please, join us."
"Although Kakashi-kun's affect was noticeably flat, he has entered the anger stage," Tsunade said. "This is evident by the way he derides his father. Saying things like, 'He was a prick', or 'He was a traitor', is a way of making himself feel better about the situation. As long as he remains entrenched in anger, he can't feel the pain waiting to come out."
Jiraiya nodded slowly. "He shocked Mino-kun by coming up with that stuff. Minato's never heard Kakashi speak ill of his father."
"We need allow Kakashi room for this anger," Tsunade said. "By expressing himself, he will be able to move on to the other stages of grief, and then to healing."
"Some people never exit the anger stage of grief, isn't that true?" Orochimaru said skeptically.
"That is simply because no one has allowed them free enough expression," Tsunade said. "Bottling it up inside is what causes a person to get stuck."
"How do you know Kakashi-kun wants to get over his father's death?" Orochimaru asked. "He was suicidal, wasn't he?"
"In the beginning," Jiraiya said defensively. "For like a day. Not even a day! He just needed to know I was here for him."
"Oh, yes. Jiraiya is here. Comforting," Orochimaru drawled.
"To a small child, having a known relative would be," Tsunade said, for once moving in to stop Orochimaru before he got on a roll.
"So I get to keep him?" Jiraiya asked.
"I'm not finished giving my report," Tsunade said.
Jiraiya looked at the floor, disheartened. That's a no, then.
"Kakashi-kun experienced a blackout that he later denied as 'sleepwalking'," Tsunade said. "This suggests to me that Kakashi is experiencing a common reaction to trauma in children, called 'intrusive imagery'. Intrusive imagery is a symptom of post traumatic stress disorder. Children can get it; unfortunately, the flow of disturbed children through our hospital shows that. Therefore, Kakashi-kun is experiencing a battery of symptoms that may include flashbacks, lost time, intrusive imagery, and regression." She nodded. "I'd also expect him to have lots of nightmares."
"What do I do?" Jiraiya asked. He hurt to think that he could do nothing.
"Watch him," Tsunade said. "I need you to monitor him for these signs. If they become severe, we may need to hospitalize him and place him on medication. It is also imperative that at some point, Kakashi discusses what he's seen, and his thoughts and feelings in reaction to it."
Jiraiya paced. That wasn't an outright denial of his right to keep Kakashi. She wanted his help. But he had to know. "Well?" He didn't know why Tsunade was dragging this out so long. "What's the verdict? Do I get to keep him or not, Tsunade-chan?"
Tsunade glared at him. "I'm getting to that. Let me explain the situation first."
"Please do," Sarutobi said, gesturing. He lit his pipe and began smoking, looking thoughtful and worried. "Finish your analysis for me."
"Kakashi-kun has created a suitable cover," Tsunade said. "A reason why he's going to stay with Jiraiya other than the fact that his father is dead."
"What does this mean?" Sarutobi asked. "Is this a good thing or a bad thing?"
"Oh, it's a good thing," Tsunade said. "For his stage in development, it's a remarkably advanced protection technique. Not only has he avoided going into denial about his father's death, he's funneled all of his anxiety into taking care of Jiraiya; something that makes it easy for him to manage his feelings, since in reality Jiraiya is taking care of him. I'd say it's a successful bonding technique. Transference can be very powerful as a method of building bonds with children. Most children go through this with their parents. There comes a time when it is healthiest to sever all ties of transference with one's parents, but that is a stage of development Kakashi has not reached yet. That happens sometime in adolescent years, between the ages of thirteen and sixteen. Generally speaking, that is."
"So I get to keep him," Jiraiya said. He wanted to make sure he had this right.
"You're a far better parent than I'd taken you for," Tsunade said wryly.
"So that's a yes." Jiraiya wanted her to come out and say it.
"Yes," Tsunade said, narrowing her eyes at him.
Jiraiya pumped his fist in the air. "Yes!"
"I suppose your youthful enthusiasm, as distasteful as it is to an adult, may be endearing to a child," Orochimaru drawled. "Perhaps."
"Make sure you give Kakashi enough stuff to do," Tsunade said. "He's going to need to feel useful to keep his cover up. So letting him in on a few household chores and perhaps teaching him how to cook some things with you as a team will make him feel needed. And don't be afraid to share some emotional insights with him, as long as they're small enough. Things like, 'I feel sad today', for instance. Or 'that made me feel better, thank you'."
Jiraiya nodded slowly. "I'll try to keep that in mind. And for him? What do I do for him?"
"Just stay yourself," Tsunade said. "As Orochimaru said, unenthusiastic though he was, being yourself seems to be exactly what Kakashi needs right now."
Jiraiya smirked. "Hear that, Snake Face? Tsunade sides with me today."
Tsunade rolled her eyes.
Orochimaru looked away, not deigning to comment.
Jiraiya came back to find Kakashi sitting silently on the sofa between Minato and Kushina. His head was bowed.
"What's up?" Jiraiya asked quietly.
Minato held Kakashi's hand. "He's been like this. Maybe for…half an hour?" He looked to Kushina.
"Twenty minutes," Kushina said. She held Kakashi's other hand. "He's been alright. We got him to sit and watch TV with us, and we were talking about ordinary things. When he would get to be back on missions, those sorts of things. Then he just…" She shrugged helplessly.
"Drifted off," Minato said. "It was like he'd heard a noise, or had a sudden thought…and then we couldn't reach him."
"Well, we're here," Kushina said. "I guess that's all we can do."
Kakashi gave no sign he could hear them.
Jiraiya scooped Kakashi up and sat down on the couch in Kakashi's place, forcing Minato and Kushina to scoot a little farther apart. He set Kakashi in his lap and gently cupped Kakashi's chin, directing Kakashi to look at him. "Hey, Kashi-kun. It's Ojisan. How are you feeling?"
Kakashi looked at Jiraiya blankly. His gray eyes were unfocused. Then, his gaze slowly slid away.
Jiraiya tried not to be scared. He swallowed a lump in his throat. He removed his hand and just cradled Kakashi against him.
The TV mumbled in the background, unnoticed by anyone.
They waited in silence. After a few minutes, Minato turned the TV up and changed the channel, bright-eyed.
Jiraiya stroked Kakashi's hair. "We're here for you, and we're not leaving."
After a moment, Kakashi whimpered and curled up against him.
Jiraiya's stomach contracted in pain at that noise from his nephew. He didn't stop stroking Kakashi's hair. "We're here. I promise."
Kakashi whimpered again. He scrunched up against the crook of Jiraiya's arm, his head against Jiraiya's shoulder, and raised his hand, curling it against his mouth in a primitive shielding gesture.
"Are you awake?" Jiraiya asked gently. "Minato and Kushina are here…"
Kakashi didn't respond.
Jiraiya glanced at Minato and Kushina in return.
"I'm here," Minato volunteered. "And Kushina-chan is, too. We love you, very much, Kakashi-kun."
Kakashi's gaze flickered. He looked from Jiraiya to Minato, giving his sensei a hard stare.
"We won't leave you like he did," Minato said firmly.
Kakashi's eyes widened. He looked up at Jiraiya.
"It's true," Jiraiya said. "We're all here for keeps." He kept stroking Kakashi's hair, slowly and gently.
"Mommy," Kakashi said. His voice was clear, but shaky. "Mommy said she'd be all better. Then she left."
Kushina started crying and hugged Kakashi tightly, leaning on Jiraiya. "Oh, Kashi-kun."
"Mommy said she loved me." Kakashi's voice cracked. "She said 'I love you sweetheart bye-bye, Mommy's going to the hospital for some tests' and then she never came back." He jerked, cringing against Jiraiya. "She never came back!"
Kushina took Kakashi from Jiraiya's arms and held him tightly, cradling him against her chest. Kakashi clung to her. Kushina rocked him, stroking his hair. "This Mommy is never going to leave."
Kakashi trembled. "Mommy?"
"Yes," Kushina said.
Jiraiya was stunned and confused that this is what had come out of Kakashi first. Kakashi had been two years old when his mother died. It was remarkable that Kakashi could remember anything. But maybe he hadn't. Not until this newer trauma triggered his memories of his old one.
Kakashi looked up at Kushina with wide eyes.
Kushina kissed his cheeks. "It's alright, sweetheart. You can cry."
"I can't though," Kakashi blurted. "Daddy said not to cry. He said 'Don't cry. Don't cry. Ninjas don't cry and you'll be a strong ninja someday. So you have to start not crying.'" He bit his lip. "I saw Daddy crying though. Daddy cried a lot. And he said he wouldn't."
Jiraiya wanted to bring Sakumo back from the dead just to strangle him.
"Daddy…" Kakashi closed his eyes and frowned, as if he had a headache. "…is a hypocrite. That's someone who does what they're not supposed to."
Now Jiraiya felt guilty. He was the one who'd called Sakumo a hypocrite. Repeatedly.
Kakashi slumped against Kushina, closing his eyes. "Daddy does all the things he's not supposed to do. Who is going to punish him?"
"Sandaime," Kushina said gently. "Sandaime will punish Sakumo. He is very wise. I am sure Sandaime will do the right thing."
Kakashi seemed soothed by that.
After a few minutes, he muttered, "I'm tired."
"Take a nap, then," Kushina said. "You can go to sleep right here."
Jiraiya was surprised that Kakashi took her up on it. It looked like his nephew just plain passed out. He watched Kakashi, but Kakashi didn't seem to be waking up.
"It's bad, isn't it," Minato mumbled.
Jiraiya slipped an arm around Minato and hugged him. "We'll all get through this together, remember? We will."
Minato nodded, but he still looked upset. He stared at the TV with a troubled expression.
"Would you like some lunch?" Kushina asked. "Kakashi-kun asked me to make him lunch, and I didn't want to leave him to go shopping. I hope you don't mind."
"Not at all." Jiraiya grinned at her. "Whip my poor, humble ingredients into a feast any time you want."
"Would you like some?" Kushina asked. "Kakashi-kun asked for yakitori. I made some beef skewers, too."
Jiraiya realized he was nauseous. "Um…sure. Thanks, Kushina-chan." He kissed her cheek and rose from the sofa. Then he turned and faced Minato. "You ate already, I trust?"
"Yes," Minato said. He glanced at Jiraiya. "Yes, thank you. I'm alright, Sensei."
"Scoot over and join Kushina," Jiraiya advised. "Your lovely wife probably wants to sit next to you without your fat old sensei in the way."
"You're not fat," Minato protested, but he scooted over and snuggled against Kushina.
Jiraiya grinned at them and went into the kitchen to retrieve some food. The grin came easier than it had a moment ago. Bantering with Minato like normal helped. As he raided the refrigerator, he couldn't help but think about how much Sakumo's death was affecting them all. It wasn't just Kakashi they had to worry about. They were all in danger of falling apart.
He'd do whatever he could to keep that from happening.

Question about Tomtom ONE GPS Receiver
Stuck on, waiting for valid GPS signal.
Posted by garylar on
Either the GPS receiver section or the antenna section of your TomTom is faulty ..... or .... Software on your SD card is corrupted ....... or .... ( if you are in a country north of the equator ) and you don't have a clear view of the sky from east through south to west.
All the GPS satellite's are direct above the equator , very high up , this means if you look south and imagine a big rainbow in the sky but VERY VERY HIGH ( so it would be ' almost ' straight up ) this is where they are and your Tom Tom needs to have a clear view of this ' arc' in the sky. If a TomTom has lost the 'remembered' positions of the satellite's along this arc it can take it several minutes to scan and find them. Once it finds them , it remembers them so it can find them quickly again each time you switch on. So, try and make sure your TomTom can see this arc and has a clear view of it. Switch it on and leave it for about 4 or 5 minutes. If it doesn't get the signals then unfortunately it will be one of the first ' problems ' mentioned above. ..... Good luck.

So after pointing out the text with a permanent marker...
No rush needed..
Take your time...
I punched little pockmarks on it, so drilling would be easier...2 little mistakes...but no problem to me...
The moment was there to drill little holes..which went perfect...
Time to sand down to get it smooth and than polishing could start with the polishmachine... (that silver gets so hot!!)
A bright and shiny ring appeared..
I took my beautiful red Habu yarn, a needle.. and embroidering was the next step...
On one side:
And on the other side:
And inbetween an X in Blue yarn...
So it is YOU X ME X and so on
I have to say that I love this design...and the ring fits perfect.
One day it might be "YOU"-day...
And the next day it could be "ME"-day..
I simply love the Course.
Jeannette is a great and helpfull teacher and it is a joy to be in het studio/shop.
My creativity is stil there and for me it is exiting to try out new things.
Next week I hope to finish a ring and perhaps start another one for me.. a bit smaller, with a fun element on it..
In the next 10 weeks of the course I will start my bracelet...
What else?
Knitting ofcourse...
I did finish my sweater with the perfect cowl..
But I have to wait for a friend to pass by, so he or she can make a picture when I am wearing it...
I finished off my pair of mittens and really like them..
With the leftovers I did cast on another pair of fingerless mitts in a zig-zag pattern..
Not sure if I have yarn enough, but..I am not afraid for a bit of improvising..
But there is more...
Last week I bought the Top-Down Icelandic Sweater course from Craftsy, presented by the famous Lopapeysa Queen Ragga.
Ofcourse I know how to knit, and ofcourse I could have figured out how to knit Top-Down.
But I was curious about this kind of course..
I can tell you:
Despite that the cardi is very feminine..
That I won't knit that one for myself..but maybe with some changes I might..
It is fun to watch Ragga telling stories in an enthusiastic way.
She shares great tips and tricks with her students.
You can ask online any question on the lessons..and get quick an answer...
Icelandic yarn is easy available here in the Netherlands..
But shadecards are not..
I have tried everything, but always the answer was: NO.
So I mailedo Istex with that question, and they kindly offered me to send all shadecards...
When I came home after the course, there was post from Iceland..
And in the envelop I found all shadecards from the one's I asked for..
I really like the yarns from Istex. The colours are wonderfull and there is a great variety in it. It is not a soft yarn, but after knitting and a soak it becomes really soft and it is a joy to wear.
Because I am not knitting the cardi from the course, I decided to knit another pattern from Ragga...The Odinn.. a free pattern on her website Knitting Iceland.
Because I want to learn how to Steek (I am not scary at all, because Ragga shows it in her course in an easy way), I am making a cardigan out of it, with a buttonband added.
At my LYS DOL-OP=WOL I bought Álafosslopi in 3 colours from which blue will be the mainpart and the green will be for the borders and the buttonband..
It looks a little old-fashioned togehter, but i really like this combo.
I think it will go quick , because it is knitted on needle 6...and I go for size M..

You can always count on some surprises at the Golden Globes but this year the Hollywood Foreign Press Assn. really served up the shockeroos. (See our recap of the entire evening here and the complete winners list here.)
1. We all thought "Spotlight" had the Best Drama Picture trophy locked up (1/4 odds) and didn't really think any other film could possibly beat it. "The Revenant" was down in fourth place with 28/1 odds, behind "Mad Max: Fury Road" (9/1) and "Carol" (22/1).
2. After the uproar when "The Martian" was classified as a comedy many of us thought that the film's chances were badly damaged. Add in that "The Big Short" seemed to be gathering momentum and we thought it would fall by the wayside in the race for Best Comedy/Musical Picture. Looks like Ridley Scott had the last laugh on that one.

3. Last year Alejandro G. Iñárritu was expected to win Best Director for "Birdman" but lost to Richard Linklater for "Boyhood." This year we had him in fourth place for "The Revenant" with 18/1 odds but he still won over Ridley Scott for "The Martian" (9/10), George Miller for "Mad Max: Fury Road" (5/2) and Tom McCarthy for "Spotlight" (15/2).
4. Boy did this year's festivities start off with a jaw-dropper! In the Best Supporting Actress category most of our experts had Alicia Vikander in the top spot for her performance in "Ex Machina." So it was a huge surprise that Kate Winslet ended up taking this award (to all of us and Kate as well!) for her performance as Joanna Hoffman in "Steve Jobs." She was all the way down in fourth place in our predictions center.
5. Speaking of "Steve Jobs," that film pulled off another shocker when it claimed the prize for Best Screenplay for Aaron Sorkin. Sorkin was in fourth place in our predictions with 25/1 odds, well behind the scripters for "Spotlight" (1/3), "The Big Short" (15/2) and "The Hateful Eight" (14/1). It's the first time since 1980 that a film not nominated for Best Picture has won the Screenplay award; back then it went to when William Peter Blatty for "The Ninth Configuration."
6. Maura Tierney won Best TV Supporting Actress for "The Affair." She was also in fourth place with 7/1 odds and her show was not even up for Best Drama Series. But she managed to overcome the odds and take down Regina King for "American Crime" (21/20), Judith Light for "Transparent" (4/1) and Uzo Aduba for "Orange is the New Black" (5/1).
Golden Globes winners:
'The Revenant,' 'The Martian,' 'Mozart in the Jungle' lead night full of upsets
7. Many of us thought that Lady Gaga's nomination for Best Movie/Mini Actress for her performance in "American Horror Story: Hotel" was the reward for her. But the HFPA wanted her on stage too. Despite third-place odds of 18/1, she overtook Kirsten Dunst for "Fargo" (1/5) and Felicity Huffman for "American Crime" (14/1)
8. That win for "Wolf Hall" in the Best Movie/Mini category was definitely one out of left field. We had it in third place with 50/1 odds far back of frontrunner Fargo" (1/10) and "American Crime" (25/1).
9. The thought of Rachel Bloom winning Best TV Comedy Actress for "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend" was, well, crazy especially with her odds of 7/1 which put her in third place. But the actress and co-creator of the CW series edged out Julia Louis-Dreyfus for "Veep" (4/5) and Lily Tomlin for "Grace and Frankie" (11/2).
10. Jon Hamm ("Mad Men") may have only been in second place in our predictions with 13/2 odds of winning but we all thought "Mr. Robot" star Rami Malek was a shoo-in with 2/5 odds of winning. The Globes usually love to reward the new hot new stars. However, voters gave Hamm a chance to deliver that acceptance speech he's had in his pocket since 2008 when he won during the writers' strike which kept the Globes off the air.

ATH and DekorFlake are key ingredients in the composite material referred to as solid surfacing (or artificial stone or synthetic marble/onyx).
Solid surfacing that is widely used for kitchen, bathroom and laboratory counter tops benefits from the addition of ATH as it assists with most of the properties required for this material. Our ATH product has exceptional whiteness, good translucency, is resistant to chemicals and weathering (also providing water resistance), is a natural fire retardant and provides impact resistance to the material. ATH is a soft mineral which contributes to making solid surfacing machinable. Loading levels of between 40 to 70% of ATH provides the best properties.
DekorFlake can be incorporated into polyester or acrylic resins used to make solid surfacing providing sparkle or natural stone effects. The addition levels will vary depending on the effect desired; the stability and resistance of DekorFlake are beneficial for this application.

It seems that managements have at last found the key to pulling in the punters. Not because it's the New World Symphony or the 1812; not because of a starry pas de deux or a multi-million-pound tenor aria. They've discovered the Farewell Concert. It has taken 20 years to learn the trick from Frank Sinatra, but better late than never.
The Royal Opera decided to hold its beano to remind the faithful - extremely expensively - that they will not be able to set foot in the dear old place again for the next two years, while the decorators are in for pounds 214m-worth of repairs. The Farewell Gala Concert played to a 2,000-plus audience glittering with royalty and VIPs inside the house, and to thousands more watching the live relay on the giant screen outside, while another few millions watched it all on TV at home.
Our Bournemouth do may not quite have emulated Covent Garden's glitzy affair. It was more modest in its aspirations, but no less worthy for all that. It was Brendan O'Brien's last concert after 29 years as the orchestra's leader. "Brendan's Last Stand" shouted the local rag. "The programme will include the New World Symphony, starring Celia Craig playing the famous Hovis segment." It wasn't the prospect of our cor anglais player trying to coax a tune out of a chunk of medium-sliced brown bread that had them flocking in, but the sight of Brendan leading the orchestra for the very last time.
Even though we couldn't rustle up Domingo, Haitink or Solti, or relay the concert on a giant screen above the crazy-golf course outside, or receive sealed bids for Brendan's socks, braces etc, the event was such a success that there is talk of running a whole series of "Brendan's Last Concerts" next summer. We're on to a winner. And just in case Brendan doesn't want to go through his Frank Sinatra bit, we're already scouring the land for people to say farewell to. (They're closing down Kwik-Save up the road, but sadly we can't get our kettle drums past the check-outs.)
I was thinking about all this last week when we were playing a load of modern garbage at one of our music festivals. There weren't many in the audience. I don't know if we did the piece justice. Just after we'd started rehearsing it, a man with a road drill obligingly drilled through electric cables across the road, and paralysed the whole town. Then, on the way to the concert the next day, the orchestra coaches got stuck in the mother of all traffic jams, curtailing our final rehearsal. But I don't suppose that the real reason for the lack of audience was news from Mystic Meg that our rendition might be anything less than perfectly rehearsed. We might have been playing it brilliantly, for all they (and we) knew. Indeed, my desk partner and I were going great guns, sawing away with the utmost confidence - until, half-way down a page, I realised that I'd turned over two pages at once, and we were some 50 bars ahead of everyone else. Such an achievement alone deserved a full house. But it was not to be.
What had put people off were those two dreaded words "First Performance". Not only do they generally imply an assault on the ear-drums, but the word "First" necessarily suggests that yet more performances may be lurking round the corner. The concert's promoters had been guilty of perpetrating a basic marketing error. What they should have promised was "Last Performance" - which is what it almost certainly was - or even "Farewell Gala Performance". That would have been guaranteed to fill the audience's mind with insatiable curiosity, and the box-office coffers with dosh. What's more, the audience would have quite happily sat through the thing, cosily and smugly confident that they would never have to endure the racket again.
Brendan has served the music profession with distinction and integrity throughout a long career - which is more than can be said of most of those in charge of Covent Garden - and he fully deserved all the speeches, tributes and presentations, the standing ovation, the flowers, the special reception and party. So, now that he has gone, who is leading the orchestra this week?
Well, Brendan, actually. I don't think anyone's yet thought of advertising the concert as "Brendan O'Brien's inaugural concert as guest leader" - "inaugural" does not have quite the same magnetic attraction as "Farewell", so it wouldn't make any difference at the box-office. But the next occasion he is with us, in a few weeks' time, could perhps be billed as his "Positively Farewell Concert", for I believe it will be. He has asked for a pair of slippers for his birthdayn IP

Hope everyone had a fabulous weekend, I am still in recovery mode from my trip to Atlantic City at the moment but it's time for this weeks Sunday Social so the show must go on!
This weeks questions, appropriately, revolve around travel.
Best trip you've ever been on: This is a difficult one for me since I have been on so many wonderful vacations but I think I would have to say my trip to Vegas last year. Eights of the girls from my pledge class booked a trip to Vegas in January, right before we went back to school. It was, honestly, the most fun four days of my life! I was a little hesitant prior to the trip, I didn't think Vegas was necessarily my scene but it was amazing! We decided this weekend that we're going back next year! If you haven't been, you simply must go.
My very close second choice would be my vacation to Montego Bay, Jamaica with the Alpha Chi girls for our senior year spring break trip. It was absolutely gorgeous and we had so much fun!
Best idea for a girls weekend trip: I would have to say something like this past weekend. I think a trip to the beach is the perfect setting to just catch up with friends, just relax and have some wine. (Sidenote: I tried the skinny girl wine for the first time this weekend. I'm obsessed with her mixed drinks- have had every flavor and was dying to try the wine. I definitely recommend it!)
Best trip on the cheap: You might think I'm crazy for saying this, but New York. Transportation there is really reasonable (I take the bus all the time) and if you book in advance the rates are really great. Once you're there, it's obviously an expensive city, but there are so many things to do there that don't cost a thing! The main expenses revolve around food and where to stay.
Place you most want to visit: I'm dying to visit Europe! I want to go to Paris, London and all over Italy. It sounds like pure heaven!
Vacation necessities: For me, the most vital thing is a good book. While traveling, there is a lot of down time, so something to entertain you is key. I also could not live without my ipod while taking a trip. And, of course, comfortable shoes!

In an effort to rein in rising health care costs, health plans are using physician cost profiles as the basis for tiered networks that encourage patients to visit low-cost physicians. There are concerns that physician cost profiles are often unreliable and some have argued that physician groups should be profiled instead. Using data from Massachusetts, we address this debate empirically. While we find that physician group profiles are more reliable, the group profile is not a good predictor of individual physician performance within the group. Better methods for cost profiling providers are needed.
To rein in rising healthcare costs, health care purchasers are pursuing a number of consumer-directed policy applications that depend on individual physician cost profiles. Cost profiles, in conjunction with quality profiles, are publicly reported to encourage patients to choose high-value (i.e. low cost and high quality) physicians.[1] Other consumer-directed initiatives include selective networks and tiered networks.[2, 3] In a selective network, a patient can be reimbursed for care only when they visit a high-value physician. In a tiered network, patients pay a lower co-payment when they visit a high-value physician. All of these consumer-directed policy interventions encourage patients to visit low-cost physicians.
Another approach to decreasing costs is to focus policies directly on the providers. More than half of HMOs in the United States, representing more than 80% of persons enrolled, use pay-for-performance in their provider contracts.[4] While pay-for-performance typically focuses on quality, newer programs are increasingly incorporating cost or efficiency measures.[4, 5]
Both types of policy interventions, consumer-directed and provider-directed, typically use individual physician cost profiles. Individual physicians are seen as the primary driver of costs, because they order the diagnostic tests and treatments patients receive.[6] Also, patients are most concerned with selecting individual physicians rather than hospitals or physician networks.[7] Some physicians and profiling organizations have argued against this focus on the individual physician. They argue that the focus should instead be on physician groups, partly because the measurement of physician group costs will be based on larger sample sizes and therefore will be more reliable.[7, 8]
Along with validity, reliability is a key test of the performance of a measurement system.[9-13] Reliability is a measurement of signal-to-noise, and in cost profiling applications it indicates the degree to which the performance of one provider can be distinguished from that of another. If reliability is low, then there is a greater risk that a provider will be misclassified as average-cost when he or she is actually low-cost. In previous work we have demonstrated that the majority of physician cost profiles do not meet minimum levels of reliability, and this results in considerable misclassification (e.g. average-cost physician being misclassified as low-cost).[14] This finding is echoed in a recent paper by Nywiede and colleagues where they found the vast majority of individual physicians and small practices did not have sufficient sample size to detect differences in costs.[15] To our knowledge, no one has estimated the reliability of physician group cost profiles.
In this study we address the ongoing policy debate of whether one should profile individual physicians vs. physician groups. Using Massachusetts data we compare the sample size and reliability of cost profiles at the physician and physician group level. We quantify the fraction of physicians not in a group and the fraction of care provided by these solo physicians. Lastly, we address the degree to which a patient can effectively use physician group cost profiles when choosing an individual physician.
In creating physician and group cost profiles, our goal was to replicate methods commonly used by individual health plans. Our data sources, physician sample, and method for creating individual physician cost profiles have been described in previous publications.[16] A concise overview is provided below.
We constructed an aggregated commercial claims data set that included all professional, facility, ancillary, and pharmacy claims from four health plans in Massachusetts for 2004-2005. We analyzed all claims for the 1.13 million enrollees between the ages of 18 and 65 who were continuously enrolled for the two years.
Our study population included Massachusetts physicians who submitted at least one claim to one or more of the four participating health plans and were in a non-pediatric, non-geriatric specialty with direct patient contact (e.g., excluding radiologists, pathologists). We used a unique physician identifier previously created by Massachusetts Health Quality Partners (MHQP) to link data from the four health plans at the physician level.[17]
We used MHQP's designations of physician groups. MHQP defines a physician group as a distinct set of physicians that together contract with health plans and share resources and leadership (e.g. medical director). MHQP staff assigned each physician to a group based on an algorithm that used variables in the health plan enrollment files such as Medicare Unique Physician Identification Number (UPIN). Physicians not allocated to a group by the algorithm were assigned by manual inspection. Physician group leaders reviewed and offered corrections to their group's roster of physicians. MHQP also assigns physicians to practice sites. We conducted separate analyses at the practice level. These are not included in the paper as cost profiling at the practice site appeared to provide little advantage over profiling individual physicians or physician groups.
A minority of physicians (n=1241, 9.8% of sample), mostly specialists, were members of more than one group. With the data available to us, we could not determine the group in which these physicians delivered specific services. We therefore randomly assigned these physicians (and all the episodes assigned to them) to a single group. In a sensitivity analysis we reanalyzed our results deleting these physicians from our analysis. The results of this sensitivity analysis were substantively the same.
We use the term "provider" generically to refer to a physician or group. Our methodology for creating cost profiles has been described in more detail in previous publications.[16] In brief, the method consisted of the following steps:
To put providers into average or low-cost categories, we used a t-test to determine whether a provider's composite cost profile score was statistically better than the average score among their peers.[20] For physicians, the peer group was physicians within the same specialty. For groups, the peer group was all groups in the state.
We described the number of physicians and mix of specialty in the groups. We measured the reliability of both individual physician and physician provider group profiles using methodology described in our previous work.[14] Reliability in this context describes how confidently we can distinguish the performance of one provider from another. Conceptually, it is a ratio of signal to noise. The signal in this case is the proportion of the variability in measured performance that can be explained by real differences in performance. A reliability of zero implies that all the variability in a measure is attributable to measurement error. A reliability of one implies that all the variability is attributable to real differences in performance. Unfortunately, the use of very different methods to estimate the same underlying concept can be a source of some confusion. We use a common method in which reliability is characterized as a function of the components of a simple hierarchical model.[21]
In our data 12,615 physicians in 28 specialties were assigned 2.9 million episodes. Of the 12,615 physicians, 9,716 (77%) worked in one of the 185 groups in the state. Exhibit 1 shows the score distribution of both physicians and physician groups. The distribution of scores for physician groups is narrower (25th to 75th percentile 0.92-1.05) than the distribution for individual physicians (25th to 75th percentile 0.81-1.15).
There is significant heterogeneity in the composition and size of groups (Exhibit 2). Among the 185 physician groups, 22 (12%) are composed of 2-3 primary care physicians while 47 (25%) are composed of 50 or more physicians in multiple specialties. The largest three groups in the state have 910, 636, and 326 physicians, respectively (19% of the physicians in a group).
The median reliability of group cost profiles is 0.91 (IQR 0.78-0.96). In previous work we reported that the median reliability of individual physician cost profiles was 0.53 (IQR 0.21-0.79).[14] Groups with a larger number of physicians generally have higher reliability. For example, among groups of 2-3 physicians, the median reliability is 0.76 while among groups with more than 50 physicians it is 0.97 (Exhibit 3).
Of the 2.9 million assigned episodes, 2.0 million (70%) were assigned to individual physicians having cost profiles with reliability of 0.70 or above, a commonly used minimum reliability standard.[9, 10] Physician groups satisfying this reliability standard were assigned 2.5 million (86%) episodes.
We classified each group as either low-cost or average-cost. Based on their profile scores we also classified individual physicians within these groups as low-cost or average-cost. Among individual physicians in low-cost groups only 16% were classified as low-cost based on their own performance (Exhibit 4). Among individual physicians in average-cost groups, 8% were classified as low-cost based on their own performance. In Exhibit 5, we show the score distribution of the physicians who work in average-cost and low-cost groups respectively. There is significant heterogeneity in the cost profiles among both sets of physicians and considerable overlap in their distribution.
In an effort to decrease health care costs, there is growing interest in using physician cost profiles for policy applications such as tiered and selective networks, public reporting, and pay-for-performance incentives. There is an ongoing policy debate about whether cost measures should be applied at the individual physician or physician group level. Our results highlight some of the pros and cons of the two approaches. Profiling physician groups may be appealing because the cost profiles are more reliable—which means that we can confidently distinguish one group from another. On the other hand, if profiling were done only at the group level, a notable fraction of solo physicians would be excluded from profiling efforts. Further, there is considerable heterogeneity in what constitutes a group, and knowing the performance of a group does not predict the performance of individual physicians within the group.
Our results have different implications depending on the target of the different policies that use cost profiles. For provider-directed policies such as pay-for-performance incentives or provider feedback, our results support profiling groups instead of individual physicians. Compared to the cost profiles of individual physicians, group cost profiles have higher reliability. This is primarily driven by the larger number of patients assigned to a group and consistent with prior work that found practices with more than 50 physicians could effectively be profiled.[15] The higher reliability among physician groups means that we are more confident in our ability to distinguish one group from another. In the context of pay-for-performance incentives, this greater reliability means that a physician group is more likely to correctly receive (or not receive) an incentive payment.
However, the ability to accurately classify groups into cost performance tiers does not provide an adequate signal for consumer-directed policies where patients select an individual physician within a group. In a tiered plan physician groups would be placed into tiers based on their cost and quality profiles and patients would be given an incentive to choose care from a low-cost physician group. Within low-cost groups there is substantial heterogeneity in the relative costs of individual physicians. It is therefore unlikely that the individual physician within the low-cost group that cares for the patient will also be low-cost.
Our results also highlight the difficulty of defining a group. For these analyses we used the existing definitions of a physician group as determined by MHQP. MHQP's definition is logical and group leaders verified the roster of physicians within their groups. Nonetheless, there are concerns with face validity when comparing the relative costs of a 3 physician primary care group to a 910 physician multi-specialty group. This heterogeneity is the reality of how physicians are organized in Massachusetts and elsewhere in the United States. When debating the relative advantage of profiling physician groups or individual physicians, this heterogeneity must be kept in mind. Another logistical barrier to group profiling is that in Massachusetts, a quarter of the physicians are in solo-practice. When profiling at the group level, it is unclear how a health plan should treat these physicians. Within a tiered health plan, one option would be to assume that these physicians are low-cost, but this might be perceived as unfair by physicians in average cost groups because it would be easier for solo practice physicians to be included in high-performance networks. It would also decrease the potential cost savings from the health plan's perspective. Another option would be to assume that the solo physicians are average cost, but this might also be criticized as unfair by solo physicians who would be excluded from high-performance networks under such a policy.
There are numerous limitations to our analyses. Of note, our data come from Massachusetts. In other states, a larger fraction of physicians may work independently and profiling at the group or practice level may not be feasible. Also, it is less likely that a validated categorization of physicians exists outside of Massachusetts. Our analyses do not address of which level of the heath care system actually drives the cost variation, individual physicians or the groups in which they practice.[22] This is something we hope to address in future work.
Our research does not address other important aspects of cost profiling methodology. Other researchers have raised concerns about the validity of the claims data used to build the cost profiles[5] as well as the validity of the episode groupers used for cost profiles.[23] MedPAC found that in Miami overall patient costs are higher than average, but per episode costs are lower than average.[23] This is because overall patient costs are a product of the number of episodes and costs per episode. In Miami patients triggered a higher number of episodes possibly due to differences in physician billing patterns. More research is needed to address these validity concerns.
There is an ongoing policy debate on whether individual physicians or physician groups should be the focus of cost profiling. In previous work, we and others have raised concerns about the reliability of individual physician cost profiles. Though physician group profiles have the advantage of being more reliable, our findings highlight that they cannot be effectively used for consumer-directed policy applications as physician group profiles provide little useful information for patients. Together our findings from this work and previous research highlight the need for better methods for profiling providers (either physician or physician group) on their relative costs.

To-night the winds begin to rise
And roar from yonder dropping day:
The last red leaf is whirl'd away,
The rooks are blown about the skies;
The forest crack'd, the waters curl'd,
The cattle huddled on the lea;
And wildly dash'd on tower and tree
The sunbeam strikes along the world:
And but for fancies, which aver
That all thy motions gently pass
Athwart a plane of molten glass,
I scarce could brook the strain and stir
That makes the barren branches loud;
And but for fear it is not so,
The wild unrest that lives in woe
Would dote and pore on yonder cloud
That rises upward always higher,
And onward drags a labouring breast,
And topples round the dreary west,
A looming bastion fringed with fire.
Poems are below...
Provide your analysis, explanation, meaning, interpretation, and comments on the poem In Memoriam A. H. H.: 15. To-night the winds begin to rise here.

Leading Aircraftsman Mohisin Khan, 25, from Ipswich, Suffolk, absented himself from duty on the grounds of conscientious objection.
Mr Khan, an aircraftsman and medic, had been mobilised with others last year to return to the regular forces to supplement service personnel in the Iraq war.
The court was told he held a "genuine and deep belief" that the pending war was wrong and contrary to his religion. There had been interference with his right to conscientious objection.
But today Lord Justice Rix and Mr Justice Forbes, sitting in London, ruled there was no interference with his rights "by reason of the appellant's recall, arrest, prosecution or conviction".Reuse content

Snow dumps and skiing bumps
I'm a little ashamed to admit this but I only got two days of skiing in this April.
I spent a day at Crystal Mountain and another at White Pass. Below is a picture from what's left of one of my ski poles. Wish I had a good story to go with the snapped pole, but I just accidentally busted it while goofing off with some friends. Didn't even fall.
So just two days in April. Well, La Nina has made May the new April for skiers and boarders this year…
