I started buying this because I give my cats some wet food which is not nutritionally complete and I wanted to make sure they received enough taurine in their diet. They do also get complete dry food and other wet food so it's like extra "insurance" for them. I break up a tab with every feeding and put it in the supplemental food. One of my cats thinks it's a treat and comes running whenever I shake the bottle. Taurine is very important for cats cardiovascular health.
This tablet is soft and easy to break up and mix into their food. I like that the cats like it. This is priced well too.
My cat was diagnosed with a heart problem and needed to increase the Taurine chewable supplement. This product is breakable, and also you can crush it with your fingers over their food. He absolutely loves it. When I open the cupboard he's always ready, no chasing the cat around. Comparing the prices with other brands, this is the best, and worth every penny. Fast shipping too.
Recommended by cats everywhere!
P.S. My kitty is doing fine.

My boy...(141 Posts)
I was due on April 14th with our son, a little brother for our three year old daughter. Id had a difficult pregnancy and labour with our daughter (PET), and despite a few early bleeds, this pregnancy was low risk so I was given the go ahead for a midwife led delivery at the birth centre. Id had a couple of sweeps as my consultant was very keen for me not to go overdue. Id had a bit of a show, and then on Easter Sunday the contractions started. I timed them through church and Sunday lunch without anyone noticing, and then my mum realised what was happening. We decided to go home and get settled, put our daughter to bed and see what happened. The contractions were getting stronger and closer, and we decided to call my mum to come over, in case we needed to go in. We called the birth centre at about 9pm and they said to go in. We left mum at the house and headed in, and we called my friend whos a midwife and was going to be my second birth partner to meet us there.
When we got to the birth centre, the mw listened to the babys heartbeat, I was examined and was still only 3cm dilated. BP taken and was fine phew, and the midwife checked through all my notes and then broke the news that my latest set of blood results indicated my iron were too low and I would have to deliver at the main hospital as I my risk level was too high for the birth centre. I was devastated. Because I was still on 3cm, we headed home, thinking that if things picked up we would have to go to the hospital. When we got home, the mw called and said that she had checked the blood results on her system, and it was different than the ones in my book; I had been given the wrong results, so I was fine and could go back to the birth centre when the time was right.
Managed to get some sleep, as the contractions eased off about 3am. In the morning, mum left and we got back to normal. Js parents called round to see if we needed anything and they decided to take our daughter home with them to give us time to rest and in case things kicked off. We spent the day pottering round with contractions coming on and off throughout. We went to bed and J ran me a bath when the contractions picked up again. They were coming about every 5 mins apart, and were getting really strong, so we called the birth centre again, about 3:30-ish. They said to go in, so in we went. We explained what had happened the night before, and she started her obs. BP was higher than normal, and then she tried to check his heartbeat, but couldnt find it. She re-assured me that it didnt necessarily mean what we thought it meant, but said they would have to blue light us to the hospital. We were praying so hard as we waited for the ambulance. J was going to drive behind the ambulance, and I asked for the gas and air, partly so I could manage the pain of the contractions, partly so I could suspend my fears until we knew what was going on.
During the half hour journey to the hospital, I zoned in and out of the paramedic and mws conversation but spent most of the time praying everything would be ok. When we got to the delivery room, J and our friend E were waiting for us. They told me Id need to move onto the bed, and as I moved, I felt the babys head. Id gone to 10cm and the baby was crowning. E told me to open my eyes and focus on what she said, and calmed me down enough to concentrate on pushing. Two pushes later and I had delivered him. He was taken straight away for resus. For 15 mins we heard them try and give our son life, but I knew that it was no use. E had seen him and realised that he had probably gone a few hours before birth, and had warned us that he probably wouldnt make it. I remember saying at one point theyre going to stop soon, arent they? and she said they probably would. I very nearly asked them to stop, but couldnt quite bring myself to.
After 15 minutes, they stopped and one guy came over to tell us that our son hadnt made it. Then it was like something from a book or film. I heard a noise that sounded like an injured wild animal, and realised it was me making the noise.
Our son, Benedict John Peanut was born at 6am on Tuesday, April 10th.
Heartbreaking. I am so sorry.
Thinking of you today MrsY and sending you lots of hugs. Also, just another reminder, it is nothing you did sweetie, it was just one of those horribly cruel things that sadly happen to wonderful people xxx
Benedict will always be with you. I hope the water becomes still and less choppy as time passes.
You write so movingly and beautifully about your peanut, he knew only love and comfort. He was special.
Thinking of you xxxx
Thank you both very much.
Mias, it's certainly a 'life's not fair' moment.
Loss not 'list' sorry.
I am so so sorry for the list of your beautiful boy.
Your words have moved me to tears, I am thinking of you all xx
Mrs Y. I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I read this and cried my eyes out. I had my dd on the 15th of April, so when I was giving birth you had already lost your son. I'm so so sorry. Life is very cruel. My thoughts are with you.
Oh, yes, I recognise that feeling... it is just impossible, isn't it? Such a small request, you'd think it would be so easy to fulfil. x
My darling boy. I miss you so much. All I want to do is curl up and be with you.
We're on our holiday right now. Our lovely family holiday that we planned and booked with such excitement. It's lovely, but we should have our boy with us, he should be splashing in the pool and experiencing this happy time with us. I feel so guilty for carrying on and doing all the things that we should be doing with him, without him.
B, I love you so very much. I miss you always and will come and see you soon. xxxx
Thanks both.
It's amazing how much the tone of my posts change when I read back. I can definately tell how high the water level was each time I posted.
mrsY I also see grief like water... for me, it comes in waves. Sometimes they are huge, and I go under, and they scare me with their force. Then they subside, and become more gentle, and I can bob along on the top. Sometimes I can feel the sun on my face. Sometimes the salt hurts my eyes. Below, the water always moves under me, taking me somewhere, a force of nature stronger than me. Like you, I look forward to arriving on a far shore where I know I will be with Mia again.
I also worried for a while that Mia was scared without me. But I kept on receiving little messages which told me she is still with us, in ways I cannot understand, but ways I now simply accept. In the same way, Benedict is with you, in the beauty of nature, in the song of the birds, in the smiles of his siblings. He will always be there, and he is a part of you. That, I can promise you.
You have a heavy heart my love. What a lot you are carrying.
Try to share your load where you can, your husband loves you and will want to share your load. Perhaps if you carry some of his grief and he some of yours, somehow the load will feel lighter.
I don't believe Benedict is scared you know. I think he is actually peaceful, resting and waiting. Bathed in golden light and warm breezes and unaware of time or space. You will have eternity with him, when the time is right. Until then keep a watch out for the golden light and warm breezes. Little reminders that eternity awaits you, when the time is right.
Now, you are needed here. You have some more work to do with your dd and your husband and your family. This is only a little time in comparison to eternity. Hang on and keep treading water. You will get stonger at it and the golden light and warm breezes will warm the water.
I hope you don't think I'm bonkers. The sunset shone in my window all evening and it made gold ripples on my wall. It is warm here today and the breeze has an almost tropical heat and softness to it. It has been a beautiful evening and I thought often of you and our other dear one who shared pain recently. xxx
Grief is a lake. Sometimes it is choppy and sometimes it is calm. But the water is deep and the water is cold. When you're thrown in, you are so shocked you don't feel the water, but you allow yourself to be taken by the current. You can try and tread water, but you'll never stay in once place for long. The water is so deep that you can't keep your head above water level. You are drowning. Then, you realise that if you stand on tip-toes, you can just stretch tall enough to breathe. It's hard and it's tiring, but you have to do it. You just keep praying that you're strong enough to keep standing on your tip-toes.
Darling Benedict. It's so hard to breathe without you. I recently read that every day I live is a day closer to living with you for eternity. Sometimes I feel so tempted to speed things up and be with you now. You should be with your mummy, you must be so scared. But my husband has lost his son, my mum has lost her grandson and my daughter has lost her brother, all of which I am responsible for. I can't be responsible for more loss and sadness. I hope that until I join you and hold you in my arms, you are happy and safe with our friends and family in heaven. I love you so much.
Oh my darling, I'm having such a tough day. I miss you so much, it physically hurts. We spent the weekend seeing friends, and I spent the whole time thinking of you. I wish you could be here so I could show you off and make all the other mummies jealous.
Your big sister was talking about you again, she calls you her 'invisible brother'. I hope that means you have been with her and she can feel your presence.
I love you so much, I can't wait until I can see you again - we'll spend eternity together. x
Hello my darling boy, missing you as always.
Poor daddy - it's Father's Day tomorrow and he will be missing you more than usual. I think he'll come and see you after he finishes work. Be with him and help him to get through the day. M has signed the Father's Day card from both of you.
Love you always. Love, like starlight, never dies. Mummy xxx
Goodness, I'm so sorry MrsY
Offering prayers for you all and for your beautiful Benedict.x
Be kind to yourself. Lots of love.xx
Thinking of you J and M today Mrs Y (((hugs))) xxx
Just wanted you to know I am thinking about you all. Sending you as much love and strength as I can xx
Thanks so much, rosie. I really hang on to the kind words, prayers and thoughts of others to give me strength. xxx
Mrsy, so very heartbroken for you, j and m - it's at times like last weekend, or christmas or any high day and holiday not to mention any ordinary day that you must feel his loss most of all.
I have prayed for you all each day and kept you in my thoughts and I pray most of all that the coming months will be kinder to you and the pain will lessen. I know that probably seems unlikely but I really hope this happens for you all and that it gets a little easier to take pleasure in things and smile again.
There are only so many times someone can say sorry but there are many of us who really really are and wish this didn't ever happen to any mummy and daddy I really want you to know that you are always in my thoughts and prayers and I'm wishing you strength for the coming months and years - I am glad you have a place to be near Benedict but so very sad he can't be with you in person.
I will continue to pray for you yours - just want you to know that you are in my and my family's thoughts xxx
My darling boy, I miss you so much this weekend. Everywhere I look people are celebrating and enjoying the four day weekend. I wish you were here with us, and that I could take advantage of meeting up with family and friends to introduce you to everyone and show you off.
I wish I could see you and hold you in my arms, but I'll try and make do with holding you in my heart. I love you, always. Mummy. x
oh sweetheart, thinking of you tonight. Of course it will be so very hard for you but you can do it. There is no right or wrong way, you must just say or do what you feel. Benedict will never be forgotten. Will be thinking of you and J and hoping that you get the support you both need there. If you need or want to talk afterwards you can ring me at any time, day or night. xxx

Sometimes, the displayed error will not appear to be correct. The error parser will point you to a line of code which is correct, yet it will tell you that some strange error exists at that point.
In this case, the problem usually lies beneath that point in the code. Usually the source of the error is actually a missing parenthesis, bracket, curly brace, etc. Usually the error message says that it encountered a string where it expected code.
This only applies to .sqf syntax scripts, not .sqs scripts.
for "_i" from 0 to 1 do { _str = format["mystring"; };
In this example, the error will be shown to originate just to the left of the word "do". However, the error is actually caused by a line in the code beneath the do statement. (Such an error would be difficult to spot if it were many more lines down in the code.)

Hello everyone! Are you ready for Halloweenie-week?! This always seems to be the BUSIEST week of October for us with trunk or treat, Halloween, parent-teacher conferences, Scholastic book fair (and volunteering!), Halloween classroom parties (and all the stuff I need to prep for those!) and the kids always have a couple of days off of school. Last weekend we went to the pumpkin patch after church and we had so much fun! We went to a smaller pumpkin patch closer to home, because we knew all of the places would be PACKED since it is so close to Halloween. Here is our family pumpkin patch pic for 2014! Not bad!
Me and my cutie-pa-tooties! It seems now that the kids are wearing uniforms at school, I don't spend as much money on regular clothes for them. I didn't even have cute fall outfits for them! I thought about going to ON and buying them some cute fall colored shirts, but I ran out of time. BUT, it worked out, because it was a little cool that day and they wore their jackets anyway! Who needs super cute pumpkin patch outfits, right?! ;) They are just cute on their own! And, little Miss Autumn and her sunglasses on her head... she likes to wear them on her head, not on her EYES. lol!
These two have been growing up a storm... I had to buy ALL new pants for them and now I think Nathan needs an even bigger size pants (darn it!). And, it seems every 6 months they both need all new shoes! Nathan finally went to laces for his shoes... I told him it was time he stopped wearing velcro! Geesh! ;) They are standing in front of the HUGE pumpkins they picked out.
Me and the Bri guy! Nathan took this and we sort of lucked out!
I love this kissy picture of us and how the pumpkins are blurred in the background... I think Nathan took this one, too... but, it could have been Autumn.
We went to Stuckmeyers to select our pumpkins. They had all of these gorgeous mums by the market. Oh, do I love me some huge blooming mums!
The kids are crazy about gourds, especially Nathan. We always have to buy some for them.
These are the gourds Nathan decided to purchase (with our money of course).
Getting my work out on...
Nathan pumpkin surfing
Sorry for the photo overload, I kind of got a lot of cute pics of the kids somehow... :)
This one was too cute of Nathan. See those jeans I got at Gap Outlet 3 weeks ago? They're too short on him now! Stop growing!!! ;)
We also checked out the farm, they had a HUUUGE turkey there.
Autumn also noticed these eggs :)
Autumn pushing Nathan and another boy on the tire swing. Shouldn't they be pushing her? ;)
The last thing we did before leaving was let the kids go on this little tractor pull ride.
Its a neat little ride, except only for the kids... I think a grown up can ride in the back if he has a really small child. I can remember Nathan riding on this when he was a baby! Man are these years going by too fast...
Autumn bought a smaller pumpkin to paint, but we decided to try our hand at attempting our first melted crayon pumpkin. It was a lot of fun and it turned out nicely. Just take the paper wrapping off of 20 or so crayons and break them in half. It seems the shorter crayons work better then if you use a whole crayon. Then hot glue all of the crayons on the pumpkin around the stem. Use a hot hair blow dryer to melt the crayons on the hottest setting. Put the hair dryer on the lowest blow setting, otherwise the wax will blow EVERYWHERE (yeah, we found that out by trial and error). This was a lot of fun!
Are you ready for the meal plan for this week?
Menu Plan for Week of October 26, 2014:
Sunday - Order InI rarely cook on Sunday evenings and I won't be cooking on this one. We will probably order in 54th Street soup and salad combo or Chinese... something like that :)
Monday - Fall Picnic!
I always talk about having a picnic with the family, but we never do! Well, next Monday I am planning a picnic for us... it may be in our backyard, it may be at a park or if the weather is cruddy, it could even be on a blanket on the floor of our home! I plan to pack a bag full of picnic essentials such as sandwiches, chips, fruit and freshly baked brownies! I can't wait! And better yet... I am going to surprise the kids with it! Then, later that night we plan to carve some pumpkins!
Tuesday - Simple Crock Pot Potato Soup with Green Salad, recipe HERE
I have been wanting to try this easy crock pot potato soup for awhile that substitutes cut up potatoes for hash browns.
Wednesday - Tacos
We have a really busy night with parent/teacher conferences and then dance for Autumn, so I think tacos will be pretty easy to whip up for dinner.

Thursday - Stuffed Shells with Green Salad
Friday - Papa Murphy's Halloween Pizza!
Halloween is always such a hectic night, so we are going to pick up a take and bake pizza from Papa Murphy's. They always do a pumpkin pizza for Halloween, so we'll get that.
Saturday - Easy Three Ingredient Cinnamon Rolls with Fruit Salad, recipe HERE
My son LOVES cinnamon rolls and this one is ALMOST as good as the homemade ones Brian makes. ;)

On my network i have 2 serperate domains. They both use different logins for administrator access. How would i setup an additional account that would be able to check the other domain? or should i have spice works setup independently on each domain?
Thank You!

Thank you for the quick response. What do i do if they both accounts will be using the same IP range? One takes over the other if i set the same IP Range. Both Domains operate within the same range.

It should try both accounts, if not then you can manually set the account to use on unknowns in the unkown folder
Jun 26, 2008 at 11:13 UTC
awesome thanks it worked when i manually set thru the unknown category!
Jun 26, 2008 at 11:18 UTC
Ok you have peaked my curiosity, why are you running two domains on the same subnet?
Jun 26, 2008 at 2:06 UTC
Well anyway, I feel sorry for your situation, The idea of the scenario where 2 domains not in the same forest existing on the same subnet is just going to give me nightmares tonight ;) I hope to all that is noodly that im not the one who is going to have to clean up that network!
Jun 27, 2008 at 10:28 UTC
The original person here setup two domains in one forest on the same subnet... thats jsut the start, then they setup two primary domain controllers and a global catalog and 2 other servers with the wrong FSMO roles. Between DNS erros and domain authentication its always fun figuring out what happend. I have recently setup a primary and secondary controller and migrated everything the correct way and cleaned up active directory with the proper OUs and such and set the proper FSMO roles and setup a new global catalog. Things have been working until this week since spiceworks was installed the exchange server crashes all the time.
Jun 27, 2008 at 10:31 UTC
I whole-heartedly agree that more than one domain in a subnet is akin to sticking a fork in an electrical socket.

Alistair Overeem
September 7, 2011 by staff
Alistair Overeem, It could have been one of the ads the biggest fight in UFC history when the news broke that former heavyweight champion Alistair Overeem Strikeforce face former heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar UFC 30, December at the UFC 141.
Arrival Overeem in the UFC is not unexpected, but still a large firm like K-1 Grand Prix champion finally makes his debut in the Octagon.
Originally Strikeforce Overeem was reduced due to contractual problems between its management in the glory of the Golden Team and Heads of Zuffa. Cooler heads ultimately prevailed and, according to Golden Glory Bas Boon leader, once they started the negotiations of the agreement drawn up without much trouble.
"It took patience and negotiation in good faith. I must admit that was softer than I expected," Boon told MMAWeekly.com on Tuesday. "In Golden Glory Alistair Overeem very happy and has finally got his chance to become the UFC champion."
Now that all the paperwork is signed and Overeem is officially a UFC fighter the next issue at hand becomes the preparation for his fight with Lesnar later this year.
The fight will be a five round fight with a main event title shot at the UFC heavyweight on the line. Expectations are high for what is already fighting could mean for the heavyweight division, and Boon was expected that even greater things.
"Alistair Overeem against Brock Lesnar and fireworks will be the best fight of PPV in UFC history," he predicted.
The fight between Lesnar Overeem and be a great fight, no doubt, but former Strikeforce champion has said in interviews that he was offered actually a shot at the UFC heavyweight title on the first day, but he would not delay its debut and chose to fight Lesnar instead.
The move could be risky, but long Overeem coach Martijn de Jong, Golden Glory team says it is only the first step before he claims the UFC heavyweight title as his own.
"Alistair fight anyone on any day. We were not disappointed at all that we did not have a title fight right away," said de Jong. "When the time is right, he will get the title fight and he will take that belt. You may call the collector belt."
If Overeem is able to win the heavyweight title in UFC gold add that to your current stable or that includes the K-1 Grand Prix title Strikeforce heavyweight and heavyweight belts dream.
To prepare for Lesnar, Overeem is putting his training camp and will travel to Holland home soon to begin construction. Overeem had mentioned training in Los Angeles, and his manager revealed Bas Boon MMAWeekly.com that plans are in place for gold glory to house a team of California.
"We are opening a field of golden glory in California," he said.
De Jong says he does not really matter where trains Overeem least, ensure that you have the best coaches and training partners need to be ready for his fight with Lesnar.
"Alistair will be training with all the guys in the glory of the gold team with some potential flight heavyweight fighters in our camp as well," said de Jong. "We set up camp anywhere in the world: Netherlands, Thailand, or the U.S. We will discuss this with the team as soon as you return to Holland."
The addition of heavyweight fighters to answer some of the issues to deal with fighting Lesnar great pedigree as a former NCAA champion Overeem.
But his coach believes that Overeem already has the skills to beat Lesnar at their own game, and if he thinks will be good for the Dutch demolition machine on the ground, has another thing coming.
"Alistair is a very well rounded fighter. Not only is a good striker, but also has a great presentation and fighting game. He was the former ADCC champion of Europe. Besides, I cannot even remember when it was taken in one of fights? "De Jong said.
"However, we will have a game plan ready for Brock and I personally I can say that this will be a great fight; 2011 will come with a bang"
Overeem will soon travel home and start preparing for Brock Lesnar and UFC debut to close the year at UFC 141 on Dec. 30 in Las Vegas.

Not every show of force is meant for violence...
Chapter 3: The Great Forest
How easy it would have been to kill him in his sleep. He rested too easily, slept with no notice of his world. And for all the opportunity, she couldn't touch him, and she hated him and herself for that. She should have been prepared for a spell, she learned how to counteract them, but she had ignored the possibility of a human's capability in them.
Now she couldn't have any ill intent to this man, no matter how much she wanted to act on it. Instead, she was compelled to protect him and watch over him. She hated them all for the ultimate insult to her honor, mercy.
"Master," a faint whisper in the dark filled the void like an echo.
Faces appeared, faces he had never seen before. A hawk-nosed man mumbling about his luck and a group of marauders terrorizing a village. Standing ahead of them was a man, a daunting figure as he drew a sword and decapitated the village leader for speaking against him.
Like mist blown away by wind, the faces changed. A soft voice yelled in the distance, "No!"
Pain and blood flew as Tiros looked on helplessly. He picked her up, begging her to stay awake to stay with him. He begged her not to leave him, only to see it was Melasa.
A hard shake woke him and the blue eyes of the half-witch looked down on him. Melasa stood by him, as he grouchily responded "What?"
"Master, you said we would leave at sunrise, we must pack and prepare if that is the case."
Rubbing his eyes, "You woke me up in the dark so we could leave on time?" He grunted as his mind and body woke up and he tried to forget the dream, "Okay, new rule. If I say first light, assume I mean after that."
"Very well, then, master. When do you wish to head out?" She had a look of annoyance and contempt as she spoke. She clearly was not anymore happy with the situation than he was.
"Ugh, might as well go now. There's no way I'm going back to sleep now."
She crooked her head slightly as if curious. Melasa seemed to treat anything he said as alien, like they were new words. She didn't joke or make metaphors, she spoke literally and with intent.
He followed her out of the room and into the main room of the cottage, he saw that she had her pack, what little it was, ready. She must have eaten, as she prepared only a meal for him.
"When did you get up?"
"Two hours ago."
Tiros balked at that, "You must have slept only four hours!"
She was unfazed by his comment and continued on as she tugged at the sleeve of her tight red and white outfit.
Feeling the immense discomfort, he decided anything would be better than awkward silence, "Where did you come from, Melasa?"
"I was born in a small village far south of here. I have been moving on since then."
"How come you never settled down?"
"I'm not welcome," the answer was curt as if the context was clear.
Tiros was wrong, the awkward silence was better than talking. Melasa must have not been very good at hiding who she was, given her cold attitude. Anyone could feel that she was different. He wondered if she ever felt at home anywhere.
Tiros hadn't had a true home for a while, but he knew that he had family across the ocean that would always be there for him. He had the distinct impression that Melasa had nothing but the clothes on her back and a sword that seemed to be missing. That made him think about the event from last night.
"Hey, where did your sword go?"Melasa held her left palm out wide and put her fist to it, pulling her arm away and drawing out the lightning shaped sword. Tiros eyes shook with awe, "How did you do that?"
"With the right knowledge of magic, one can do anything," as quickly as she had drawn the weapon, she thrust it back into her palm. Tiros gave a start as he thought she was about to stab her own hand but saw the sword disappear.
As Tiros finished his small breakfast, he got ready for the journey south. He left money for the innkeeper nice enough to lend them the cottage and took his staff, "Okay, time to go."
Tiros and Melasa walked to the market, steeds would be preferred since they were traveling far. Tiros observed the temperament of several stocks of Ostrich Horses, they all seemed to be well rounded and reliable.
While haggling with a breeder for two, he noticed Melasa wandering through the market stands, looking on things with her cold blue eyes. It seemed as if she hadn't been to a market in years. And despite that cold exterior, the cool wind catching her fiery hair made a much better picture than most girls who did everything to smile. There was depth in those eyes. A nice necklace caught her eye at one of the stands where it had a red crystal embedded.
"The red ruby would go perfectly with your hair," a kind woman approached when she noticed Melasa stayed there a moment longer than elsewhere. The woman smiled warmly and welcoming, but it seemed to have the opposite effect on the redhead.
"My apologies, I didn't mean to stare." Melasa walked away as if the woman had tried to ward her off. The kind old lady looked on in confusion and so did Tiros. The woman had complimented Melasa, and she took it as an insult, a shove to get away.
Tiros looked back at the breeder, "Fine." he dropped several gold coins into the man's grubby hands as he took the reins to the two riding beasts. Before calling the strolling half-witch, he walked to the vendor and picked up the necklace, "How much?"
"One gold piece. Its a real ruby."
He took a coin out of his cloak and flipped it to her, the woman caught it and nodded as he placed the ruby in his cloak.
The two strolled through the road at a casual pace. They had ridden for three days and were now just moments away. They were along the edge of the Great Forest, a massive area covered in green with trees that stood taller than any animal in this world.
Following the path, they turned a corner to see a walled village. The gate opened as a watcher noticed their arrival.
Cheering ensued as they entered. Their red signified they were foreigners and so the villagers must have assumed he was the Avatar.
"Welcome to our humble home," an elderly man lifted his hands in greeting, "we are honored with your presence here, Avatar." The man bowed low and soon the crowd joined him.
After they rose, Tiros stepped off his ostrich horse, as did Melasa. Formally introducing himself, "I am Avatar Tiros, this is Melasa. We are honored to meet you. What is the situation here?"
The people took a much more serious look. "We are being plagued by a spirit. He has been attacking us when we enter the forest. Most of our people have been able to escape, but six have not. We need the help of a bridge between our worlds, we need the Avatar."
"What is happening specifically?"
Tiros and Melasa listened closely to the details of the horror that had befallen the people. One thing was clear to them, "So if you take the northwest pass, you are attacked? Can't you go around?"
"We have tried, but our village lives off of the work we do in the forest, and it is that way."
Melasa spoke, "Master, if we were to head that way, we are likely to encounter the same trouble as the others, it would give us an edge if the Spirit is unaware of our status."
The village leaders who sat in the building looked on skeptically, "No offense, little lady, but I think that only the Avatar alone can handle this."
She gave them a dark look as her blue eyes narrowed. Her response was chilling, "I am not completely human, oaf. So don't make judgements about what you don't understand. My kind can travel to and interact with the Spirit World if we choose."
The villagers looked on shocked. Her statements had taken them aback. Some correctly assumed her race, but it still seemed unbelievable. Tiros knew this would be trouble if he let Melasa keep talking, "I will go and try to settle this peacefully. If that fails, I will do what is necessary."
The villagers accepted the confident Avatar's answer. After exiting the room, he looked back at his companion, "Are you insane?"
"You can't tell people that they are simpletons."
"It is the truth, master. I can't change it, there is no point in lying," Obviously, she didn't agree and didn't feel the need to justify herself.
"Argh, my goodness, you're going to piss off someone powerful and with a bad attitude at this rate."
"I am only looking out for you, master." Tiros felt that the words were sarcastic but wasn't sure.
"Well, stop worrying so damn much, I can take care of myself! And will you stop it with the 'master' crap!?"
Melasa looked away coldly, as if trying to ignore him, but something told him that she had been hurt by the comment. For all the life she may have lived, it was as if she had little to no human interaction since she was a child. She said things a parent would have taught her not to say and bottled everything up behind a cold face.
"I'm sorry, Melasa, you just got on my nerves. Everything is not so black and white as you make it out to be. Just try and be a little more considerate to people and to what you say."
Tiros thought he saw a tiny smile, but when he blinked, her face had resumed its normal statuesque feature. She answered coldly, "Yes, master."
Tiros walked through the forest wondering just how big it was. The Great Forest was well known in the north and was seen as a beautiful place by the Air Nomads. The monks traded with the villagers for materials and food they could not get in their mountains.
Melasa was close behind, intent on observing her environment. Tiros appreciated the beauty around him, but he had the feeling that Melasa could care less. Where he saw a tree, she saw a hiding place. A broken branch was a trap. She viewed things in such dire ways that he wondered how she could live like that, but then again, she was a half-witch. A child of a species slated for extinction by force, could she afford to enjoy herself?
"Melasa, what do you like to do?"
"What do you mean, master?"
"What hobbies do you have? Do you do anything with your free time?"
"No," she answered bluntly, "I practice my skills and powers in order to ensure the limit of my skill is high."
"Come on, you have to do something for fun?"
The half-witch never answered as she looked north with a closed hand reaching for her palm. He soon felt the cause for her reaction as the ground shook, how did she feel that so quickly?
A great falling of trees and intimidating cacophony sounded as it neared. If they ran now, they could avoid the beast, but they were here to resolve this. Tiros held his ground, as did Melasa. His muscles tensed while his red-haired companion stood like a war ready statue.
A great gnashing of trees took their vision temporarily and the target of their mission revealed itself. A great beast with skin both black and white in changing shades stood before them. It was immense, having massive arms and legs that were as thick as tree trunks. There were also a pair of smaller arms that were still as large as they were.
An ugly head roared at them as the beast sped forward. It seemed as if light bent around it and sped forward as if appearing somewhere only seconds after it was somewhere else. It gave another fiery roar and a blue light exploded from its maw, making a great wreck of the trees before it as it reached them.
Melasa began drawing her mythic weapon. A sheen of light reflected from the shaded area and note of steel escaped, making the beast stop in its tracks and look at the woman in what Tiros assumed was shock.
A growl of teeth and a musky smell emerged as the monster looked on Melasa warily, preparing to strike.
"No!" Melasa looked at him with a sharp turn, even the beast turned its attention to him. "We're here to find a peaceful solution, not go monster slaying."
The creature snarled at the last remark while Melasa grunted. She reluctantly place the blade back into the void she hid it. The creature eased upon seeing the weapon gone.
"I am Avatar Tiros, the bridge between the Spirits and mankind, please help me understand what is wrong."
The creature just stood there for a moment before it relaxed and with a small hand, pointed ahead to the path.
"Yeah, we know. Anytime someone heads that way they disappear, why are you taking them?"
A growl of insult escaped its fierce maw. It turned around and walked off, slowly. Tiros looked to Melasa, "Are we supposed to follow it?"
She shrugged, "How would I know, I never talked to a Spirit before."
The creature stopped, grunted and kept walking. Melasa looked at Tiros, he shrugged and started following the black and white spirit. Melasa groaned, "hmph", she then followed after them.
The forest got darker as the daylight faded and the canopy above thickened above. Tiros muttered at the spirit, "How much longer are we going to be walking?"
A light growl came from the beast as they kept walking. Finally it stopped before a shrine, Tiros now saw what the creature had been heading for, its home. It was a single totem statue made from a great tree. On top of it sat the likeness of a- bear?
Tiros had seen many kinds of bears; platypus-bears, skunk-bears, but had rarely seen a pure bear. Melasa stood beside her as she looked at the totem, "Its a physical manifestation of this Spirit's existence."
"I thought you didn't know anything about Spirits?"
She gave him a look, "I said I never met one, that doesn't mean I am ignorant!"
"Okay, okay!" He raised his hands admitting defeat. He returned his attention back to the totem, "It says Bei Bai, is that your name?"
An affirmative grunt came and the beast was no longer a monster but rather a cute, albeit oversized, panda bear. The creature walked to the totem and disappeared before their eyes. Stalks of bamboo appeared behind it and a mist emerged.
"Hey! Where are you going?"
The large Panda's head emerged from the bamboo and then receded. Melasa stated plainly, "It would seem he wants us to follow him."
"Unbelievable, you would think Spirits could at least speak to us in a language we understand."
"Perhaps we should learn their language, master?"
"I'm happy to learn if they are willing to teach," he sighed and walked forward into the bamboo stalks. "Here goes nothing."
Melasa followed silently, ready for anything, hands close together.
Tiros ran into a tangles of plants, pushing with all his strength to make it through. "You'd think he'd at least make it easy for people to get through this mess. I can't see even five feet ahead."
"Its clear that the Spirits like their privacy, Master. Perhaps they have something to hide."
When they made it through the mess of bamboo stalks, they were in a place they were not expecting. Tiros foot landed in a mess of a puddle as hit boot plunged into the water. He tried to step out but realized that the entire area was a swamp. Ahead, the Panda kept walking.
Tiros looked at the mist covered world, it was strange. It felt off, but yet it felt familiar. A fly smacked into his face with a sting as its buzzing was heard by his ears too late. He smacked his face in the hope that he killed it.
Obviously the Spirit World had pests too. More came after him and circled him. After several poor attempts to swipe them away, he turned his hand to send a spiral of air to keep them away. His hand made the motions, but nothing came of it. He punched forward, expecting a fire and nothing happened. He did it again, looking on in surprise.
"My bending isn't working!"
Melasa looked on with suspicion, "Are you sure?"
He punched forward to exemplify his frustration. She looked away for a moment and whispered to herself. She turned back to him, "Some of my abilities are dampened, but I can still touch my powers."
"Good to know one of us can," Tiros looked up to see that the massive Panda was leaving the clearing they had entered, "Hey! Wait up!"
The two humans ran after the Spirit as it slowly trekked across the swamp of this strange world. Tiros was shocked at what he saw. He noticed trees dissolve at the slightest touch of a fly and vines eat them with surprising ferocity. Even Melasa had a look of surprise at the world they had entered.
"Master, this is a dangerous place, it is best that we stay with Hei Bai."
"You think?" He answered sarcastically, not wanting to think about what might happened if they didn't.
The bear stopped, he could have sworn it was shivering, as if fearful of what was ahead. Almost doubling in size, it turned back into the massive beast that had nearly attacked them in the forest. It was frightening, with limbs as large as tree trunks as a maw of sharp teeth, and yet it still shivered, afraid of whatever it was facing.
That worried Tiros more than he thought it would. What could scare this beast? Before he could ask, Hei Bai ran forward. Tiros and Melasa followed a short ways, arriving to a heavily wooded area all centered and focused around one massive tree.
"Why do you waken my slumber, Hei Bai?" A voice emanated from the great tree. It was cold as the echo touched their bones, making them shiver as much as the Black and White Spirit did beside them. Soon a head, or something mimicking one appeared in the mess of vines and branches, it was hideous.
Unanswered, it turned its attention, "Why are you here?"
Melasa looked to Tiros as he answered, "I am Avatar Tiros, I have come to resolve the disappearance of the villagers in this forest."
The echo that shook him with malicious vibrancy spoke again, "Those people have encroached upon my land one too many times. The forest belongs to the Spirit who made it, and the Spirit keeps it."
"What gives you the right to unilaterally take such action?"
"This is my forest, and not even Hei Bai's interference can save this village. They will pay the price for taking from me in my slumber, death."
"There has to be another option, another resolution."
"There are none. When the water falls, it cannot turn back, nor can the choices be undone by the Spirits who spared the humans in the War. Their fate, like yours, is sealed. Not even you little Nifrin can stop it."
Like a whip, a tentacled root struck after Tiros. It was easily large enough to crush him and was too fast to get out of the way. He was saved from certain death as Hei Bai stood there and took the strike. He roared as the force of the impact shook the vary air and blew Tiros back.
Tiros drew his hands back and thrust forward, forgetting that he could not bend. "Damn it!"
He saw a tiny flash of light as Melasa drew her sword, three vines rushed her. With incredible speed, she cut down the speeding whips of organic material as if they were still. In a twist as she held the blade at an awkward angle, one sword became two. Angled down and held widely apart, she rushed forward. A large root emerged from the water and shot up, hitting the half-witch and sending her flying through the trees beyond.
Tiros ran forward as he saw three more roots hit Hei Bai in a punishing torrent of fury. No wonder the Black and White Spirit feared it, this tree was winning, with only a fraction of its attention, it was beating down the fierce Hei Bai and had time to muse.
"Your feeble attempts to scare the humans away to save them was only delaying the inevitable. This is my forest, and I choose what lives here. That no longer includes you."
One of the roots coiled around its neck, tightening the noose on the Spirit's life.
"Kish Laur!" A strike of lighting emerged from the forest canopy hitting the trunk of the great tree. The unearthly echo screamed in agony as it let go of its prey. Leaping from the high ground, Melasa joined Tiros and Hei Bai.
"Master, you need this more than I do here!" She tossed over the sword that was gifted with unnatural properties.
The screaming of agony became fury as root swept after them. Melasa calmly raised her hand and with two fingers pointed, recited, "Dish-Ta!"
As if an axe had cleaved through, the root was cut in half, with the severed end falling in the water while the remaining root vainly swept at them. Vines charged for them as Melasa countered calmly, "Marak."
Flames charged and burned the offending plants to a crisp. The echoing voice did not appreciate it, "Little witch! You are nothing!"
Too fast for her to counter with a spell, more vines attacked. Melasa easily dodged as she ran sideways, expecting them. Tiros only saw a red blur as she moved past. The Nifrin had unnatural speed, it seemed that human conceptions didn't exist as he was now only seeing glimpses of her red hair while the vines pursued her.
He could hear her yelling, "Hei Bai, keep him busy. I'll join you in a minute. Master, wait until there's an opening, you'll know it when you see it!"
She then stood still almost out of sight in the shroud of trees, she whispered in both the human tongue and the Nifrin tongue, "Nalash Nura. Come to me, nature."
She placed her palms together as she closed her eyes, "Arauk ma sha. Shield my blood. Neyu turs eir. Defeat my foes. Nalash!"
She reached out her palms to the trees, and to his astonishment, they answered. Branches reached out, clawing for the red-haired witch. As they reached her, they grew over her red robes, covering her in vines and branches.
At first, it was a suit of armor made of nature, but more came. The legs grew additional joints, adding a foot to Melasa's height. Her arms likewise grew in length, the result was a lanky creature with oversized limbs, but more vines and roots came for her summons. Increasing the mass of its body and the thickness of its limbs.
Growing even more, it soon reached a massive size, over three times the size of a person, and inside was Melasa. The creature exuded a green mist from its eyes and maw, filled with claw-like roots for teeth. The hands clenched and loosened in a testing manner.
The eyes narrowed to slits, "Autenshou!"
Rushing forward with surprising speed for such a large beast, it rammed into the great tree as it was occupied with a snarling Hei Bai. Caught by surprise, it smacked her with a root but did not send her in a spiral as it would have before.Clawing at the tree, deep gashes appeared in the trunk, causing it to scream. Coiling vines encased the arms of the attacking beast. A blast of a bluish white light exploded as the wide open maw of the Black and White Spirit roared in defiant fury. Burning, the tree screams more in frustration than in pain, that these two thought they could kill him?
Vines and roots encased them as they struggled, trying to pull away from him, he laughed at the futility, neither of them was strong enough to hurt him and the Avatar had no powers here. Where was he anyways?
The answer was given in the form of a sharp pain in back of its 'head'. With great force and horrific pain, the intruding object forced itself further and cut through him like he was butter. Blood, or something like it spewed out from his mouth and soon a body did as well.
It was Tiros, with the Storm Flower in hand, coated in the gore of the great tree. As he landed, the swaying tree tumbled over, defeated. Its root no longer held, its vines were not so tight. The two who had been near death were not in so much danger anymore.
The Great Beast that has contrasting patterns of black and white with a bad attitude returned to the form of a large Panda, calm and relieved. He looked over to the creature, made of trees and vines, it snarled, but it was a small. The vines and roots loosened, no longer necessary for a fight that was over.
Collapsing around her, Melasa stood amongst the heap of nature that she had used as a weapon. She exhaled in a tired manner, the spell to use and maintain that creature was exhausting. It made her fell weak, knowing a full Nifrin could create many of them, and she could only make one.
"That was amazing," her reflection was interrupted as Hei Bai and Tiros approached, "How did you do that?"
"Nifrin can cast spells to summon things around them and using it as a living weapon."
"Well, it worked." Hei Bai growled softly, confirming Tiros statement. Tiros looked to the great bear, "Thank you for helping us, we couldn't have done it without you. I will tell the villagers the truth, that you were trying to save them."
The Panda smiled in a way. Tiros started again, "But I do have a question. What about the villagers lost?"
The smile left, and its eyes took a mournful note. "I see," Tiros knew what he meant, they were gone forever.
Melasa then asked the obvious, "Would you get us out of here? My presence and the presence of that weapon are not welcome here and it will draw attention if we stay any longer."The great bear nodded. In a warm breath, light enveloped them and blasted them back without a moment's notice.
As they fell they hit solid ground. Tiros bruised a finger and cursed as he smacked the ground creating a small shockwave of fire. Noticing it, he leapt up in joy, "Yes! Back in the real world! Mission accomplished!"
"Not quite yet, master. You still need to go to the village and explain that those we went for are never coming back, we owe that to them."
Tiros' joy faded in an instant. Leave it to Melasa to make a good thing go bad, "Right. Let's go."
- Hanbao gets his first appearance here as a vision.
- Melasa's way of drawing her weapons is another trait of Misuzu, except she doesn't call out the name of the weapon to summon it.
- Melasa is mature in the sense of death and battle but immature in human interaction, she thinks everyone is like her first home.

text: Like most global businesses, we are mindful that current uncertain economic and political environment. However, we believe that data center sector will continue to be a growth area in the context of the broader economy. In fact, our business has benefited significantly from a number of recent trends since the downturn in 2008, including the outsourcing of data center requirements by corporate enterprises, including large financial institutions, as well as the growth of managed service providers.With our track record of reliability of financial resources as well as our design and construction expertise, we continue to attract enterprise customers especially financial institutions are looking for a data center provider to have mission critical applications. In addition, we are attracting many new customers to DLR. We've consistently said that the great opportunity for our business is to convert the large enterprise users from building their own data centers to outsourcing that function to DLR. While this has contributed to a longer sales cycles in the short term, in part due to extensive procurement processes as many of the larger institutions, it does not represent a reduction in demand. We firmly believe that providing long-term data center solutions to these customers deliver sustained value and growth for our business and for our shareholders.

The Best Day to Gambling Online
The Best Day to Gambling Online
What's the perfect day for gambling online? In truth, it could be any day with the plethora of online and virtual casinos that exist in 2015. The reason for this is simple, as there is a growing trend for the development of time-sensitive promotions that are available for a limited time only. Take Sky Casino's 'Live Monday Bonus', for example, where players are afforded a weekly opportunity to get 20% of their losses back up to the value of £25 at the live casino.
What Value is provided by this type of Promotion?
So what is the purpose of this type of promotion? In simplistic terms, it enables operators to target specific gaming demographics and engage them with tailored promotions. This is hugely important, as is the fact that branded casinos can also drive higher levels of player engagement at times when they are experiencing a slight decline in traffic or volume. On a final note from a brand perspective, this type of promotional drive is also ideal for encouraging live gameplay and real-money wagering in 2015.
From a consumer perspective, this type of promotion also has considerable and altogether more obvious benefits. Firstly, players can prioritise their gaming schedule and enjoy their favourite games at a time that is most profitable for them. The greatest benefit is the fact that gamblers can also recover any previous losses made through the casino, which is highly appealing whether you are a recreational player or one with a professional orientation. This underpins a number of modern day casino promotions, and it is important as it appeals to the typical gamblers' spirit and sense of adventure.
Real-Time and Live Promotions in 2015
In today's market it is possible to play a different game each day across a range of online operators, while also accessing separate live promotions that increase your opportunities to win big. Given that they also enable you to potentially minimise losses, you can save considerable sums of money simply by creating a gambling schedule that lets you make the most of your good fortune.
So if you play regularly online and like the idea of recouping losses, promotions such as Sky Casino's Live Monday Bonus are extremely beneficial. You are also likely to see more of these bonus options emerge in 2015, as online operators compete to retain their share of the market.

Better Care Fund, better read the small print?
Although earlier rumours of the demise of the Better Care Fund – the government's flagship £3.8 billion pooled fund to promote integrated care – have turned out to be greatly exaggerated, the significance of the government's latest announcement about the fund should not be. Although this has been fed by mounting political anxieties about the state of hospital finances ahead of next year's general election, the writing has always been on the wall.
While sharing resources across the NHS and local government is a step in the right direction, expectations of what the Better Care Fund could achieve, and how quickly, seemed heroic. The £3.8 billion fund is not new money, the national conditions for its use were stringent and plans had to be assembled very quickly, with insufficient time to engage properly with acute providers whose buy-in is essential for the plans to work. It is surprising that anyone was surprised that many of the local plans submitted on 4 April didn't pass muster. What began as a well-intentioned agreement between the Department of Health, NHS England and the Local Government Association is fast becoming a Faustian pact – the devil truly will be in the detail of the revised guidance that we haven't yet had sight of.
The key change is that £1 billon of next year's fund will be allocated through a local 'performance pot' for each health and wellbeing board – and the money each board receives will depend on its performance in reducing hospital admissions. The remaining money will be used to commission NHS services. This will offer some small cheer to hard-pressed acute trusts – it means the NHS will avoid paying twice for emergency admissions (once through the fund, and again for the admission that wasn't avoided). But the price of this very modest amelioration for the NHS is a substantial shift of risk back to local authorities that can't be sure they will receive the grant for services that have to be funded up-front.
There are three obvious and immediate consequences of the rethink. First, most plans will need to be rewritten within weeks and will then be subject to a further central assurance process and ministerial sign-off. This represents a huge amount of time and scrutiny of less than 3 per cent of total NHS and social care spending – a distraction from addressing the much bigger challenges of how best to plan with 100 per cent over a more realistic time frame.
Second, reaching local agreement on the new performance rules – especially the key metric of reductions in emergency hospital admissions – and how they will work in practice seem a recipe for conflict and local disagreement at a time when the NHS and local authority partners need to be collaborating like never before. Rises or falls in emergency admissions are influenced by a wide range of factors and attributing changes to short-term Better Care Fund investment will be tricky to say the least.
Third, it creates new uncertainty for local authorities in planning their budgets for next year, with the prospect of at least £600 million to be spent on NHS services and not available to protect social care. This will only add to the woes of the social care system where the cracks are beginning to show as last week's Association of Directors of Adult Social Services budget survey demonstrated.
Reducing hospital admissions by providing care closer to home depends in part on investing in alternative services in primary, community and social care. This takes time, and a good understanding of what types of intervention are best suited for local needs and circumstances – we have summarised the evidence in our evidence-based guide, Making best use of the Better Care Fund. Crucially there will need to be additional money for new or additional services before resources can be released from hospitals. The Better Care Fund in its current guise does not do this.
As Simon Stevens, Chief Executive of NHS England, pointed out recently, merging two leaky buckets does not create a watertight solution. What is needed is a genuine health and social care transformation fund with new money to meet the double-running and transition costs of changing how and where care is provided. Finding extra money in the current fiscal climate is a big ask but one that will become increasingly urgent as the financial crisis facing both the NHS and social care gathers pace. The consequences of not acting are serious – sticking plaster solutions will not deal with the significant challenges facing social care, nor will they address the growing funding pressures facing the NHS.

These challenging times - In these times of chronic austerity; post the bank collapse, the structural defect and a globalised downturn, it seems that the short termism of our 5 year political cycle / system is bringing out the worst in our leaders; presenting attention grabbing headlines, setting unrealistic challenges, impossible timeframes and a lack of any engagement with those who have to meet them.
Are we all deemed naive? - In a recent response to a question in Parliament about the crisis in social care, Mr. Cameron responded with an attack on the previous government as usual, and then went on to say 'that's why we have increased funding to the NHS'. In other words, the issue was ducked, and I am not sure about that answer either.
This pretty much sums up the paradox in health and social care in this melee and it surprises me that we are expected not to notice. I would hang on to politicians words for some shred of clarity, commitment or innovation, but I see none. Far from it.
We have an ageing population, living longer with more complex conditions, and are still reeling post Mid Staffs, Winterbourne View, Ash Court etc., yet health and social care continues to be cut particularly in terms of residential care and even more dramatically with care at home over the last 3 years despite the rhetoric to the contrary. It just gets worse and worse and the gap between statement and reality grows ever wider.
The paradox - There are claims that we are responding, learning, and are supporting more people, better at home. In truth, we are failing on every count. Particularly, the reality is the steady withdrawal from state supported health care, social care and elderly care in particular, which started in the 90's, and is now being accelerated.
Decades ago we saw the withdrawal of NHS geriatric facilities, and rightly so, but now the decline in private residential care is simply resulting in NHS general facilities increasingly serving the elderly, leading to a furore over 'avoidable admissions' in this blame culture. Are they really 'avoidable admissions' in the current situation, whilst we find someone or something to blame, and have brought this on ourselves through successive policy failures. Perhaps we should take our lead from the Australians who have better solutions and do not seem to indulge in the politics of avoidance, disaster and blame to the same extent.
Richard Humphries puts in words what we all suspected or knew but we were perhaps being naively hopeful.
The Care Act too is a mystery. The government's main drive has been to cut the deficit. So, how will cash strapped local authorities, dependant on central government funding, fund more and more of the existing (albeit declining) residential care placements? The £18bn residential care sector depends on the self pay market for roughly half its revenue, (cynically called 'the catastrophic costs') which the government now expects local authorities to pay the bulk of. Or does it? If so, how can they? They can't cope now. Oh, it must be someone's fault.
It seems to be a paradox of modern times that the more difficult things become, and the more we need to work increasingly closely together, the more likely it is that we are being set up to fail. That includes Local Authorities, the NHS, its Managers, Consultants & Doctors, as well as Social Care Providers, all Nurses and Healthcare assistants, all of whom seemingly take it in turn for public or more likely political vilification.
What I hope is that one day we might see some honesty, a long term vision and some determination to back plans with resources, financial and otherwise so that they have a chance. However, I won't hold my breath.
Geoffrey Cox MSc. LLb.
Why not simply have the hospital recharge its costs for any admission of a client of the Joint Fund?
The Fund then has control and accountability for its performance. And if it can avoid higher costs by investing more smartly in its own capability then it is motivated to do so. And if it cannot, then either it is incompetent...or the model is flawed and the intellectual conceit is false.
Or is that too simple?!

What to make of the administration's policy on holding torturers accountable? Attorney General Eric Holder says he "will not permit the criminalization of policy differences," but will pursue wrongdoing "to the full extent of the law." The problem here is that when it comes to torture, policy differences just might be criminal.
Washington Post:
Some Republicans are accusing the Obama administration of seeking to prosecute over policy differences.
"I will not permit the criminalization of policy differences. However, it is my responsibility as the attorney general to enforce the law," Holder told a congressional hearing. "If I see wrongdoing, I will pursue it to the full extent of the law."

Jannero Pargo scored 11 points, all in the fourth quarter. The Hawks, playing without leading scoring Joe Johnson, leaned on their reserves, including veterans Tracy McGrady and Jerry Stackhouse, in the final period.
The Bucks, led by Brandon Jennings' 34 points, were ahead by 15 in the third quarter. Atlanta pulled ahead with a 15-3 run to open the final period.

Brook Lopez had 28 points for the Nets.
