WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION CHOREOGRAPHY AND MOVEMENT IN FILM Work in dance and movement in film can be an ever-changing and diverse experience. This is what makes it exciting!

There are a host of details and elements that need to be considered at each stage of the process, in addition to the actual creation of the work. With discussions, Q and A's, and practical 'on your feet' workshops, we'll explore the myriad of fun and challenging scenarios that can present themselves on a variety of job assignments. Topics will include: Different approaches for different films, Genres, and directors; How does the dance/movement fit into the narrative of the film and/or scene; Relationships with other departments (Directors, Assistant Directors, Costume Departments, Sound Departments, Art and Props Departments); Practical sessions in creating and filming the work (historical dance, etc); Actors, dancers, and Muppets - working with differing levels of skills, abilities, and comfort zones.

With extensive experience in the industry, it was from a very young age that Sanger wanted to make films. He started as an assistant editor in the mid-90s, coming into the industry just as the change from analogue to digital happened. Under this title Sanger worked on Tomorrow Never Dies (1997), The World is Not Enough (1999), and The Mummy (1999). As a visual effects editor, he collaborated extensively with Tim Burton, editing Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005), Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007) and Alice in Wonderland (2010). Also as a VFX artist he worked on 007: Die Another Die (2002), Troy (2004), and on Alfonso Cuarón's highly acclaimed Children of Men (2006). Sanger and Cuarón worked together yet again, in 2013's hit movie Gravity (2013), with Sanger working as a Picture Editor. This successful collaboration earned them, as co-editors, the Oscar for Best Editing, a BAFTA nomination, amongst a very wide list of various awards. Currently, Sanger has been working on the new Transformers movie, which is already in post-production and will be released later in the year. Mark Sanger experience speaks for itself and guarantees the high standards our participants have come to expect from FEST FILM LAB. WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION It is important to note that this will not be a workshop to teach you editing with any specific software, but instead it will enhance your capacity to edit in your mind, before you actually use your tool. It is about your decision, your choices and your options as an editor. DAY 1 ● Introduction of the participants and Mark Sanger. The participants will then be showed some clips of the work made by him, analyzing some choices and options made in some of his works, generally sharing experiences of editing in the industry / as well as getting into on what was behind of some of his editing. ● Film editing vs. visual effects editing - the specification of the VFX editor job; links beetween film editing, animation editing and visual effects editing ● Traditional editing vs. digital editing - how has digital technology changed the process; how knowledge and experience in traditional editing can be useful in digital editing ● When does the editing process really start? the importance of preparations prior to shooting; editing with storyboards and pre-vis ● How to help the story flow through the editing and best processes; how to serve the narrative through effective editing; how to employ narrative techniques to create tension; how to edit your characters/actors and performance (practical examples of problem solving and good decisions) ● How to apply the craft in different genres, the impact of genre on editing styles. ● Influence of great films, film history to help work. ● Eye for details - how to avoid mistakes DAY 2 ● Technical aspects of the job - looking at recent project showing workflow. ● How to get and improve your professional skills - technical courses at film schools vs. practical experience. What to take into account when choosing a course from the wide range that different film schools, art schools and technical schools provide? ● An overview of available tools / software; advantages and disadvantages; which one to choose? ● Space for creativity - relations between technical skills and thinking outside of the box, how to be a part of the whole process of film and television production and not merely as the final stage, becoming collaborators, not just efficient technicians. ● The relationship with the director, DOP, producer and other members of the film crew; visual effects editor as a bridge between the editorial and visual effects departments, communicating both creative and technical information between the two; the importance of having a broad understanding of all departments ● Practical exercise. The participants will be given footage (a small scene) to work two weeks before the workshop, all participants will show their work at the workshop, the group will then analyze each editing, and learn from each other´s work. Mark Sanger will give his insight on each edited version of the footage. The participants should at the end be self-conscious of their editing choices, as well as aware of the other options taken by the other participants. ● The market reality for editors, agents, rates, and finding your own work PROFILE OF PARTICIPANTThe workshop designed for Editors, Directors, VFX Editors, VFX Technicians, VFX Supervisors, Film Students, or anyone interested in entering the Film Business on the area of Editing and VFX LOCATION OF THE WORKSHOP London UK Duration: 2 days Dates: 8-9 July 2017 Location: London UK Price: 399GBP (299GBP with 25% discount until the 4th of July) Maximum number of participants: 25 By registering to the workshop you agree with FFL terms and Conditions

To my understanding, you would like respondents of your form able to add their job and school history, is that correct?
Base on your requirement, I suggest you check out our Configurable List widget that allows respondents to add more fields to the table if needed be.
To know more about the widget, you can check out this guide: How-to-Set-Up-the-Configurable-List-Widget
Please let us know if you have other questions or concerns.
Thank you.
Strange thing! I posted an answer yesterday but it does not appear here.
This widget helped, but I still need to create other, like this one:
JotForm Support
Could you please clarify what you would like to accomplish? Would you like to have a static table that has an existing data?
Or you would like to have a fields that can be dynamically added? The Configurable List widget allows your users to add multiple items as rows. Here's a screencast on how it works:
If you just want to display a data grid on a table, then you can use this widget: https://widgets.jotform.com/widget/data_grid. Or you can use our "Text" field, it allows you to create a static table on the form:
I hope that gives you an idea on how to proceed. Let us know more about your requirements so that we can better assist you.
Ok sorry. Let me explain better.
Let's say I want a form inside my form. The table I sent you and image contains various field I need the person to fill. I could create text boxes with labels one under another, but it would get too big, since I will use 3 of this tables.
So, what I want is a table, not with static text, but with blank fields to be filled. Each of these fields contains a label inside; or it could be a hint text, that indicates what info is required in that.
Could I make me clear? ^^"
thnx for attention.
JotForm Support
You cannot create an exact appearance like you have shown in the image, because inputs will be on textboxes. Unless you are an advance CSS coder, then you can achieve that style. You can position the fields just like the one in your screenshot, here's a guide that might help you: https://www.jotform.com/help/328-How-to-position-fields-in-JotForm
Now after the form fields are positioned, you can restyle the elements to look like a table. Here's a sample form I made: https://form.jotform.com/61895508988983. You can clone that form to have a copy in your account.
Here's a screenshot on how it looks like:
So basically, it indeed possible to redesign the form and the form fields to look like a table, but you need to be quite knowledgeable with CSS to do this. You can also use our Form Designer Tool, but the style options are quite limited though. Here are some CSS codes based from the JotForm form fields: https://www.jotform.com/help/75-Customize-Your-Form-Using-Custom-CSS-Codes
Here's a quick guide about CSS code in w3schools: http://www.w3schools.com/css/
We can help you on styling your form but I strongly suggest hiring a web designer if you are not that familiar with CSS coding.
I hope that helps.

His decision to stay in-house and promote offensive line coach Bill Muir to offensive coordinator might end up being a legacy decision by head coach Todd Haley in Kansas City.
I don't think Haley -- who finished third in the NFL coach of the year voting this week after leading the young Chiefs to a 10-6 record and the AFC West title in his second season -- is anywhere near a crossroads in his Kansas City career. I think he is in solid standing. However, if Muir's stint as offensive coordinator in Kansas City is a short one, Haley will be saddled with a reputation as a coach who can't work with offensive coordinators.
Muir will be the offensive-minded Haley's third offensive coordinator in as many seasons in Kansas City. Haley fired Chan Gailey – a holdover from the previous regime -- in the preseason in 2009 and Haley took over as offensive the rest of the season. Charlie Weis departed after a successful 2010 season to become the offensive coordinator at the University of Florida.
The promotion of Muir, he'll still coach the offensive line, to offensive coordinator took 24 days for Haley to make. His search was very quiet and few candidates emerged before Muir was promoted. The general consensus was if Haley was going to promote a current assistant it would be Maurice Carthon.
However, this is not to say that Muir is a bad choice. He has a terrific coaching resume.
Muir was Jon Gruden's offensive coordinator/offensive line coach from 2002-08 in Tampa Bay. Muir ran the meetings and oversaw the offense, and Gruden called the plays on game days. Thursday, Haley wouldn't say who would call the plays, and earlier in the day ESPN's Chris Mortensen reported that Haley hasn't decided who will call the plays. Last month, Haley said he wouldn't be the offensive coordinator. But he also said he wouldn't rule out calling the plays.
I bet Haley ends up calling the plays. But I also bet he gets input from Muir and his entire staff.
"I think that really good play calling is the result of a staff that works very well, not only offseason, but specifically in the season," Haley said Thursday.
Weis called the plays in 2010 and the Chiefs were successful. However, in Week 3 prior to a 31-10 win against San Francisco, the rest of the staff worked together on the game plan while Weis was ill. The Chiefs ended up having one of their better offensive days of the season, so there is confidence that this group effort could work.
I know it is key for Haley to have good chemistry with his staff and he feels Muir and he can work well together.
The on-field key is for Kansas City, which had the No.1 ranked run offense in the NFL in 2010, is to continue its ground success and for quarterback Matt Cassel to continue his development. Weis and Cassel had a good relationship. Haley said Muir has a good relationship with Cassel. Assistant Nick Sirianni and Cassel work well together, and Sirianni will remain. Sirianni could be a candidate to be quarterback coach – to replace Weis – if a veteran coach such as Chris Palmer isn't added.
So, there are reasons to believe the Chiefs' offensive strides made in 2010 can continue.
Haley clearly thinks this setup can work, and he is comfortable with the arrangement. If that changes and Muir doesn't last long as offensive coordinator, it will end up being a damning indictment on Haley.
It all starts with him.

Since people keep asking, this popped up. This isn't going to show up in SSR proper, since it really doesn't fit, but hopefully this answers SOME questions.
As far as timeline is concerned, this takes place during the next chapter of SSR. There's nothing plot-specific in this, though. Sorry.
I don't own Seto, although Ame is MY Tok'ra. Well, Seto's Tok'ra.
Why Seto and Ame got Together
Ame sighed and flopped onto the bed in Seto's quarters. The brunette looked at him inquiringly but said nothing as he turned back to his computer screen. Noah was still with the techs, but he'd emailed and said that he'd be back before dinner.
"My head itches," Ame muttered. He was stuck with the body while Yami and Yugi adopted their separate forms for the duration of Bakura and Malik's prank.
"Ne, Seto," Ame asked conversationally when Seto didn't answer him. "I was wondering something."
"Hm?" Seto asked, looking up from his screen again.
"Not that I'm questioning a good thing, but why do you like me?" Ame asked, almost idly. He watched Seto intently for his reaction.
Seto stopped typing and shut the laptop. "I could ask you the same thing," he countered with a smirk. He then grew serious and rubbed his chin in thought. "Well, I'd read about you from the SGC's files before, and you seemed like an interesting individual. I originally had you filed into the same folder as Jou. 'Annoying, avoid at all costs.'"
Seto moved over to the bed and gathered Ame up in his arms.
"But then I watched you on the plane. You were more alive than even Jou could be. It was almost like you were shouting 'Life sucks, let's enjoy it while we can.'"
Ame snickered. "How'd you get that?"
"Your eyes," Seto admitted. "Watching a person's eyes tells you a lot about them. It's my main source of information during business meetings. But if you ever tell Mokuba or Jou that you WILL regret it."
Ame snickered. "So what brought on the lovey-dovey things?"
Seto shrugged. "Honestly?"
Ame nodded.
"I think it was just hormones at first."
If they had been living in an anime, Ame would have faceplanted right off the bed. Instead, he suppressed a snort of laughter and hugged Seto tightly.
"And you're funny," Seto smiled, stroking Ame's hair. "You are very irking at times, but you have to be somewhat intelligent to come up with half the stuff you do. I suppose, if I had to name one thing, I'd say I loved your wit most of all."
Ame giggled. "Well thank you, I do try."
"Now your turn," Seto prompted. "I doubt you'd even heard of me before you met me at Yugi's house. What made you like me?"
Ame grinned like a maniac before allowing his expression to soften into a true smile. "The way Yugi viewed you," he answered honestly.
Seto looked at him questioningly.
"When I had the chance, I viewed Yugi's memories so, if I got caught, I could act like him, and a lot of his memories for the past few years involve you." Ame looked away from Seto, plucking at the brunette's shirt absently as he thought. "When I saw you in them, I couldn't help but feel the way Yugi did at those moments. The memory that stood out most, though, was your duel with him on top of Pegasus' castle. I saw your determination to save your brother, facing all odds, and even risking your own life!" Ame's hand fisted into Seto's jacket almost of its own will. "I wondered if I could ever be like that," he continued softly. "If it came down to me or Faizah, who would I have chosen?" he asked, almost to himself.
Seto hugged him tightly. Ame shook his head and smiled. "Sorry, I got sidetracked. Anyway, I like your dedication most. You stick to something and see it through."
Seto nodded in acceptance. "We're quite a couple, huh?" he asked, somewhat amused.
"Yeap! But like I always said, being normal is boring," Ame chuckled. "Now, are you going to molest me or am I going to have to get help?
Seto leaned forward obligingly, but then frowned and glanced upwards. "I'd say a change of scenery is in order, then," he purred, picking Ame up and carrying him out.

Russkoe Moloko the milk company owned by a controversial Orthodox Christian activist Vasily Boyko-Veliky explains that the bar codes have long been a sign of the devil due to three hidden sixes.
"It's long been known that the bar code on all products is one of the prototypes of the mark of the beast—it always contains an invisible three sixes (666), or the name of the Antichrist," he said.
The belief that that every barcode in the Universal Product Code (UPC-A) has the number 666 embedded in it is not a new one. It is as ridiculous as it sounds but there are many out there who take it way too seriously.
George Laurer the man who designed the bar code tried clearing it up, "There is nothing sinister about this nor does it have anything to do with the Bible's 'mark of the beast' … It is simply a coincidence like the fact that my first, middle, and last name all have 6 letters. There is no connection with an international money code either."
But who's listening to him? Not the believers of the myth and definitely not Vasily Boyko-Veliky.
Boyko-Veliky, has previously asked his workers to boycott British goods over the UK Government's support for businesses that ban Christians from openly wearing crosses or crucifixes at work.
If you find that hard to believe, you will probably fall out of your chair when we tell you that in 2010 the gentleman forced anyone who was working for him and 'living in sin,' (in other wordswas single and in a sexual relationship) to say their marriage vows before a clergyman or be fired.
"A holy man lives according to God's rules, and people who follow religious rules are the best employees," he said.
Well, one can only be fascinated by the man's conviction- what more?

Conditional logic and credit card paymentAsked by sisters7 on July 15, 2016 at 11:37 AM
When I setup Braintree, I have Braintree gets the "amount due" as the amount to be charged. However this form also has the option for registrants to pay with check. Since the number gets carried to credit card payment automatically, the conditional logic "If 'check to be mailed' is filled, show 'Please make check payable...." and "Registration is not officially....'" does not work. The program does not recognize "check to be mailed" is filled, because the credit card payment was filled first.
How do I correct this problem, so the conditional logic for "check to be mailed" works?
Thank you again for your time and your effort. I truly appreciate it.
JotForm Support
First I would suggest you to delete last two hide options for field "Amount due".
Then inside of "Check to be mailed" check box field add radio button field with two options: Check to be mailed and Pay by Credit Card. Then set condition for that field to show "Credit Card Payment" field is option "Pay by Credit Card" is selected.
This way "Credit Card Payment" field will only be shown if "Pay by Credit Card" option is selected, regardless if "Amount due" field is filled or not.
Here is my cloned form when I made mentioned changes: https://www.jotformpro.com/form/61964824180965
Feel free to clone it.
You can also check this guide:
Hope this will help. Let us know if you need further assistance.
Your suggestions are wonderful. I have incorporated them into my form. However, if I click "by check" as the payment method, "Please make your check payable...." and "Registration is not officially complete until..." don't show up even though I have included them in the "show" logic.
Please help again. Thank you.
JotForm Support
Remove this options from "Amount due" condition as well.
Also disable or delete this condition. Credit card Payment field as actually filled in this stage, because amount is passed from "Amount due" to payment field.

I wonder if there's a new trend starting over at Tim Tales. A month ago Scott Hunter got fucked by Lucio Saints and his fat monster cock, then a couple of weeks later, Hunter bottomed for Tim Kruger and took his 10-inch cock. Back in June, Kruger introduced us to Spanish cock hound Alejandro Dumas and the fans loved him, so this week Alejandro is back getting his ass pounded by fellow Spaniard Lucio Saints.
I wonder if Tim Kruger and Lucio Saints just keep alternating and breaking in new bottoms on the site, or will they ever get together to spit roast one lucky bottom. Can you imagine being the bottom who has to service those two huge cocks? Talk about a bottom's dream come true, or worst nightmare, I guess, depending on how good of a bottom you are.
Alejandro Dumas would certainly be a good candidate for that scene. Watching him taking Lucio Saints' hugely thick and long dick is something else. Dumas is down on all fours and Saints' is plunging his hard-on all the way in, then out, then back balls deep, and Dumas is sitting there with this "is it in yet?" look on his face. Saints' drills Dumas like this over and over and it's certainly not a chore. We get the odd "oh yeah" or moan out of him, but largely he doesn't seem the least bit phased by the huge dick sliding in and out of his ass. It's not until Saints starts giving Dumas one of his signature hole pounding and ass slapping hard fucks that Dumas starts grunting and grimacing -- he loves it hard. And after power fucking Dumas, Lucio unloads his nuts all over his Spanish buddy's face.

Through the Decades
The March Hare Band is something like a four-piece time machine, traversing the waves of popular music from the 50's through the 70's. The trip begins with Jenny Moase transforming into Patsy Cline, declaring her heartbreak from the stage of the Grand Ole Opry. From there, Dan Hare, Andy Smyth, and Ian Paxton may don the rugged beards of ZZ Top, or slip into the colourful uniforms of the Beatles. Memories of Motown, disco, and freedom rock fly as the group pivots from star to star, ushering in a set from Elvis or a shower of sequins from Michael Jackson. Live music and multimedia effects display the years in vivid, technicolour relief. ####Starlight Casino More than 30 table games pepper the floor of Starlight Casino, beckoning high rollers and those who just want to test their luck for a night. Around them, slot machines ding and whistle, accepting every denomination from pennies to dollars. These diversions join together with five dining options and regular entertainment to create a singular stop for a night of fun and an easy test to see if your brain has been replaced by a probability calculator.

One is a right-handed 28-year-old refugee from minor league baseball who has already quarterbacked his team, a perennial power, to a national championship. The other is a 22-year-old left-hander who ascended from the junior college ranks to throw his team, a onetime power, to a perfect season and a chance to win the national title.
When more than 900 Heisman Trophy votes are counted today, either Florida State's Chris Weinke or Oklahoma's Josh Heupel will edge the other out for college football's most coveted individual award.
It promises to be another wild finish to a remarkably unpredictable season -- perhaps the closest Heisman race since 1985, when Auburn tailback Bo Jackson snatched the trophy from Iowa quarterback Chuck Long by a mere 45 votes. In keeping with this autumn's hopscotching rhythms, it will not be the final word.
On Jan. 3 in the Orange Bowl, Weinke's Seminoles (11-1) will face Heupel's Sooners (12-0) in the Bowl Championship Series title game. In other words, the loser of the Heisman could take a bigger trophy home next month.
Even though Purdue quarterback Drew Brees and Texas Christian tailback LaDainian Tomlinson will also be on the dais, and deserve to be, at the Downtown Athletic Club tomorrow, this is essentially a two-man race because both quarterbacks share a common trait: audacity.Continue reading the main story
In Weinke's case, he demonstrated it by showing up at Florida State as a 24-year-old freshman after six summers of minor league baseball. He was admittedly slow and unable to summon the skills to play football that first year. In 1998, he sustained a broken neck late in the season, but persevered through a grueling rehab to return in 1999 to lead the Seminoles to an undefeated season and the national championship.
Then Weinke chose to do what few underclassmen far younger and with less talent seldom do: he returned to school for another year. His numbers reflect that it was a wise decision. Weinke has thrown for 4,167 yards and 33 touchdowns, and he has given the Seminoles the opportunity to defend their championship.
Does his age matter?
''He was out of football for six years and to have the audacity to come back and think he could do what he's done,'' said Florida State Coach Bobby Bowden. ''Then he broke his neck and fought through that. He stayed another year to improve himself. Chris has a lot of qualities that are the American Dream. It would be a travesty if age kept him out.''
Does beauty matter?
In Heupel's case, that is what is being weighed. His left-handed lobs often look like punts, his footwork sometimes appears to be tangled on a Twister board and, as he battled an inflamed bursa on his throwing arm, his numbers began to wobble. Although Heupel finished the regular season with 3,172 yards and 18 touchdowns, he failed to break the 300-yard mark in any of his last four games and threw three interceptions against Kansas State in the Big 12 championship game.
Still, he put up the prettiest number of them all, said his teammates and his coach: his team is undefeated.
''You're supposed to pick the best guy,'' Sooners receiver Damien Mackey argued on behalf of Heupel's candidacy. ''You wouldn't be the best guy if you had lost.''
Oklahoma Coach Bob Stoops also testifies to his quarterback's audacity. Two years ago, Heupel was a little-known quarterback at Snow Junior College in Utah when an Oklahoma assistant saw him on videotape. Stoops and his staff were new to Norman, Okla., and had decided to put in a spread, passing offense. No one on campus was adept enough to run it and the Sooners basically needed a body at quarterback, but one with a superior brain.
When Heupel showed up for his recruiting visit, he asked Stoops only one question: ''Can we win a Big 12 and national championship in the two years that I'm here?'' Stoops was taken aback, but gathered himself to answer: yes. Last year as a junior, Heupel put up better numbers than he did this year -- 3,400 yards and 30 touchdowns -- as the Sooners finished 7-5. This year, however, the quarterback made the coach look clairvoyant.
''His play through the entire year and his winning speak volumes, and that's what people have recognized,'' Stoops said.
Ultimately, the question of who should win the Heisman Trophy this year is not about age or beauty. It is a tossup except for one category: which quarterback means more to his team?
No matter what happens in the Orange Bowl, the Seminoles will finish in the top four in the nation for the 14th straight year. They have a high-octane offense and are loaded with talent. If you remove Weinke from Florida State, the Seminoles might still finish at least 9-2.
As Stoops would acknowledge, take the sore-armed lobber out of the Sooners' lineup and Oklahoma is another promising team with a bright second-year coach. They also are probably an 8-4 minor bowl team. If Heupel is the difference between an 8-4 record and an undefeated season with a title game, he deserves the Heisman Trophy.Continue reading the main story

As aging baby boomers drive increasing demand for total joint replacement of the hip and knee, patients at Carolinas HealthCare System stand to gain from vigorous ongoing efforts to standardize care, measure quality and minimize complications that reflect a system-wide approach.
A National trend in joint replacement This sustained focus by the System on quality control in total joint replacement echoes a national trend made even more pressing by the growing obesity epidemic, a public health issue that specifically fuels knee replacement procedures, explained orthopaedic surgeon David Mauerhan, MD, an adult reconstruction specialist for Carolinas HealthCare System. \
Fortunately, hip and knee replacement lend themselves well to a standardization of processes since factors such as type of implant, pain management used, physical therapy and patient education can readily be documented and compared. "There's been a fairly large movement nationally – hip and knee replacement represents a significant and growing expenditure at the federal level, and even in private insurance plans it's a big growth area," Dr. Mauerhan said. "There's a whole list of processes from A to Z – from the time a patient first sees a doctor to the time the patient leaves the hospital – that's considered the episode of care."
Payers at all levels, including the federal government, are considering bundled payment plans for total joint replacement that will offer providers a set fee to care Total Joint Replacement Program Focuses on Standardizing Care for each patient during an episode of care, he said. "So when you're at significant risk like that as a System, you have to have processes in place to enable you to examine your efficiencies of care and offer the ability to document short- and long-term outcomes."
Steps Carolinas HealthCare System leaders have taken toward standardizing care within the total joint replacement program include participating in the American Joint Replacement Registry (AJRR) – a national center for data collection and research with potentially far-reaching benefits – as well as the American College of Surgeons' National Safety Quality Improvement Project (NSQIP), an outcomesbased program to measure and improve the quality of surgical care in the private sector. "We're putting in place many of these processes as a system," Dr. Mauerhan said, "and then, as an orthopaedic service line in arthroplasty, we're looking to improve and engage that effort."
To better measure quality, Carolinas HealthCare System is also developing performance measures that will gather information both from inside and outside the system. Internal performance measures include factors such as appropriately screening patients before surgery, prescribing the optimal antibiotics to fight post-surgical infections and offering post-hospital support and standardized post-surgery physical therapy protocols. This information is already being integrated into electronic medical records, Dr. Mauerhan said.
External, outcome-based performance measurements will come from sources such as patients, who increasingly are being asked to rate their healthcare experiences using Internet-based technologies. "There's a lot of technology that's evolving around how we get this information reported," Dr. Mauerhan said. "I expect over the next decade, we'll see an evolution of more of what I call patient-centric reporting. But I think the sophistication of how it's done will continue to evolve. That's part of best practices, and we have the ability at Carolinas HealthCare System to share those best practices among multiple sites."
The most common reasons for hospital readmissions following total joint replacement surgery include cardiac or pulmonary complications and wound-related problems such as bleeding or infection. Along with healthcare systems across the United States, Carolinas HealthCare System has halved those complication rates over the last decade by implementing measures such as immediate and repeated follow-up with patients after discharge and quick referrals for care when problems arise, Dr. Mauerhan said. "You're never going to make the complication rate zero in surgery, no matter how hard you try," he said. "So we make sure patients have appropriate medical clearance before surgery, which drives the complication rate down after surgery and then after they leave the hospital."
Instead of competing with other institutions' total joint replacement programs, Dr. Mauerhan espouses the belief that every program should want others to succeed for the good of both patients and healthcare providers.
One of the oldest joint replacement registries in the world, located in Sweden, has a "revolutionary" process that helps sub-par physicians and programs improve their skills and efficiency with an incentive-based approach, he said. "To me, that's absolutely the way it should be done," Dr. Mauerhan said. "I think of this as a national initiative, and those of us involved in hip and knee replacement want everyone to succeed. There has to be someone driving the change, and we're in a community where we have thought leaders driving this change. We need to take those interested in arthroplasty and help them become as good as they can possibly be."

Back in February 2003 I posted about the Agricultural Research Service's efforts to find a biological control for the red imported fire ant (Solenopsis invicta). Now a kind reader has pointed out this March 2004 article from AgNews, about the detection of a protozoan (Thelohania solenopsae) in wild populations of the ant. Discovered in more than 75% of the Texas counties where the red imported fire ant is found, this strain of Thelohania solenopsae appears to have found its way to the ants without human intervention, and tests show that it is different from the strain used in laboratory tests.
Thanks to Thomas D. for sending in the link to this story.

Stan Collymore – Basic Instinct 2: Risk Addiction (2006)
Given the very public chequered history that's, um, 'dogged' Stanley Victor Collymore, casting him as a footballer whose private life gets him into automobile-related hot water is either a sick joke or extreme Method role-play. As Shazza Stone's drugged-up sex toy, our Stan doesn't even last past the opening credits, with just one line of dialogue: "Guess what? I can't move." And we thought it was just your acting, lover boy.
Movie Star Alternative: The anonymous, unfortunate first victim in any thriller/horror whose death sets the plot in motion. Fine if you're Drew Barrymore in Scream, career suicide if you're not.
Ally McCoist – A Shot at Glory (2000)
The twinkly-eyed ex-Glasgow Rangers hot-shot evidently didn't waste all that Question of Sport TV experience and seems surprisingly comfortable on the big screen opposite acting titan Robert Duvall. He certainly does a better Scottish accent than Duvall (though so would Sue Barker) in a patented plucky Caledonian story about a volatile, washed-up star striker helping out little football minnows. Think Local Hero meets any sporting underdog movie.
Movie Star Alternative: McCoist's lovable, roguish Scottish charm - a bit of a ladies man, not afraid to get his (football) kit off - definitely suggests early Ewan McGregor.
Eric Cantona – Looking for Eric (2009)
As unpredictable an artist now as he was a player then, Cantona's acting gigs generally eschew football movies, but Ken Loach's crowd-pleaser fits him like a Man Utd jersey with an upturned collar. As inspiration and imaginary (or is he?) life coach to a beleaguered Manc postman, Cantona gets to indulge every inch of his mysterious, strutting-yet-lovable public persona and let's face it - no one plays 'Eric Cantona' like he does.
Movie Star Alternative: A mercurial Gallic rebel and law unto himself, who can steal the limelight even in a supporting role on either side of the Channel - voila, c'est Vincent Cassel, n'est-ce pas?
Alan Shearer – Purely Belter (2000)
If Shearer's insomnia-curing outings as a TV pundit are any indication, a glittering screen career was a non-starter. Mercifully he's confined to a cameo in this grim-oop-nurth saga of two Newcastle fans' quest for season tickets. Yet even a simple line - "Alright lads, what can I do for you?" - sounds like an autocue reading by a tone-deaf Geordie robot. The only likely note of realism: Big Al's in-car Celine Dion CD.
Movie Star Alternative: Dour screen personality of an old leather football, voice as animated as a speaking clock, yet still inexplicably popular - dude, he's like, totally the North East's Keanu Reeves.

CAPE MACLEAR, Malawi — Sixty men crowd in under the thatched roof of the Chiwaya Sports Club to watch the inauguration of Barack Obama on the only television in this village of 15,000 people.
It is hot and still on the shores of Lake Malawi and the air is filled with anticipation. Everyone is waiting for Obama.
"He is an African hero!" shouts Willie Jari, a young patron.
Obama's speech is slightly late and the men are impatient. Bill Clinton appeared on the screen and some of the men start cheering.
"That is not Obama, why cheer?" shouts one fellow. "He is just the messenger of Obama!" shouts another to raucous laughter.
The mood is celebratory and friendly. After the inauguration speech the men spill out under a large baobab tree and dance in the street.
"Obama! Obama! Obama!" they chant, bouncing between the huts. Other
people pick up the chant like an echo.
Next door the Chiwaya Bar is doing a busy trade. For hours whoops and hollers can be heard over the sound of Lake Malawi's waves lapping against the sand.
Steven Matewele, 20, has some serious thoughts about the importance of Obama's inauguration.
"This is a historic thing for us", he explains, while his buddies dance and hug each other
in the background.
"It feels like Africans and Americans have come closer to each other. We have now shown the world that we can also lead others," says Matewele.
"There are three things that Africans like Obama can teach the world. First, you must have faith in your heart," he says. "Second you must depend on yourself, and not look to others to always assist you.
"Third, always be friendly and make sure that you make more friends than enemies in the world," he concludes.
Then his mood shifts from serious to festive and Matewele laughs and dances away into the warm evening.

Although the floor is a little less dusty since this store moved from an ancient LoDo warehouse to a new space on Santa Fe, Brandon's basic business concept remains unchanged: Jam as much stuff as possible into the building and see what goes out the door. On any given day, the jam could include large sofas covered with fake leopard skin, big porcelain bowls decorated with grapes, peculiar imitation Impressionist paintings, endless end tables...you get the idea. No matter what you're looking for, we guarantee you'll find something else that you simply can't live without at Brandon.
There are any number of travel agencies and Web sites out there willing to explain the joys of hacking through some fetid South American rainforest. When you need the real dope, though, head to the Jefferson County Health Department's International Health Clinic. There, Janet Ballantyne, the take-no-microbes registered nurse who runs the joint, will give you the lowdown on -- and vaccines for -- the tubercular-ridden, Japanese-encephalitis-infested corner of the world you thought you wanted to visit (until now). An office visit is $15 plus the cost of the vaccines; a full "be scared -- be very scared" consultation is $50.
Tired of viewing old pot shards and ethnic weaving products in tasteful displays behind glass? Time to pay a call on Window to the World Museum, a private museum-in-a-mall that holds a globe-girdling collection of memorabilia and souvenirs from its owner/curator's adventures. Sue Koenig taught in Jefferson County schools for twenty years, traveling on her summers off. But in 1984 she decided she wanted something entirely different, so she signed on with an oil company to teach in Saudi Arabia. But when she arrived, she discovered a single woman couldn't check into a hotel room alone, much less run a classroom. Koenig eventually found a job arranging and leading tours outside of the country, and didn't return to the States for good for another twelve years. Today, she keeps busy tending to her 44,000-pound collection of keepsakes from 108 countries, which she shows to groups-- by appointment only.
Doug and Barbara Crispin managed to grow African violets in the tundra. That should tell you something about the crop at their shop in Englewood, the Violet Showcase, the only store of its kind in the country. The Violet Showcase is packed with new and unusual varieties of the world's most popular houseplant, African violets in pink, purple, white, red and all colors in between. The Crispins grow and sell flowers in the store, stock everything from grow lights to leaf support rings to self-watering pots, and ship orders nationwide. "It's an odd little business," Doug says of the 31-year-old shop. "We're basically a plant farm, roadside stand, mail-order company and retail shop all in one."
Located in the new, improved University Hills complex, Timbuk Toys still manages to exude the feel of a neighborhood store. Featuring an attentive staff that obviously enjoys children, it offers a versatile selection and wide price range for a relatively small space. Mostly, though, it's just fun to go to, fully lacking the plasticized overkill of a big-box toy store. From Beanie Babies to tea-party dishes, hobby horses to wooden train sets, the store has something for everyone under the age of twelve. Better yet, it's still a pleasure to visit for anyone over the age of twelve.
If it's getting more and more difficult to call great-aunt Edna's Morris chair an "heirloom," perhaps its time for a touchup. Be kind to your mold-crusted chair. Or throw it away and start from scratch. Little more than a hole-in-the-wall with eclectic collectibles on South Pearl Street, Yesterday's Child, which stands by the motto of "My Chair or Yours," applies a personal touch to the art of refurbishing furniture. Don't just sit there!

Perhaps Rivera, 35, was finally beginning to show his age. Perhaps all of the innings and all of the saves were finally taking a toll on his crackling fastball and diminishing his brilliance.
By the end of the season, though, the debate on sports-talk radio had turned to very different topics. Rivera was so resilient and so effective in his 11th major league season that he fueled the argument that he is the greatest closer of all time, and that he deserved consideration for the AL Cy Young Award.
Yankees manager Joe Torre puts the native of Panama at the top of his list when he considers the finest closers, past and present.
"I've had some good ones," Torre says. "Mariano, what sets him apart is how long he's been doing it and he hasn't changed who he is and what kind of pitcher he is.
The skinny: Gordon has regained his eighth-inning touch, but the depth of this crew is questionable.
The skinny: Still the best. After early stumble, Rivera converted 31 consecutive save chances. Playoff-proven?: Rivera's record (32 postseason saves) speaks for itself; unfortunately for the Yankees, so does Gordon's (9.35 ERA in two ALCS appearances). Telling statistic: Rivera retired the first batter he faced 83% of the time this season. Gas tank: Half empty. Rivera is less effective as postseason closer when he reaches 78 regular season innings as he did in 2001 and '04, when he took key playoff losses. Gordon (79 games) nearly matched his career-high 80 appearances of '04, a workload that preceded a playoff pratfall. Opponent's take "His cutter is unbelievable. It cuts in about 12 inches toward a lefty. It doesn't allow a lefty to extend (his arms). Right-handers have a better chance against his cutter than lefties." - Carl Crawford, Devil Rays outfielder, on Mariano Rivera
"To do it under the scrutiny we have in New York makes it that much more significant."
It is typical of Rivera, who has more saves than any reliever in AL history with 379 and ranks fifth overall, that he will not argue in his behalf.
"I always wanted to do good," he says. "I don't know about the best."
As for individual honors, they have never driven him.
"It's about team, not about myself," he says. "When the team does good, I will be able to do a lot of things."
But it was Rivera who put the exclamation point on so many triumphs when the Yankees dominated in the late 1990s, producing four World Series titles from 1996-2000. And he's still the nerveless pitcher asked to record the final critical outs as the Yankees overcame a patched-together starting rotation to reach the postseason for the 11th consecutive autumn.
"Four world championships, the playoff run, without Mariano we wouldn't be talking about that," catcher Jorge Posada says.
Rivera's hair is noticeably thinner than when he broke into the major leagues in 1995. Otherwise, he looks to be the same imposing right-hander, still able to bring the heat with surgical precision.
"He relies a lot on location," Posada says. "He's been able to put the ball where he wants. That's the biggest thing. Obviously, the movement on his fastball makes him tough on left-handed and right-handed hitters."
Rivera responded to his season-opening adversity against Boston by converting 31 consecutive saves from April 9 to Aug. 11, the longest streak of his career. He put together 23 scoreless innings from May 9 until July 4.
An intense workout program and a keen knowledge of hitters partly explains Rivera's longevity. He also points to his determination and his clean lifestyle.
"You want to be good, you just have to give everything you've got," he says. "You have to work out, you have to watch what you eat, what you drink."
Posada feels blessed to be Rivera's batterymate for so long.
"He has to be the best reliever ever," Posada says. "You have to say it. You have to see it to believe it."

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
Price and breakfast. Nice people
It's a great location. Just off the bus route if you don't want to walk to campus. 10 min walk to WSU. Being just steps off Main means kitschy shopping and great dining are right outside your door. Added bonus was the continental breakfast. Could use an update but is clean and the beds are comfortable.
Although we had a reservation there was no room ready for us when we tried to check in at 10:30 pm. We had to wait 30 minutes.
The price, proximity to U of I, and that they're pet friendly Only two flimsy pillows, stains on sheets/comforter, paper thin walls and squeaky floors
Clean and comfortable. For the price, you can't beat it. Not nearly as sketchy as it seemed in the photos. No real complaints.
The location is great can't beat it only because of the city of Pullman itself The room didn't smell the best nor was the customer service too friendly
The room was adequate for my needs. Wi-Fi was free, and the bed was comfortable enough for my short stay. The woman at the front desk when I checked in was very nice. The room was very dated, with uncomfortable chairs. There was no phone or clock, or even a notice about the check out time. Other than Wi-Fi and a TV, there were none of the amenities one expects at even the most basic motel. The room also had a distinctly musty smell.
Location - close to campus and downtown. Parking lot is horrible. Rooms need updating. The cost was so far out of proportion for what it was.
