Highland Park, Ill. three star ranked inside linebacker prospect Scott Smith (6-foot-2, 225 pounds) is always on the move. Smith will take an unofficial visit to the University of Notre Dame on Friday night, yet Smith will also be back on the road come Saturday afternoon.
"Originally I had hoped to make my official visit to Notre Dame this weekend," Smith said. "I have my own basketball games on Friday and Saturday night, so I'm just making an unofficial visit instead."
Smith explains his weekend journey.
"I'm playing in my high school basketball game on Friday night, then my Dad and I are heading to South Bend right after the game is over with. We'll get into South Bend around 1AM, so we'll stay overnight then have breakfast with the coaches at Notre Dame. I'm going to go to the basketball game at noon on Saturday and I'll watch maybe a half, then I'll need to leave. My team has a game in Milwaukee on Saturday night, and I need to be there."
Smith is hoping to fit in an official visit sometime in January, but also knows that his schedule will make this hard to accomplish.
"I really wanted to meet the coaches and the players at Notre Dame, especially since this is a big recruiting weekend for the team. I'm going to make this unofficial visit and I'm excited to finally meet the coaches and the players and recruits in person. I've also been calling a few guys who are interested in Notre Dame and I'm trying to help out Notre Dame in anyway that I can. I'm hoping to get an official visit in sometime in January."

Puthiya Niyamam, the Mammmootty-Nayantara starrer social thriller hits the theatres on February 12th, Friday. The movie is written and directed by popular writer-director AK Sajan.
Reportedly, Puthiya Niyamam revolves around the intercaste couple, Adv. Louis Pothan and Vasuki Iyer. Louis, who belongs to an orthodox Christian background and Vasuki is from a traditional Brahmin family.
The movie will have Baby Ananya, Aju Varghese, Jayaraj Warrier, SN Swamy, Sadiq, Vinay Forrt, Rachana Narayanankutty, Sheelu Abraham, Sreelatha Namboothiri, etc in the supporting roles.
Here are a few things which audiences expect from Puthiya Niyamam:
Mammootty-Nayantara's Crackling Chemistry
Nayantara is undoubtedly one of the best leading ladies of Mammootty. The audiences are undoubtely looking forward to watch them together onscreen.
An Out-and-out Thriller
From the trailer, it is evident that the movie is an intense thriller, which deals with the marital relationships and a murder mystery. It is another factor which raises the expectations.
Mammootty's Advocate Role
Mammootty has always set the screen on fire with his electrifying performances, especially when he plays an advocate. Audiences are expecting the megastar to recreate the magic once again.
Nayantara's Flawless Performance
It has already been revealed that the leading lady has more screen space than Mammootty's character in the movie. We all know that Nayantara is a brilliant actress and hope that she will play her part perfectly.
AK Sajan Back With A Thriller
The most important factor which makes Puthiya Niyamam promising. We hope that the creator of the outstanding thrillers like Dhruvam and Chinthamani Kolacase, will never disappoint us.

Most Helpful Guy
Alright, first things first. Understand beauty is subjective and varies from guy to guy, girl to girl (if you a les). I've have friends who's GFs are like 2-4s in my eyes but to them they are 8-9s. Tastes vary, nothing is set in stone.
I rate women up to a 20, 10 points for Physical, 10 for personality. Since i dont know you (although i can clearly tell you have low self esteem if your asking on a site like this how you look instead of trusting yourself), i can't judge your personality.
Id give yah a solid 7-+, your picture ain't that good tho. Your skinny, pale, you got a solid body but no way to judge it for sure, so you could vary to a 6 or 8. Your face alone is a 7 in my eyes.
Again tho, its all subjective.00|00|0

Sound Off: Prince Caspian - What Did You Think?
by Alex Billington
May 16, 2008
Now that you've seen it, what did you think? Up next in May's back-to-back summer blockbuster schedule is The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian. This sequel follows 2004's The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, but this time the land of Narnia is a "much more savage place." Director Andrew Adamson is back and so is the primary cast, but it's a new world and a new story. For fans of the first movie, how does this one compare? For fans of the book, how well does this one live up to the text? For those who hated the first movie, if you've seen this sequel, did it surpass your expectations? Sound off below, leave your thoughts, and let us know what you thought of The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian.
To fuel the fire, I will have to say I thoroughly enjoyed Prince Caspian! I really did not like the first Chronicles of Narnia at all. It was a cheesy and boring fantasy film that really couldn't even compare to Lord of the Rings. However, Prince Caspian is successfully darker, grittier, and much more entertaining. Not only are Peter Dinklage and Warwick Davis the two greatest small actors in the world, but I thought everyone else did a great job as well. The action, visual effects, and production design were all top notch and the story was energetic and paced perfectly. To be honest, I was shocked to find I liked it, given how low my expectations were, but that's what happens when the director knows what he is doing.
What did you think of Prince Caspian? Any good or boring and flawed?

With A-level results due on Thursday morning, tens of thousands of teenagers will soon learn if they have a place at one of London's universities.
For parents considering buying a property for the three-year stint, a new study of the capital's top 12 universities reveals which present the best deals for buyers compared with renting.
Parents of freshers arriving at the London School of Economics get the worst news, according to the research from Chestertons.
The estate agent found that the average cost of a nearby property in Islington, location of the LSE's main campus, is £646,180 — making it one of the most expensive options. However, hanging on to a property could produce a profit. The area has seen an impressive 45 per cent price growth in just three years.
Renting a room near the campus would cost an average £159 a week — more than £8,000 a year or £24,000 for a typical three-year degree. The study assumes that the student whose parents have shelled out for a property for them to live in while at university not only saves this money, but would be able to rent any spare rooms to friends.

30/30 The university areas that get top marks for return on investment
For parents considering buying a property for the three-year stint, a new study of the capital's top 12 universities reveals which present the best deals for buyers compared with renting.
Read more
Another important factor is that LSE students command an average salary of £29,968 within a year of graduating, more than any of the other universities surveyed.
Queen Mary, University of London in Tower Hamlets took joint second place. Average local prices are lower at £426,684, up 47 per cent between 2013 and this year. Weekly rent is £147, almost as high as Islington, but on graduating the average salary is £23,961.
Students at Goldsmiths, University of London in Lewisham, which tied with Queen Mary, would need to raise £357,304 for a property in the borough, where prices have shot up 64 per cent in the last three years. Weekly rent is an average £102 but the average graduating salary is only £25,000.
Caspar Bell, research analyst at Chestertons, says: "Three or four years at a top university is an expensive business, with the costs of tuition fees adding tens of thousands of pounds. When you factor in the cost of living in London, that figure could easily more than double.
"For students with families willing to invest it makes sense to buy, saving money on rent, making a capital growth, and additionally getting some income from the spare room.
"Raising a deposit may be tricky for some but there are Help to Buy savings products and shared-ownership schemes that undergraduate investors could qualify for. With low mortgages rates, too, it really is worth considering buying a property to live in as opposed to renting. Our calculations may also prove helpful to investors looking to capitalise on the student rental market, as it shows entry costs ranked against rental yields, and is a useful guide as to likely demand from student tenants and price growth over time."
Chestertons also carried out the study UK-wide, and found that Edinburgh, Bristol and Brighton were Britain's "most investable" university towns, beating Oxford and Cambridge into fifth and seventh place respectively.

It is related that a man came to Ja'far As-saadiq (RA) and said: " I dreamt that Allah gave me a piece of iron and a sip of vinegar. What is the Interpretation of this dream?"
The Imaam replied: "Iron depicts hardships, for Allah says in Qur'aan : And we have sent iron wherein is material for mighty war. But it is possible that your children may learn this tradeoff Dawood (AS) (for he was a blacksmith by trade). As for vinegar, it means you will be afflicted with a disease from sometime, at the same time acquiring abundant wealth. Thereafter, if Allah gives you death, we will be pleased with you and forgive all your sins, past and future.

I will be going on the Freedom of the Seas for the first time leaving out of Miami, FL in January. I have been looking at Miami hotels and notice that prices are not cheap. I am debating wether to stay at the airport and take a shuttle from there or stay closer to the port and deal with transportion. Any ideas on a good clean hotel to stay in without breaking the bank and do any of them offer free shuttle services to the port???
Hi wlcox6801, welcome to Cruise-Chat. If you'll look a little further down the main page, there is a section titled Port Hotels and Transfers. By using your find feature, in the upper left hand corner, and typing in Miami, all the posts will be pulled up relative to Miami Hotels/Transportation. Best wishes for a wonderful cruise and once again, welcome aboard!
hi we stayed in the intercontinental on bayside, this hotel is perfect, its right next to the bayside shopping and restaurants. You can even see the port as its just on the other side of the bay.
Just got back from the FOS. We stayed at the Holiday Inn & it's right across the street from Bayside. We did a little shopping, had dinner & listened to a Latin band.
Stayed at Intercontinental through RC reservation. LOVE staying at Bayside. Lots of activity, a 14 dollar taxi ride to South Beach, and the great view of ships when you wake up in morning! So exciting!
We have ressies to stay at the Holiday inn for our Jan '09 cruise. We booked it because of there will be things to do instead of just staying at our hotel. It said that a taxi from hotel to port is around $5.00.

Jolean's Hominy and Sausage
Recipe by Stacky5
This was one of those staple meals that Mom came up with when funds were low...It's just simple, cheap, comort food and it's the only way my siblings and I would ever eat hominy...I still love it! (NOTE: I add 1 tsp. parsley flakes to it when I season with salt & pepper, but that's not part of the original recipe...AND, I prefer to use Sage flavored sausage.)
Top Review by papersouls
Made this twice now! Easy and a hit with everyone. Did add some ketchup to the top as other reviewers suggested, and I thought it was even better with the addition. Will definitely make again.
See Discussion:5 Reviews
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 lb ground sausage (Maple flavor or Sage flavor, according to your preference)
- 1⁄2 onion, finely diced
- 1⁄2 tablespoon minced garlic
- 2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans yellow hominy, drained (or white)
- 1 tablespoon butter
- salt & pepper
Directions See How It's Made
- In a large skillet, brown the sausage and cut into chunks. Remove sausage and drain grease but leave drippings in the pan.
- Saute onion and garlic in butter in the same pan with the sausage drippings. Add hominy and cook over medium heat stirring frequently, until heated through. Sprinkle with salt & pepper to taste.
- Add sausage back to the skillet for about 5-10 minutes, stirring frequently until heated through.
- Serve with big, fluffy biscuits with butter and honey! YUM!
- Oh, just a NOTE: My brother and my Dad always mixed in some catsup with theirs -- I used to put some on the side and dip the sausage into it -- Mom didn't care much for that when we added catsup, though! LOL!

Born in 1985, in an era of challenges and self-surpassing, Sagamore represents the fragrance for "fine gentlemen". Launched in a black bottle with wide and reassuring shoulders, Sagamore, was then accompanied by a communication created by Serge Gainsbourg who shot the advertisement's black and white photography.
The utterly timeless fragrance opens with a blend of icy spices (cardamom), distinguished citrus fruit (bergamot) and iconic rustic notes (lavender).
Once again, Lancome has dared to add flowers to an essence for men: jasmine and geranium refreshed with astringent ginger. However, this noble woody fragrance, which could complement either a poet explorer or a gentleman in the forest, offers more than mere freshness.
It takes its audience into the shadowy undergrowth where the damp ground merges with dry bark and dark foliage. A magnificient scent with an overdose of vetivier, moss and benzoin notes - an essential rediscovery.
- Cardamom
- Bergamot
- Lavender
The bottle is a pared-down, contemporary reinterpretation of the early 1960s glass bottle designed by artist Georges Delhomme, a key figure in the creation of Lancôme's first fragrances. Transparent and refined, it allows the preciously coloured elixirs encapsulated within to be exalted by light. A most precious case dressed in fine golden lines, an object of luxury and signature French refinement.

Meatloaf. Such a simple, homey dish. But for all that, it doesn't mean it can't taste good, and even be pretty healthy, to boot. I am pretty sure that every cook in the US has his or her own version. After tweaking mine for a long time, this is the one I have settled on (at least for the time being) Give it a try! I hope you like it as much as we do.
This recipe makes one 8.5 x 4.5 inch loaf, but I like to use the little 2.5 x 5.5 pans, and I get three of those from this recipe.
2 Slices Whole Wheat Bread
1 1/4 Pounds Ground Turkey
1 Small Onion
2 Garlic Cloves
1 Celery Stalk
1 Carrot
1/4 Cup Parsley Leaves
1 Egg
1/2 Cup Ketchup, Divided
1 tsp Dijon Mustard
Salt and Pepper
2 tsp Cider Vinegar
1 Tbsp Brown Sugar
Preheat Oven to 375
Tear the bread into pieces and put in a food processor. Pulse or Process until crumbs form, and put the crumbs in a bowl. Add the ground turkey to the breadcrumbs
Cut the onion, celery, and carrot into about 1-inch pieces. Put them in the food processor with the peeled garlic cloves and parsley leaves. Process until very finely chopped. Add the veggies to the breadcrumbs and ground turkey. Add 1/4 cup ketchup, the dijon mustard, the egg, and salt and pepper to taste. Mix up thoroughly with your hands and put into a loaf pan or pans.
Combine the remaining 1/4 cup ketchup with the cider vinegar and brown sugar and brush the mixture over your meatloaf. If you have a probe thermometer, insert it into the loaf (or one of the loaves) being careful not to touch the pan. Put the pan (or pans) on a baking sheet or a sheet of aluminum foil to catch drips. Bake in the 375 oven to an internal temperature of 160. For the smaller loaves this takes around 45 minutes. For the larger one, closer to 60 minutes. Let the meatloaf rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.

About: Princess Alexandra Hospital (Harlow) Princess Alexandra Hospital (Harlow) Harlow CM20 1QX
Posted by Melinda Brett
My four year old son is asthmatic. We visited PAH A&E for the first time a few months ago when he had his first ever asthma attack. I left a glowing review on here and sent a Thank You note to the hospital. On Tues last week my son had another episode. This time he went from perfectly fine eating his lunch at nursery to total hysteria, saying he had pain in his tummy, asking for his puffer, going blue around his mouth and black around his eyes, couldn't stop crying and just saying over and over "help me mummy, please help me, I'm scared". After trying for over half an hour to calm him and work out what was going on, only for the panic and breathing difficulties to worsen, I rang our doctors to be told that we could go on a waiting list for a call back but they couldn't give any indication whatsoever of how long it would be. My son was in pain, frightened and struggling with his breathing so I told them not to bother with the call back and that I would take him to A&E. On the way to the hospital my son went quiet. I could see he was breathing ok but wasn't sure if he had passed out or fallen asleep from exhaustion. I was only around the corner from the hospital now. I told myself I will be carrying him in in a few minutes. The parking at the hospital was non-existent. Everyone driving in circles and fighting for spaces. There wasn't even anywhere to park illegally that wouldn't be blocking access for others. After driving around for an hour I left the hospital, parked in Sainsbury's down the road, carried my son into the store and asked for the postcode so that my husband could collect us and take us around to A&E to drop us off. My son woke up and was calmer than before but still very scared and we still didn't have a clue what was going on. Outside Sainsbury's a number of people took one look at us and offered to call 999 for an ambulance. I told them not to worry, that my husband was on his way. When we got to a&e we were greeted by a female nurse. I explained about what happened at nursery and subsequent hysteria, tummy pain and breathing problems. She looked half heartedly at my son's stomach. Didn't touch it at all. Didn't look at or listen to his chest. Her reply was to ask if we had tried to see the doctor. She was clearly annoyed that I had come to A&E instead of waiting for the doctor's callback. I explained that both my son and I were scared and didn't want to want an indefinite period for a doctor to call us back. I explained that I had had to give my son a much larger than usual dose of his puffer to calm his breathing down and that his breathing problems had seemed to be getting worse. Her next question was to ask me whether social services were involved with us (No!) and then asked my son who had upset him at nursery. He replied no one, clutching his stomach. She ushered us out to the waiting room and told us to collect a urine sample. We were then ignored completely for several hours until we left. Untreated. Uncared for. In tears.
Response from Princess Alexandra Hospital 3 years ago
Dear Ms Brett, You've clearly had a horrible experience. I can't imagine how and your son must have felt during that period trying to find a space to park, trying to get a way to get to the hospital. I have children and I have been in the same position, I completely sympathise. We know the parking situation is very difficult right now and are looking at longer term solution to this, I can only apologise that this is not something we have yet managed to resolve. Your description of the attitude of staff means I need to escalate this today to the Clinical Director and Head of Nursing for Urgent and Ambulatory Care and I will be ensuring someone responds immediately. I am assuming as you have given your name that you want to be contacted and so we will be doing so as soon as possible. If you want to initiate contact yourself you can contact me throughout the day in the Patient Experience Team, Monday to Friday on 01279 827084, simply ask for the Manager of the team.

Understanding German business culture
Expats working in Germany may struggle in the new workplace or feel overwhelmed by a barrage of German regulations. Sylvia Schroll-Machl offers advice to ease the transition into working in Germany.
Expats working in Germany may find themselves struggling to find their feet in the new workplace. German customs such as the mysterious lunchtime greeting 'mahlzeit' can leave foreigners confused, and German companies, with their government-imposed regulations and all-powerful works councils, function by very different rules to their counterparts elsewhere.
Germans are often described by non-Germans as having the following qualities: sensible, reserved, punctual, precise, cold, target-oriented, arrogant, sure of themselves, obedient, disciplined, plan-oriented, authoritative, stiff, unfeeling, direct, bureaucratic, professional, correct, self-assured, petty, highly orderly, strong, humourless, principled, reliable, perfectionist, organised.
This list is made up of stereotypes and/or prejudices which lie in the eye of the beholder and reflect reality to varying degrees. Nevertheless, we can identify specific behaviours through which we can distinguish members of the German culture from those of other cultures.
Behind these stereotypes stand cultural standards which determine the behaviour of people within the cultural group. These firmly-anchored values, developed through the ages, are closely-associated with positive feelings for members of the culture. They need no reflection, are taken for granted and are accepted by all members of the culture as 'right'.
Cultural standards describe characteristics on an abstract and generalised level. They relate to the elements which are common to a particular nation. An individual German can, of course, significantly diverge from these standards. However, the majority of Germans adhere to them, which explains the consistent impressions foreign business partners have of Germans.
Understanding German business culture
The most important German cultural standards are:
Focus on the task
The task is the central and dominant issue in all business interactions and also determines the style of communication. The relationship level assumes a more subordinate role in professional life.Germans usually think that operating at the task level should form the basis of all business contacts. The next cultural standard is closely related to this aspect.
Value of structures and rules
In German companies, there are countless rules, regulations, procedures and processes. German business people prefer contracts and written agreements of all types. The existence of these things and their tight and consistent application, the adherence to them and the rigid consequences, or even penalties, for not complying with them are in stark contrast to other cultures. On the one hand, this underscores a consistency and high degree of mutual obligation. On the other hand, this principle leaves little room for flexibility and individual determination.
Reliability and avoidance of uncertainty (rule-orientation, internalised focus of control)
Consistency and reliability are seen as especially important German traits. Members of the German culture have a high tendency to avoid uncertainty. They therefore develop binding rules and structures in order to foster certainty in dealings with each other.
German punctuality (time-planning)
The approaches described above have a strong impact on the relationship with regard to time. Appointments are precisely planned and it is expected that times which are set are adhered to. Punctuality is a matter of good manners.
Separation of private and public spheres
Germans exercise a strict separation between the various spheres of their life. They clearly vary their behaviour with other people depending on the sphere of their life (private or business) in which they have contact with an individual as well as the closeness of the relationship (business partner or friend). This frequently leads to Germans in business or public life being seen by members of other cultures as very remote and cold and even as overtly unfriendly.
Directness of communication
Germans communicate very directly and explicitly. They formulate important statements directly and openly and without 'window dressing'. They can appear rude and threatening without meaning to or even noticing it. In return, they do not easily recognise and respond to verbal subtleties such as indirect hints, messages 'between the lines' and many non-verbal signals. They can therefore often miss the decisive content of an interaction.
Culturally-specific behaviour can be explained on the basis of cultural standards. This can aid in understanding what would otherwise be irritating, unusual and strange events. This knowledge is therefore an important basis for constructive cooperation between members of different cultures.

Why do you people associate honesty with a lack of sensitivity in fact that person is very compassionate by telling you the truth you should thank them not get offended.

I have to say a generalized article... However as HR manager of expats for a German company, it is all true in terms of behavior. I might add for all their directness, they consider you rude if you are frank or direct with them. Very petty in their behavior. Interesting read.
Barbara posted:
Even in a university setting, there is a strong separation between public and private time. I even find myself having to make excuses as to why I would call a (German) colleague after working hours.
Of course, there are some aspects of stereotypes, but there is always a bit of truth there, as well. Having been an expat in a number of countries, I would say that we have all found some activities annoying in a country that we have lived in. However, one adapts to the situation and takes the matter as it comes; there is no point getting upset, but rather just being culturally aware and sensitive makes you enjoy your life (and your host) country more!

Sorry, but that is the biggest rubbish I have ever heard of:-)
There are extremely target driven companies in England as well for example. In times of globalism statements like this essay are a slightly little bit over dated.
If you do not agree with the ideologies of the company your work for just change jobs!

Germans are direct, fine, [edited by moderator]. The Dutch are direct but manage to not make the other person feel like they have done something wrong, or do not belong. How to handle this, other than developing the same insensitivity as them? I was not socialized this way!

Boy, 12, Is Killed When Gun Goes Off
Published: September 24, 1993
A 12-year-old boy who was on his way to the corner grocery store for his mother was shot and killed Wednesday night when a gun went off in the lobby of his Washington Heights apartment house, the police said.
Witnesses told the police that the boy, Jovanny Santiago, was shot accidentally by a man who had been standing nearby, tinkering with the slide of his semiautomatic handgun, said Lieut. Raymond O'Donnell, a police spokesman.
Lieutenant O'Donnell said the boy's father, Daniel Sanchez Frias, was killed last year after he and his son testified at the trial of a man who was convicted for murdering a family friend. The father's death was considered a revenge killing, but Lieutenant O'Donnell said that it was not believed that Jovanny's death was connected to his testimony at the trial.
The shooting occurred on a block familiar with guns and stray bullets. Kiko Garcia was killed by Officer Michael O'Keefe on July 3 last year in front of Jovanny's apartment building at 515 West 168th Street. The shooting touched off disturbances in Washington Heights.
And Wednesday night as detectives searched for the weapon used to kill the youth they found another gun beneath a radiator in the lobby of the building.

Retroperitoneal fibrosis is a rare condition characterized by the presence of inflammatory and fibrous retroperitoneal tissue that often encases the ureters or abdominal organs [1]. This disorder was initially called Ormond's disease [2], but it has also been referred to as periureteritis fibrosa, periureteritis plastica, chronic periureteritis, sclerosing retroperitoneal granuloma, and fibrous retroperitonitis.
Retroperitoneal fibrosis may be idiopathic or secondary to other causes. Idiopathic retroperitoneal fibrosis is an immune-mediated disease, which can be either isolated, associated with other autoimmune diseases, or arise in the context of a multifocal fibroinflammatory disorder, named immunoglobulin G4-related disease (IgG4-RD). Although there are no standardized criteria of classification, idiopathic retroperitoneal fibrosis is actually part of the disease spectrum of chronic periaortitis, a condition characterized by inflammation and fibrosis surrounding the aorta and iliac arteries [1,3,4]. Chronic periaortitis includes inflammatory abdominal aortic aneurysms and perianeurysmal retroperitoneal fibrosis, two entities that are grouped together because of similar clinical and histologic characteristics, although pathogeneses and epidemiology may differ [5]. It has also been proposed that chronic periaortitis is a form of large-vessel vasculitis, especially in cases that also show thoracic aorta involvement [6].
The etiology, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, and diagnostic evaluation of retroperitoneal fibrosis will be reviewed here. The treatment of retroperitoneal fibrosis is presented separately (see "Treatment of retroperitoneal fibrosis"). Other causes of urinary tract obstruction and hydronephrosis are also reviewed elsewhere. (See "Clinical manifestations and diagnosis of urinary tract obstruction and hydronephrosis".)
Retroperitoneal fibrosis is a rare disease. In one Finnish study, the incidence of the idiopathic form of the disease was estimated from hospital discharge data to be 0.1 per 100,000 person-years and its prevalence 1.4 per 100,000 inhabitants [7]. However, in a subsequent population-based study performed in the Netherlands, the reported annual incidence was approximately 10-fold higher (ie, 1.3 per 100,000 inhabitants per year) [8]. The latter study probably provides a more accurate estimate of the incidence given the complexity of the diagnosis and requirement for prolonged follow-up that would not have been possible in a study of hospital discharge codes [9].
Idiopathic disease most commonly occurs in individuals 40 to 60 years of age [5,8,10,11]. Most studies have suggested a 2 to 3:1 male-to-female predominance [5,8,10,11], although this is not reported in all studies [4]. One study has suggested that chronic periaortitis, which includes idiopathic retroperitoneal fibrosis, is associated with the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) allele HLA-DRB1 03 [12].

"Game changer" is a term you hear often when people talk about how technology has changed their industry.
I'm a big believer in checklists—an opinion that's apparently shared by the medical community. According to a study published online by the New England Journal of Medicine in January, adopting a surgical safety checklist (PDF) has been shown to reduce deaths and complications by more than a third.

 From The Wall Street Journal:

 "Researchers collected data on nearly 8,000 patients who were operated on in eight hospitals scattered around the world. As a basis for comparison, about half the patients underwent surgery before the checklist was adopted. The death rate fell from 1.5% to 0.8%, and the rate of inpatient complications fell from 11% to 7%."

 As a pilot, I'm always aware that while flying and on the ground, lives depend on me not missing any steps or getting them out of order. Make sure propeller area is clear before starting engine. Landing gear extended before touching down on runway. (It's amazing how many pilots don't use a checklist and execute wheels-up landings.) There is no doubt in my mind that US Airways Flight 1549 would have ended in a disaster had the pilots not executed their emergency engine failure and water-ditching checklists.

 ESR estimates that 80 percent of sales opportunities are lost either due to ineffective qualification or ineffective planning. Every sales plan I've ever written has had a checklist. What's a sales plan without a list of events, activities, calls, meetings, and tactics?

 A top sales rep I mentored a while back almost missed his number one year because he didn't have a checklist. Here's what happened:

 He was selected at a division of a Fortune 500. The VP of manufacturing was his sponsor. The solution was $1.5 million of ERP software and related services. During a conversation about the opportunity, I asked him whether the appropriation was on the agenda for approval at the next board meeting—the last of his company's fiscal year. The silence on the other end of the phone was my answer. "I've never forgotten to check that before," he said. I believed him…but he forgot this time. I held on as he called his sponsor on his cell phone. The item had not been added to the board's agenda for that next meeting. A quickly executed series of calls got the item on the agenda and the rep got his deal.

 If you don't yet have a formal, documented sales process, a checklist is a simple way to instill some discipline into a salesperson or sales team. There is very useful technology that will support building a series of pre-ordered events and steps for a sales process and for monitoring execution. But in the absence of a tool like that, an Excel-based checklist will get the job done.

 When you think about it, the checklist is nothing more than a to-do list. The difference is, the checklist is built for multiple sales opportunities. Here's one you can download with my compliments; it was used as an example in my book, How Winners Sell. It's very simple, but will get you moving in the right direction if this is a challenge for your sales team.

 If you don't know whether your sales team needs a formal checklist as part of their standard sales planning regimen, ask them, "What are the next five things that need to be done, in order, to advance this sale?" The answer will reveal a lot.

 Dave Stein is the author of How Winners Sell and CEO and Founder of ES Research Group (www.ESResearch.com) in West Tisbury, Mass.

The Mountainview School in working-class Dublin boasts a brightly festooned room brimming with paper flowers and Renaissance posters. There, in an evening class, "An Introduction to Italian," come Aiden Dunne, the supervisor, Signora, the professoressa, and 30 or so students, whose hopes and dreams are bound up in the Tuesday and Thursday lessons.
Aiden Dunne has been passed over for headmaster of the school, and his family is falling apart. He desperately needs the evening class to be a success to restore his self-respect. Nora O'Donoghue, "Signora," followed the man she loved to Italy and waited 23 years for him, never faltering in her love. Signora, needy in a different way, will be the teacher, and together she and Aiden will conduct the class.
The students couldn't be more different. There is Bill Burke, a young bank clerk who goes to the classes hoping he might be considered for a job in international banking and that his spendthrift girlfriend, who has agreed to go to class with him, will have fewer opportunities to waste their money. Kathy Clark works too hard at school. She joins the Italian class for relaxation. There is Lou, whose wife Suzy Sullivan, has no idea why her husband is studying Italian; Laddy, the hotel porter, who's thought of by family and friends as slow and dim; and Connie, the society hostess who has an oddly empty calendar. For all of the students the thought of a trip to Italy when the course has been completed involves a different kind of drama. And by the time they are ready to set out on the journey, each one's life has changed utterly.

Salt Creek
Pollution and ecological abuse in Oak Brook, IL
"Eat and drink from the provision of Allah , and do not commit abuse on the earth, spreading corruption." Quran 2:60
"Let us make humankind in our image...subdue and have dominion" -Genesis 1:26, 28
"Krishna is all that is" Gita 7:19
"Gone, gone beyond, gone completely beyond. Awake." -Heart Sutra
The first major key learning we found was that scripture held the possibility of directing human agency and power however, the process of reading the text did not inherently avoid the need for hermeneutics. Different scripture texts involved different hermeneutics. Ultimately reading the living documents of the creek and the humans agents is in play.
Who gets to define 'order' and 'chaos'? Humans? Priestly authors? Bodhisatvas / Prophets/ God?
Sometimes the meaning of chaos, subdue and dominate may be regarded as positive or negative.

You can only shut down compromised accounts if you can see them. Illuminate insider threats and stolen credentials with User and Entity Behavior Analytics (UEBA). Catch imposters, identify privilege abuse
and stop user-based threats.
Don't let threatening users fly under your radar. Arm yourself with User and Entity Behavior Analytics (UEBA), which gives you extensive visibility into insider threats, compromised accounts, and privilege abuse. LogRhythm Labs regularly releases new UEBA content, including behavioral profiling and peer group analytics, statistical analytics, and advanced correlation.
Malicious insiders cause damaging, headline-making cyber breaches and acts of sabotage. Monitor for data exfiltration, sabotage, policy violations, and other dangerous activity.
Breaches usually involve multiple user accounts. Distinguish between legitimate accounts and compromised accounts by identifying anomalous activity. Expose the imposter before a breach occurs.
Your IT team has the keys to kingdom. Malicious parties can often infiltrate organizations by bribing or extorting an insider. Spot privilege abuse and account compromise before damage occurs.
Attackers will programmatically target your cloud-based infrastructure and external authentication systems. Know when you're a target so you can block access.
It can be challenging to ensure appropriate access rights and keep track of superusers. LogRhythm helps you automatically monitor and report on the creation of privileged accounts and the elevation of permissions.
When a compromised user account or a rogue insider finds their way to sensitive data, you need to know. Our analytics can help you detect when a user inappropriately accesses protected data.
Knowing who is behind every action is critically important when investigating threats and incidents. Unfortunately, many log messages don't contain this information.
Fill in the gaps with Identity Inference, which determines who is behind an action by observing the data we already capture, strengthening your User and Entity Behavior Analytics.
Sometimes a single behavioral shift isn't enough to warrant investigation. But multiple behavioral changes should raise the alarm. LogRhythm's multidimensional behavioral analytics detect shifts across multiple types of activities.
