Tuesday, 05 March 2013 06:25 Published in National NewsThe onetime DEA heads plan to issue joint statements Tuesday saying the Obama administration has reacted too slowly and should immediately sue to force the states to rescind the legislation.
The Associated Press received an advance copy of the statement Monday.
One of the former DEA administrators, Peter Bensinger, told the AP that the more time goes by, the harder it'll be to stop the two states. Marijuana is illegal under federal law.
Bensinger, who lives in the Chicago area, said the government must immediately sue the states or risk creating "a domino effect" in which other states follow suit.
"My fear is that the Justice Department will do what they are doing now: do nothing and say nothing," said Bensinger. "If they don't act now, these laws will be fully implemented in a matter of months."
U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder told a meeting of state attorneys general last week that he is still reviewing the laws but that his review is winding down. Asked Monday for a comment on the criticism from the former DEA administrators, Holder spokeswoman Allison Price would only say, "The Department of Justice is in the process of reviewing those initiatives."
The department's review has been under way since shortly after last fall's elections. It could sue to block the states from issuing licenses to marijuana growers, processors and retail stores, on the grounds that doing so conflicts with federal drug law. Alternatively, Holder could decide not to mount a court challenge.
The ex-DEA heads are issuing the statements though the Florida-based Save Our Society from Drugs, a national group lobbying against legalization. One of the group's spokesmen is based in Chicago.
The former DEA administrators are Bensinger, John Bartels, Robert Bonner, Thomas Constantine, Asa Hutchinson, John Lawn, Donnie Marshall and Francis Mullen. They served for both Republican and Democratic administrations.
Holder is scheduled to appear Wednesday before a U.S. Senate judiciary committee hearing. The former DEA chiefs want senators to question Holder on the legalization issue.
Advocates of legalization have welcomed Colorado and Washington's new laws, arguing that criminalizing drugs creates serious though unintended social problems. The ex-DEA heads say they disagree with that view.
After votes last fall, Colorado and Washington became the first states to legalize marijuana's recreational use — putting federal authorities in a quandary over how, or whether, to respond.
Washington state officials responsible for creating a regulated marijuana system have said they are moving forward with a timetable of issuing producer licenses by August.
Bensinger — who served as DEA administrator under Presidents Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan — said the supremacy of federal law over state law when it comes to drug laws isn't in doubt.
"This is a no-brainer," he said. "It is outrageous that a lawsuit hasn't been filed in federal court yet."

Tuesday, 05 March 2013 06:22 Published in National NewsThe Vatican said 107 of the 115 voting-age cardinals attended the first day of pre-conclave meetings, at which cardinals organize the election, discuss the problems of the church and get to know one another before voting.
The red-capped "princes" of the church took an oath of secrecy and decided to pen a letter of "greeting and gratitude" to Benedict XVI, whose resignation has thrown the church into turmoil amid a torrent of scandals inside and out of the Vatican.
"I would imagine that as we move along there will be questioning of cardinals involved in the governing of the Curia to see what they think has to be changed, and in that context anything can come up," said U.S. Cardinal Francis George.
The Holy See's administrative shortcomings were thrust into stark relief last year with the publication of documents stolen from Benedict's desk that exposed the petty infighting, turf battles and allegations of corruption, nepotism and cronyism in the highest echelons of the Catholic Church.
The pope's butler was convicted of stealing the papers and leaking them to a journalist; he eventually received a papal pardon.
The emeritus pope, meanwhile, remained holed up at the papal residence at Castel Gandolfo, his temporary retirement home while the discussions on picking his successor kick into gear in Rome.
No date has been set yet for the conclave and one may not be decided on officially for a few more days; the dean of the College of Cardinals has said a date won't be finalized until all the cardinals have arrived.
Eight voting-age cardinals are still en route to Rome; some had previously scheduled speaking engagements, others were due in over the coming days, the Vatican said. Their absence, however, didn't otherwise delay the conclave's preparations.
Speculation has mounted that the conclave might begin around March 11, with the aim of having a new pope installed by March 17, the Sunday before Palm Sunday and the start of Holy Week.
With 115 electors, 77 votes are needed to reach the two-thirds majority to be elected pope.
Those who were in Rome prayed together Monday, chatted over coffee and took an oath to maintain "rigorous secrecy with regard to all matters in any way related to the election of the Roman Pontiff."
The core agenda item is to set the date for the conclave and put in place the procedures to prepare for it, including closing the Sistine Chapel to visitors and getting the Vatican hotel cleared out and swept for bugs or other electronic monitoring devices, lest anyone try to listen in on the cardinals' secret conversations.
Yet the first day of discussion was rocked by new revelations of scandal after Scottish Cardinal Keith O'Brien admitted that his "sexual conduct has fallen below the standards expected of me as a priest, archbishop and cardinal."
O'Brien last week resigned as archbishop of St. Andrews and Edinburgh and said he wouldn't participate in the conclave after four men came forward with allegations that he had acted inappropriately with them — the first time a cardinal has stayed away from a conclave because of personal scandal.
The Vatican on Monday refused to confirm whether it was investigating O'Brien, even though the Scottish church's press office said the allegations had been forwarded to the Vatican and that it expected Rome would pursue the case.
Pressed to respond to reports of a fifth accuser who reportedly approached the Vatican directly in October with accusations, a Vatican spokesman, the Rev. Thomas Rosica, read O'Brien's statement admitting to sexual misconduct and said the Vatican would say no more.
The Vatican and cardinals attending the session said the O'Brien case didn't come up during formal or informal conversations.
"It's a tragic moment for him," George said.
At a briefing discussing the priorities for the future pontificate, George said the next pope will have to follow canon law and keep priests who molested children out of parishes.
"He obviously has to accept the universal code of the church which is zero tolerance for anyone who has ever abused a minor child and therefore may not remain in public ministry in the church," George said. "That has to be accepted. I don't think that will be a problem."
Separately, the Vatican is still reeling from the fallout of the scandal over leaked papal documents, and the investigation by three cardinals into who was behind it.
American cardinals seem particularly keen to get to the bottom of the Vatican dysfunction, and they have had access to a very knowledgeable tutor, Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano, the Vatican's ambassador to Washington.
Vigano's letters to the pope were the most explosive leaks of documents last year; in them, Vigano pleaded with Benedict not to be transferred after exposing alleged corruption in the awarding of Vatican contracts that cost the Holy See millions of euros (dollars).
Vigano was named the Vatican's ambassador to Washington, and as such has been able to give U.S. cardinals a clear-eyed view of the true state of the Vatican, said Corriere della Sera commentator Massimo Franco.
"They have appreciated him very much because he doesn't read the Vatican situation with a rosy lens, a rosy view," Franco said in an interview.
In his new book "The Crisis of the Vatican Empire," Franco paints a portrait of a Vatican completely falling apart, with financial scandals at its bank, backstabbing among its ruling class and the sex abuse scandal discrediting the church on the global stage.
"If we think of the pope, in a way the pope decided to sacrifice himself because he couldn't change anything," Franco said.
Coupled with the upheaval of Benedict's resignation, the scandals have contributed to create one of the most unclear papal elections in recent times.
"It will be a very open conclave with a very unpredictable outcome," Franco said.
In one of his last audiences before resigning, Benedict gave the three cardinals who investigated the leaks the go-ahead to answer their colleagues' questions about the results of their investigation.
"There are members of the College of Cardinals who are interested in having information that has to do with the situation in the Curia and the church in general and will ask to be informed by their colleagues," the Vatican spokesman the Rev. Federico Lombardi said.

Tuesday, 05 March 2013 06:20 Published in Health & FitnessThe latest research found that women age 75 and younger are dying at higher rates than previous years in nearly half of the nation's counties - many of them rural and in the South and West. Curiously, for men, life expectancy has held steady or improved in nearly all counties.
The study is the latest to spot this pattern, especially among disadvantaged white women. Some leading theories blame higher smoking rates, obesity and less education, but several experts said they simply don't know why.
Women have long outlived men, and the latest numbers show the average life span for a baby girl born today is 81, and for a baby boy, it's 76. But the gap has been narrowing and data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has shown women's longevity is not growing at the same pace as men's.
The phenomenon of some women losing ground appears to have begun in the late 1980s, though studies have begun to spotlight it only in the last few years.
Trying to figure out why is "the hot topic right now, trying to understand what's going on," said Jennifer Karas Montez, a Harvard School of Public Health sociologist who has been focused on the life expectancy decline but had no role in the new study.
Researchers also don't know exactly how many women are affected. Montez says a good estimate is roughly 12 percent.
The study, released Monday by the journal Health Affairs, found declining life expectancy for women in about 43 percent of the nation's counties.
The researchers, David Kindig and Erika Cheng of the University of Wisconsin, looked at federal death data and other information for nearly all 3,141 U.S. counties over 10 years. They calculated mortality rates for women age 75 and younger, sometimes called "premature death rates," because many of those deaths are considered preventable.
Many counties have such small populations that even slight changes in the number of deaths produce dramatic swings in the death rate from year to year. To try to stabilize the numbers, the researchers computed some five-year averages. They also used statistical tricks to account for factors like income and education.
They found that nationwide, the rate of women dying younger than would be expected fell from 324 to 318 per 100,000. But in 1,344 counties, the average premature death rate rose, from 317 to about 333 per 100,000. Deaths rates rose for men in only about 100 counties.
"We were surprised" by how much worse women did in those counties, and by the geographic variations, Kindig said.
The study wasn't the first to reach those conclusions. Two years ago, a study led by the University of Washington's Dr. Christopher Murray also looked at county-level death rates. It too found that women were dying sooner, especially in the South.
Some other studies that focused on national data have highlighted steep declines in life expectancy for white women who never earned a high school diploma. Meanwhile, life expectancy seems to be growing for more educated and affluent women. Some experts also have suggested smokers or obese women are dragging down life expectancy.
The Murray and Kindig studies both spotlight regional differences. Some of the highest smoking rates are in Southern states, and the proportion of women who failed to finish high school is also highest in the South.
"I think the most likely explanation for why mortality is getting worse is those factors are just stronger in those counties," Murray said, adding that abuse of Oxycontin and other drugs also may add to the problem.
Some also think the statistics could reflect a migration of healthier women out of rural areas, leaving behind others who are too poor and unhealthy to relocate. That would change the rate, and make life expectancy in a county look worse, explained Bob Anderson of the CDC's National Center for Health Statistics
"We shouldn't jump to the conclusion that more people are getting sicker in these geographic areas than previously," he said.
But that is open to debate. Migration didn't seem to affect male death rates. Murray disagrees with the theory, saying he has tracked a great deal of movement from urban areas to less-populated counties.

The sizzling of Cajun batter-fried shrimp mingles with the sweet twang of acoustic guitars and smoky jazz vocals. This distinct bouquet of sounds and smells is the essence of The Crossroads, a venue that describes itself as an amalgamation of classic Cajun and American stylings: "[It's] as if NY and N'awlins had a baby and moved to the suburbs." Patrons can sate their appetites with a menu of soul and Cajun fare escorted by a choice of libations, including more than 40 martinis. Nightly musical guests have included local and national acts spanning the genres of jazz, bluegrass, and classic-rock cover bands. Nightly events and specials keep energy high. Every Tuesday, guests pay no cover charges and can climb onstage with their finely tuned instruments or an array of water-filled pint glasses for the open Jazz Jam with the house's trio of musicians.
Large pots regularly crowd the burners in Vinhus Restaurant & Lounge's kitchen. A peek into the cauldrons reveals bubbling mixtures of seafood suggestive of what might happen if chefs strolled through a fish market and scooped up a few things from every stand—one combinations in particular pairs lobster, clams, and shrimp with a choice of green or red sauce.
These seafood surfeits belong to a menu inspired by Portugal's seafaring traditions, complete with dishes such as grilled cod with skinned potato chunks, roasted peppers, and onions. The menu reaches east, as well, pulling flavors from Spain, France, Italy, and the Mediterranean into dishes such as veal marsala or a seafood plate whose lobster comes accented with chorizo, chicken, and saffron rice.
The fresh seafood and sizzling steaks perfume a dining room whose wooden floors and taupe-colored walls set the stage for decor including neatly arranged lighting fixtures, attractive artwork, and verdant foliage. Before or after meals, guests can retreat to the lounge, where patrons sip spirited beverages beneath a slanted ceiling that offers its protection to the room's roaring fireplace.
Though Fushimi Modern Japanese Cuisine & Lounge boasts contemporary decor aesthetics and fusion flavor flourishes, its sushi is deeply rooted in tradition. Chefs may reinterpret the presentation of their Japanese staples—such as the tuna sashimi, which they set on broad leaves next to bean-sprout-entangled roe—but they still ring true to traditional flavors. By contrast, cooked fusion entrees tend to incorporate the unconventional, from truffle teriyaki sauce to pineapple-lemon jam.
The decor also melds old and new. At the bar at the Staten Island location, crimson light filters through a canopy of metallic foliage, casting a moody aura across Buddhist statuettes imported from Asia. The neon-lit Williamsburg location has a sleeker feel, its booths nestled in large circular openings that recall subway tunnels or the oversized portals of Paul Bunyan's mythical submarine. In Bay Ridge, the stateliness of traditional chandeliers contrasts with the bold colors of wall-sized photographs.
Illuminated by glowing blues and reds, indiglo Restaurant & Lounge presents visitors with a chic, upscale atmosphere in which to kick back for meals, drinks, and live performances. Inside, two levels thump with tunes from the venue's advanced sound system as bartenders whip up cocktails and specialty martinis. Visitors may start their nights off with dinner, such as char-grilled 12-ounce rib eyes and penne shrimp pasta, or with happy hour, which occurs Mondays–Thursdays.
It's hard to miss anything on Twenty3 Supper Club's menu. The restaurant has actually commissioned menus that light up when you open them, meaning they're easy to read despite the dark retro-Vegas-nightclub atmosphere and the fact that miner helmets are no longer in vogue. Good thing, too. It would be a shame to overlook, for example, the section on small plates, which includes grilled sand shark in pineapple salsa and shrimp and chorizo on toasted Cuban bread. Order enough of them and the plates can be a meal in themselves, or else they can function as appetizers for the 23-oz. dry-aged rib-eye or the grilled lamb over chickpea hummus and cucumber salsa. After dinner, stick around for a trendy martini at the glowing blue bar and listen to the thumping beats of a live DJ.

01/2012 Satin bustier #123
More recycling lol, even the elastic lace is from the op shop. I intended to make these two into another swimsuit set so I just used non-breathable black stretch knit I got from the op shop for this ensemble. I've found with it having sufficient cross-wise stretch that this set is comfy and can also fit one size up. It could still be used as lingerie and I bound the leg edges using bias from the same fabric. I wanted to give contrast panels a go, and as I only had small remnants of peach lace in my vintage stash I made them feature just on the fronts, overlaid on top.
Overall these patterns are becoming a favorite of mine, as I find them quite straight forward, yet rather addictive and rewarding to make. I've made several similar small things so its out of my system now, finally lol! I am too lazy to demonstrate this set at the moment and I still have to source another plastic open ended zip for the bustier top, which is temporarily being held together at the back by safety pins, lol!

Right Peter read onset now he -- in MLS segment.
Meditate every morning.
I DO I did have fifteen to 20 minutes each morning fast and -- -- -- -- it's great you can just block -- all out and actually doing in the evenings to before densely.
It's you know -- a lot of people say they don't have time to meditate and I actually had an -- to maintain I mean that.
The idea with -- all of us we're so busy.
Of literally doing nothing.
Right do nothing for.
Fifteen minutes for many minutes seems crazy right it seems absurd hardest thing is it's it seems hard.
It's hard to finance -- but -- can't -- might so that's one thing -- to actually -- your mind.
But just the idea of sitting down and do nothing for twenty minutes when we're so busy seems hard to -- and -- -- can't.
And -- three kids have three kids.
And and sometimes they you know what's great actually is sometimes a B meditating in the morning could do -- -- -- -- first moment -- -- -- -- -- -- walk -- And outcome and will set up my lap.
And they'll just sit there while meditating in the know not to speak to the vote to sort of sit there for ten minutes and and settle -- and it's a great -- Great thing it's really yeah.
So what are the benefits of meditation so that -- On the one hand it's just really relaxed right to actually breathe.
But there's there's and are -- to -- you know there's sort of return on investment and there's there's a practical reason meditated what I found it.
Is that.
We're living at a time when it's never been so important to be able to manage.
Our purchase right yeah I'm I'm I'm working until we have writing something and -- I'm writing a proposal and whatever it is I'm working on.
The desire to go eat something the desired -- -- in a meeting to interrupt someone the desire to.
The kind of get in my own way exists all the time I mean you're constantly getting emails of people telling you to go by this -- -- -- check this out.
And and they're -- it's tempting to do that right I mean it's sort of think about.
Lost the TV so lost right we were all hooked to lost right we all watched episode -- that's it.
Nothing happened for four years right on the program and yet it was tempting -- -- you know it's hard to resist the urge to say what might happen next.
So one of the things that meditation does for you is it.
Allows you that the game of meditation is can you resist your urges that you sit.
And as soon as you said you take it I don't they'll speak about myself I said and I take a deep breath.
And I start to relax and I think I'll have to make a phone call election make a note about -- oh I don't wanna forget that -- title for my next book oh I should apologize to as a all of these thoughts -- -- and that's the stuff that's flowing for our minds all the time and it's not just because we've slowed down it's always happening.
And you take a deep breath and the -- the rules of the game is you can't move.
Read the rules of the game -- all those things are gonna figure noted that back -- fractured nose don't get up and write a little notes that you don't forget something.
Just bringing it right.
And then suddenly -- a meeting and I want to interrupt someone.
And I know it's probably not a great idea and yet I have the strong urge to do it and I bring myself back to that meditation and I say.
Just get a -- and I will have time to make my point and right now its most important for them to do the talking.
So it you know to me sitting.
And resisting those -- has this practical effect.
And our own business right in my business -- right and they've done amazing -- -- citizens rate.
Experiment the -- experiment of the 1970s.
Where they took kids a four year olds five real secure us and they put a -- of front of -- And they syndicate -- Marshall and but if you wait.
I'm gonna leave the room if you wait until like come back and you haven't eaten the marshmallow.
I give you an excellent policy kept him arsenals -- sort of this one -- And it's great to watch these videos of the things that kids do.
To distract themselves you know some of them will make a little animal out of that we'll talk to it some of them as -- as soon as the video and as soon as the researcher leaves the room.
And -- it right away.
And but they've done research because it was done in my concerns about four years.
The kids who were able to resist -- urge to eat that marshmallow -- higher SAT scores.
I'm -- I hope -- -- that higher SAT scores more effective longer lasting relationships.
They did better you know financially that.
Because that ability to just not follow the immediate -- absolutely leads towards -- As a kid which is able not to eat there are no way I would -- be handled yeah I'm right right Palestinian and -- a fact I would I would it would have been very hard for me.
To not in -- -- don't tell if I felt like.
I was gonna get in trouble for -- than ever since -- and that I think I wouldn't it be in the market.
Hello I would have been beer everybody here you know the -- and then he had typical -- -- the report by second Mexican government.
So -- a -- loan rate proponent of meditating yeah it's very easy you sit.
And you -- -- and we should all do that eliminate the clutter it up making more focused and it's all circulates in business it's chaos that other people so exactly will start with two minute today.
And you -- build about a minute today and then there's a lot of time when candidates is gonna feel like a think he's -- if we -- that screen time right now.
-- Atlanta sat right now than what that is up.

What are you doing with the spent oil from your engines? Most fleets are reusing it somehow, perhaps by burning it in special furnaces to heat the shops or selling it to a recycler who'll put it to other uses. Drain oil was once dumped or given away, but since the rise of petroleum prices on world markets, it now brings as much as 95 cents a gallon.

Bad controller from Sandforce, good support from CorsairPros: Worked for 2 years in an old PC. Corsair honored the RMA to replace the defective drive. Cons: Doesn't work in new Haswell-based chipsets. This is due to a problem with the Sandforce SF-1000 series controllers used in many early SSDs, not just Corsair's. The SF-1000 series controllers weren't designed to proper SATA spec, and as a result cause intermittent drive recognition errors with modern motherboards (which more tightly regulate power to the drive). Other Thoughts: Kudos to Corsair for owning up to the problem and replacing my drive with a newer one based on a different controller. Did you find this review helpful? |
Fast and DeadPros: Fast performance for its time. Cons: Died without warning. Went from absolutely normal performance to being completely dead overnight. Other Thoughts: The drive was within warranty when it died. It will get +/- one star depending on how Corsair handles it. Did you find this review helpful? |
Force Series™ F120 Solid-State Hard DrivePros: Fast Cons: Dead without any notice. One minute it was fine, the next, dead. Never seen anything like it at all in 30 years of drives. At least a disc based HD warns you it's about to go. Did you find this review helpful? |
Fast, but does not lastPros: Fast. I've enjoyed the quick boot times, and quick loads for over a year. Cons: I've been bitten by the bug. The drive failed, but I had a WD raptor as a back up for all my important stuff, so just inconvient. Other Thoughts: I knew the risk going into the purchase, and for over a year I was loving it. Kept a back up just because of the reputation for failure. Glad I did. Did you find this review helpful? |
Horrible SSDPros: None since it's so unreliable! Cons: Many many many well documented issues with these SSD. Other Thoughts: Do yourself a favor and don't buy Corsair SSD's (all of their other stuff is great). I own G-Skill, Samsung and Intel SSD's and only the Corsair ones have these severe issues! Did you find this review helpful? |
Great SSDPros: I bought this SSD more than a year ago for my i7 laptop and i love it. No problems with it. Cons: It doesn't support sleep mode and it crashes most of the time when try to activate it(blue screen) but none of the ssd support it. Not really a cons, since the boot time is so fast, shutdown can be used instead of sleeping mode. Other Thoughts: I was using my laptop with an external portable 500gb usb 2.0 hard drive. Now i'm looking for an external enclosure that supports USB 3.0 then i will make my SSD drive external, to fully benefit from USB 3.0 technology. It's place will take a 240gb newer and faster SSD Did you find this review helpful? |
Wouldn't buy againPros: Faster than a hard drive. Cons: Bought 5, 3 had problems within a couple months. One died after 8 months, and was replaced under warranty; now the warranty replacement appears to have died--after about 7 months. I'm regretting decision to go with SSDs, or at least Corsair; hard drive would have been slower but probably more reliable. Did you find this review helpful? |
Failed after 17 months!Pros: Works fine until if fails. Cons: This SSD failed hard and NONE of the data was recoverable. This seldom, if ever, happens with hard drives. Other Thoughts: It will take weeks to rebuild the system and right now, I am thinking it won't have an SSD in it at all. This technology isn't ready for prime-time. How can you trust your system and data to a device like this? Manufacturer Response: Did you find this review helpful? |
Failed After Just 1 YearPros: Works pretty well - before it fails. Cons: Failed irretrievably after 1 year 1 month. Other Thoughts: I've been lucky to never have a hard drive fail on me so far - until now. The drive worked well - while it worked. And then it failed, and I had to do a warranty replace, after a relatively short time. Did you find this review helpful? |
Great DrivePros: Great little drive, very fast and reliable. Had mine over a year now with no issues with the drive itself. Read and write rates as advertised. I just wish I could get another one for less than $100 (they are about 200-300 now for whatever reason) so I could do a RAID 0 set up. I will stick with Corsair for all my SSD drives from now on because of this spectacular product. Only regret is I didn't get a bigger one because I can only fit about 4 games on it (World of Warcraft, Assassins Creed II, Assassins Creed Revelations, and Star Wars: The Old Republic), but that's not a con, just due to the size of the drive. Cons: none Other Thoughts: If you are running Windows 7 (which you should if you have an SSD) you will see that the space free may be slightly less to substantially less than it should be if you select all on the C: and right click and go to properties. This is because of your pagefile and your hiberfil.sys file. If you have a ton of RAM you will notice much less free space than you should have (because your pagefile defaults to your RAM size and you hiberfil.sys is also the size of your RAM. To get this space back, you need to reduce your pagefile size and then disable your hibernation (powercfg -h off) to reclaim this space). In my case, because I have 16GB of RAM, I saw that I had 32GB less free space than I should. It took a lot of searching to figure this out, so I hope many people can benefit from this review. I would assume this would hold true for Windows XP, if you dare run it with an SSD. Did you find this review helpful? |

Digital Signal Processing(DSP) by Sebastiano Galazzo (galazzo to the Nokia Developer Community) is a project which delivers a collection of useful tools that implements DSP algorithms. With the use of 1D Fast Fourier Transform algorithm author has demonstrated Audio Noise Reduction and Sound pattern matching in Windows Phone.
The next action plan of the project is to bring digital image processing like image matching, compression, etc. using 2D Fast Fourier Transform. Till now we are not confirm whether will it be a geometric image matching or a regular image matching or/and will there be a loss-less image compression or not. But this project sounds much promising to bring new and exciting features.

Top 10 Most Costly, Frequent Medical Errors
Avoidable medical errors added $19.5 billion to the nation's healthcare bill in 2008, according to a claims-based study conducted by Millman, Inc. on behalf of the Society of Actuaries (SOA). The report lists the 10 most expensive errors in healthcare settings.
Most of that amount, $17 billion, was the cost of providing inpatient, outpatient and prescription drug services to individuals affected by medical errors, says Jim Toole, chairman of SOA. "While this cost is staggering, it also highlights the need to reduce errors and improve quality and efficiency in American healthcare."
Pressure ulcers—the most frequent type of expensive error—were most often preventable, the authors wrote.
The other nine errors include postoperative infections and problems related to devices and prosthetics, among other complications.
Milliman consultant Jonathan Shreve, a co-author of the report, described the estimates as conservative. "This number includes only the errors that we could identify through claims data, so the total economic impact of medical errors is in fact greater than what we have reported."
The report included about $1.4 billion in costs related to increased mortality, and $1.1 billion in lost productivity due to short-term disability, but not pain and suffering because they are not measureable from medical claim databases, or malpractices costs or insurance payments. The sum also does not include progression of an illness because of lack of care or disease management neglect.
Comments are moderated. Please be patient.
William J. Walsh (12/20/2010 at 11:32 AM)
I agree - most of these are bad outcome data with a presumption of an error behind it. For example: 1. Postoperative shock - if the patient had trauma prior to surgery, or the patient had a large surgery (lung, heart, liver transplant, CABG), it may be expected to have shock postoperatively. 2. Infection due to central venous catheter. These really should be mostly avoidable. 5.Complications of transplanted organ[INVALID] how is this due to error? Inexact science and error are not the same thing. 9. Infusion or transfusion reaction[INVALID] if this is all due to mismatched product, ok... but otherwise TRALI is not predictable. The gastric bipass complication rate seems to be 4 of the 10 high risk complications... why not list this as one item?
gzuckier (12/9/2010 at 10:01 AM)
Eh? Most of these are neither errors, nor avoidable; unless there is quite a bit more in the study than is being represented here.

Here also talk about a new movie that he's a big fan out as MI.
And it's called the last ounce of courage here's a little clip from it.
You're Muslim.
-- in the -- -- means place.
It's one of your rights.
If you're Jewish you -- -- -- minority blow your show farm.
Go ahead.
Except my admiration for standing up for what you believe it but don't tell me in the majority of us who believe in Jesus Christ.
That we don't have the right to celebrate the day of his birth.
Jumped more than me I mean this song on the.
-- this is screening of this Thelma earlier this summer and I'm telling you it is a powerful movie that just challenges people to understand.
What's happened to this country our rights as as as as Americans to speak our minds of some what motivated you to be part of this project.
It's very simple sir faith family freedom that's what movie stands for.
It is about our right.
To say -- -- our mind every single solitary person.
To worship as we all please and also support our military that is out there every single solitary day making sure that we.
You know.
It doesn't try to say that everybody ought to be Christians are -- everybody move out of the way and -- the Christians have all the end of the space.
It says look everybody ought to be able to freely worship just don't like to Christians be the one group that get shoved off the public square.
Whether that's Google and Marshall a couple of well you know I I believe that very strongly -- -- -- when you see every day that people are allowed to worship.
As they want to.
And it is openly.
Acknowledged by everybody in our our government for instance as you have the right however it.
When it does come down to Christians expressing what they feel or having their cross is which are being.
Challenged every single solitary day we're told we don't have the right our children -- pray.
In church anymore they don't have the right to.
The pledge of allegiance why not pledge allegiance to the flag because there's enough people out there but their butts on the line to make sure that were safe.
Get the Chuck Norris seal of approval that's a pretty rare gift that you give you given this movie.
The Chuck Norris seal of approval -- all -- why only at the time was Mike Huckabee I -- All I saw you I saw a screening of the like you -- yeah.
And -- soldier taken by it I said this movie every American man woman and child.
Must see this movie and you know I have -- like I say I have nothing to do what this movie but the thing is you I really was impassioned by it.
And he he gives a performance at the end of this movie.
That made the hair back in my -- stand up because he's when he start talking about freedom and the lack of -- that's going on our country.
It's and he's probably the best we've ever seen on film and and he did it I mean and -- it was unscripted -- -- -- -- He came to -- -- from his heart.
And that was really quite an amazing -- watch a little piece of that again here we go from last ounce of courage.
100 years ago our forefathers left the religious oppression of another land to build this one and the first thing they did.
The first thing they did was to put across on the shores of the Atlantic.
But it was more than -- Cross.
It was a symbol that in this land.
A citizen has the freedom.
To worship as he or she desires.
For the freedom not to worship -- all.
-- his -- power and that's just a little snippet out of the chuck I agree with you and it is one of those films that if you love our military.
You're gonna love this film because it honors the men and women of the military we love our freedom if you -- our freedom.
And if you believe that your right to stand for your convictions is still a fundamental American right this'll have you just stand in a theater in cheer and and throwing your popcorn all over your neighbors.
It's true.
Governor if I -- -- when you talk about freedom it's that's a very very important work.
Because it's not about.
Republican or independent freedoms it's about all freedoms that we as Americans enjoy every single solitary day.
In some cases.
We're taking them for granted and all one has to do is take a day like I did yesterday and -- down to the 9/11 memorial and see those names and recognize.
That freedom is very fragile.
Unless you're willing to stand up toward.
-- you're willing to -- for nothing.
You know if there are people who think that all of this is just rooted in fiction.
Let us be reminded that the 9/11 cross that cross that was made.
Really in the heat.
The furnace of the aftermath of the Twin Towers falling.
That cross you see it on your screen.
Was an inspiration to so many of the workers as -- -- on that.
Yes tell us -- form -- -- I think that's a powerful point.
People have formed that first of all god form that yet.
He really did.
God created that heat.
And he join it together let us know that we will never.
He is always -- force every single solitary -- and sometimes we forget to reach inside he's always there.
All you have to do is just reach and ask him to come you'll talk to you -- you know -- I don't claim to be the greatest Christian in the world because I've made a lot of mistakes on the one that has to live those mistakes.
Carlos has been a great my real name is -- -- Yeah that's another -- Good friend that's what got me.
Forget -- chuck back.
Just has supported -- his lovely wife Gina and my wife -- and we have.
Spend so much time together and share -- so much.
Together we have seen his work together we have been to Iraq together.
Individual troops we spend time when you know and it's amazing every one of them.
What thanked us I've never heard so many god bless issues and thank you and thank you for coming and why are you here was the one question her then you -- and chuck said because you're here.
-- Well I wanna thank both of you for being here but most importantly I want to thank you for the involvement in the the project and I hope that all over the country people -- -- -- -- Want a long.
Theaters will be packed -- C a wonderful film.
That will encourage and inspire you Chuck Norris Marshall -- that -- back.

What do you think about when you hear the word coma (say: ko-muh)? Does it make you think of someone in a deep sleep, or the way you feel after eating too much Thanksgiving turkey? Does the word remind you of a TV soap opera, where it seems that at least one character is always in a coma?
A coma can be difficult to understand, especially because people sometimes jokingly use the words coma and comatose (say: ko-muh-tose, which means in a coma or coma-like state) to describe people who aren't paying attention or who are drowsy or sleeping. But a coma is a serious condition that has nothing to do with sleep.
Someone who is in a coma is unconscious and will not respond to voices, other sounds, or any sort of activity going on nearby. The person is still alive, but the brain is functioning at its lowest stage of alertness. You can't shake and wake up someone who is in a coma like you can someone who has just fallen asleep.
Comas can be caused by different things, including:
When one of these things happens, it can mess up how the brain's cells work. This can hurt the parts of the brain that make someone conscious, and if those parts stop working, the person will stay unconscious.
Someone in a coma usually needs to be cared for in the intensive care unit (ICU) of the hospital. There, the person can get extra care and attention from doctors, nurses, and other hospital staff. They make sure the person gets fluids, nutrients, and any medicines needed to keep the body as healthy as possible. These are sometimes given through a tiny plastic tube inserted in a vein or through a feeding tube that brings fluids and nutrients directly to the stomach.
Some comatose people are unable to breathe on their own and need the help of a ventilator (say: ven-tih-lay-ter), a machine that pumps air into the lungs through a tube placed in the windpipe. The hospital staff also tries to prevent bedsores in someone who is comatose. Bedsores are open sores on the body that come from lying in one place for too long without moving at all.
It can be very upsetting and frustrating for a person's family to see someone they love in a coma, and they may feel scared and helpless. But they can help take care of the person. Taking time to visit the hospital and read to, talk to, and even play music for the patient are important because it's possible that the person may be able to hear what's going on, even if he or she can't respond.
Usually, a coma does not last more than a few weeks. Sometimes, however, a person stays in a coma for a long time — even years — and will be able to do very little except breathe on his or her own.
Most people do come out of comas, however. Some of them are able to return to the normal lives they had before they got sick. On TV, someone in a coma usually wakes up right away, looks around, and is able to think and talk normally.
But in real life, this rarely happens. When coming out of a coma, a person will often be confused and can only slowly respond to what's going on. It will take time for the person to start feeling better.
Whether someone fully returns to normal after being in a coma depends on what caused the coma and how badly the brain may have been hurt. Sometimes people who come out of comas are just as they were before — they can remember what happened to them before the coma and can do everything they used to do.
Other people may need therapy to relearn basic things like tying their shoes, eating with a fork or spoon, or learning to walk all over again. They may also have problems with speaking or remembering things.
Over time and with the help of therapists, however, many people who have been in a coma can make a lot of progress. They may not be exactly like they were before the coma, but they can do many things and enjoy life with their family and friends.

Get your WHAT?! faces out because Catherine Zeta Jones rep confirmed that she was in a mental hospital.
Jones' husband, Michael Douglas, just survived a battle with a life threatening cancer and is now taking care of herself. Her rep stated (to People) that she spent 5 days at Silver Hill Hospital near New Canaan to deal with her bipolar issues.
"After dealing with the stress of the past year, Catherine made the decision to check in to a mental health facility for a brief stay to treat her bipolar II disorder. She's feeling great and looking forward to starting work this week on her two upcoming films."
A friend says the brief stay was more of a preventative measure than an actual issue.
"There's no question it's been a stressful year," the friend says. "Catherine has had deal with Michael's illness and that's been hard. She went in for a few days because she's about to start working, and wanted to make sure she's in top form, which she is."
The only therapy I ever thought Catherine indulged in was a bubble bath while wearing a diamond tiara and glasses of champagne. Either way, get well and stay healthy boo!

For Connor Passalacqua, becoming the salutatorian of the Class of 2012 was the culmination of an achievement for which he has worked long and hard, both at Navarre High School and as a dual enrollment student at the University of West Florida.
"I was debating between AP (advanced placement) and dual enrollment, and I didn't want to risk going through all the hard work and homework (of AP) and have one off test and get no credit," he said.

Summary (Masterplots, Fourth Edition)
Jacques Derrida initiated a seismic wave throughout the field of literary criticism with the essays collected in Writing and Difference, in particular with the essay "Structure, Sign, and Play in the Discourse of the Human Sciences," which was first presented at a conference at Johns Hopkins University in October, 1966. Through his challenges to structuralism, Derrida helped give rise to the movement in literary theory known as poststructuralism.
The book presents a series of loosely affiliated essays from earlier presentations and publications, and it ends with a new essay titled "Ellipsis." Taken together, the essays explore the key strategies of what came to be called deconstruction, despite Derrida's own insistence that he created no system or school of thought. The essays in the collection reflect an ongoing effort to avoid closure by introducing and then changing the vocabulary through which Derrida interprets a variety of writers, from philosophers to poets. The essays both discuss and demonstrate in various ways the role that writing plays in creating difference.
This crucial term, "difference," gives rise to the Derridean alternative, "differance." The change from difference to differance can be read but not heard—that is, while they appear differently on the page, the two words have the same pronunciation, so the neologism can be specified orally only by reference to written language (by uttering a phrase...

Upstate New York Farmers, Businesses and Organizations Bring Local Flavors to All-Day Music Festival
SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y., Sept. 16, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Farm Aid 2013 at Saratoga Performing Arts Center (SPAC) on Sept. 21 will bring together an all-star lineup and more than 25,000 fans to shine a spotlight on the need for good food that family farms provide us all. From interactive, hands-on workshops in the HOMEGROWN Village to family farm food served at all concessions stands through Farm Aid's HOMEGROWN Concessions®.
Upstate New York farmers, businesses and nonprofit organizations are pitching in to make sure this year's Farm Aid benefit concert provides concertgoers with family farm experiences that are distinctly New York. Local farmers and companies will help Farm Aid bring family farm-sourced ingredients to HOMEGROWN Concessions®. Local and regional farm groups will present interactive exhibits in the HOMEGROWN Village, engaging concertgoers in the work family farmers do to protect our communities, our environment and our health. Concertgoers can pitch in too, by supporting a food drive at Farm Aid 2013 to support those in need.
Information about the local flavor at Farm Aid 2013:
Additional Farm Aid 2013 details for concertgoers and fans at home:

Since 1985, Farm Aid, with the support of the artists who contribute their performances each year, has raised more than $43 million to support programs that help farmers thrive, expand the reach of the Good Food Movement, take action to change the dominant system of industrial agriculture and promote food from family farms.

Fantastic interview, excellent questions and very good answers. Thank you!
Jason is a good actor. Chill and actually watch the film before judging.
You haven't watched anything yet. Wait until you actually view the film before judging. For all
The trailer looks great! Emily Blunt and the Black List script are my top reasons to see this!
This was an very excellent interview, thank you!
So disappointing. Tom, please DO A GOOD MOVIE THIS CENTURY
All these movies just look the same these day. Explosions, Aliens or if not Aliens, Robots. And then
With action yes. With sci-fi? Exhibit A: Doug Liman's "Jumper"

New director hopes to expand Hooksett Chamber
Started in 2010 and with close to 40 members, the chamber's board of directors decided a full-time employee was needed to help the chamber grow.
"Zlotnick is awesome. She has done a great job so far and we are ecstatic as a board. She is just doing a great job, putting her boots on the ground and starting off running. We are very pleased," he said.
"I want to step up my career and I like the small town community and feel of Hooksett. I am confident that I can build the chamber up and in turn make the community a better place. Certainly Hooksett has potential," Zlotnick said.
"We want larger events to get attention and raise money. Up our profile. We haven't done that very much so far, and I have seen other organizations do it and grow exponentially because it," she said.

I am quite the fan of the stranger side of Chicago history, and one of my favorite topics (there are quite a few) is the Whitechapel Club. I plan a more comprehensive article on the Whitechapel club in the future but in a nutshell it was a club formed in 1888 of mainly authors and journalists from Chicago newspapers but also included lawyers, doctors, police officers, cartoonists, a U.S. Senator and more. The purpose of the club was mainly a social outlet for journalists and the like to have a few drinks and quite a bit of fun. They were known for some of their outrageous antics and pranks and also for the way in which the club, which was originally in the back room of Koster's saloon in "Newsboy's Alley", was decorated. There were the coffin shaped tables, drinking cups made from skulls and one wall that was shingled because "nobody had shingled a wall up to this point". The club was very well known and dignitaries visiting the Columbian Exposition of 1893 always hoped to be invited to their meetings. (Invitation only). The club disbanded in 1895.

Sometimes it Just Doesn't Feel Right……
Market research has to be one of the most important processes to developing your business strategy. There are so many people out here who teach how to invest, different strategies of investing, how to go do this, and how to go do that. However, one of the things they always leave out is market research: how to know what markets to go into, what markets to pick, and when you pick that market, where to invest and what zip code you're investing in.
This could save you big $$$$ on your marketing budget…Only if you do it RIGHT!
