I would say the best guess is that this year is a growing pains year and they're likely to get 6-8 wins, based on schedule.
I think Cassell is the better overall QB between him and Smith, Both have had turnover issues, though Cassell has had them recently whereas Smith had his early in his career.
Athletically it is a push
Cassell has the better arm, Smith the better accuracy but Smith had better WR's in San Fran, he is not going to have the same thing in kFc. Cassell was let down a lot by poor route running and WR's who could not catch. Cassell's fumbling issues are all on him though.
There was no way Cassell should have been benched for Quinn. kFc might have won 4 games and got 5 more guys in the Pro Bowl if they stuck with Cassell.

Pacific International Lines has been sentenced in U.S. federal court under the terms of a plea agreement that requires the Singapore-based container shipping company to pay $2.2 million in criminal penalties, according to the U.S. Department of Justice.
Pacific International Lines previously pleaded guilty to three felony charges that it made false statements to the U.S. Coast Guard and violated the Act to Prevent Pollution from Ships by concealing illegal waste water operations and discharges in a falsified oil record book, for required overboard discharges logging, and operating a vessel in U.S. waters without a functioning oil water separator, a required pollution control device.
The charges are a result of Pacific International Lines' illegal operation of the vessel Southern Lily 2 in June 2012.
"This case, being the third of its kind since 2011, should send a clear message to those shipping companies and mariners who willfully cut corners and violate the laws enacted to protect the oceans, as well as a much needed spotlight on this region of the South Pacific," said Joshua J. Masterson, Special Agent-in-Charge of Coast Guard Investigative Service-Pacific Region, in a written statement.

Don't Sweat the Vegetables?
Five-a-day fruit and veg policy rubbished by obesity researcher - Wales News - News - WalesOnline
I've always thought dieters are pushed to eat lots of fruit and veg, not because it's so much more nutritious than other food, but because humans can't digest most of it. Stuff the hole with water and cellulose, as engineers used to use sawdust in landfill. One or two servings a day is the most I can manage. So I was pleased to read this, even though every one else in her field disagrees with her.
Thank you for that.
I think it is going to be a long time before people will accept that fruits and some vegetables are not really healthy and can make some people fat!
The less fruit and vegetables I eat the thiner I become and the healthier I am. Therefore, they are not healthy for me.
It is counterintuitive because we have been brainwashed for so long.
"The World Health Organisation says around 8% of deaths worldwide are attributable to low fruit intake."
Ok, but what % of deaths in this country are attributed to high fruit intake (i.e. high blood sugar)?
The UK government's recommendation that we eat five portions of fruit and vegetables a day has always struck me as absurd. How could a family of five afford that? And you'd have to do your weekly shop at the greengrocer with a wheelbarrow.
I see signs up in supermarkets saying a portion is a handful.. I could never manage that much a day, I'd have to return to being a vegetarian.

Brand new OR nurses UNITE!!!
- 0Aug 5, '01 by KC CHICKHello all.
Are there any other newbies out there like me? I graduated this May and jumped feet-first into the OR. Just completed 2 out of the 9 mos of training that I will receive. So far, I LOVE it!
Maybe us rookies can swap stories and vent to each other.
***If any of you 'old dogs' have advice, or stories, that would be great too.Last edit by KC CHICK on Dec 17, '01
- 0Aug 6, '01 by NurzofFaithI'm a little early but thought I would jump in! I graduate in May 2002 and am very interested in OR, I have applied for a perioperative internship at a large teaching hospital in St. Louis. I am excited and also nervous as I have heard stories of OR nurses and their treatment of new nurses, I am hoping not all nurses in the OR are like this, as I truly find OR a fascinating place!
Best wishes to you all
- 0Aug 8, '01 by CarolineRnA friend of mine (trying to get her to come in and post) works in the OR and has been there since October. She has great stories to tell, but my all-time fave was when she scrubbed for a LAVH and while holding retractors for the Doc to extract the uterus, she watched as the Doc pulled harder and harder, she supected she needed to back up just a bit. Too late! She was smacked in the face with a Uterus!!!! LOL LOL LOL!! Good thing for masks! Funny thing was, it was her first time assisting as second scrub. She just kind of laughed it off when it happened, and I think the Docs and Nurses all gained some respect for her as a result.
- 0Oct 27, '01 by armyrnA nurse that attended the same OR course I did started at the same hospital I did about 4 months ago. We are both pretty green but so far I have avoided any really major mistakes. Anyway a couple of weeks ago she prepped the wrong leg for surgery, and it wasn't discovered until almost too late. Not really a funny story, more of a cautionary tale. Be careful in the ortho room! Most orthopods are former college football players and may have taken a couple of head shots!
- 0Oct 29, '01 by shodobeThis is for armyrn, let your friend know it is acceptable to ask the patient to mark the extremity with the surgeon's initials. This will avoid any future problems. Believe me there have been reports of this happening, I do remember many years ago when I started someone did prep and the surgeon did operate on the wrong scheduled knee. The patient was diagnosed with both knees needing totals but the right was scheduled and the left was done. By the way the family sued and won! Just take your time and don't let anyone push you to fast or too hard. Anesthesia, surgeons, fellow nurses or your nurse mgr will try to get you to move faster, this is when mistakes can happen. Remember no one is going to look out for you license but yourself. Good luck, Mike
- 0Oct 29, '01 by armyrnThe correct leg was marked with "yes" and the initials of the surgeon. Normally the orthopods mark the operative limb "yes" and the nonoperative "no". The nonoperative leg did not get marked in that case. Our policy is to mark both limbs and now I get the wonderful job of doing a 6-month CQI audit on surgical site marking, since I'm in charge of running those. Our surgeons are normally great about marking sites though. Thanks for the feedback.
- 0Nov 18, '01 by angelaADSNI just graduated last may. I have been working in OR for almost 6 months now and love it. I had to learn how to scrub first, just general cases. I hate scrubbing in on cases but will do it when we become short staffed on scrub tech's. Our OR needs some more scrub techs bad. I am learning how to circulate and do recovery now. I have already learned holding room. Our OR is in charge of Outpatient floor as well so I have learned outpatient already. Gaining and learning alot at one time, it get frustrating at times but I wouldn't do anything else.

We got hit with another big storm today. I did not make it into work today. The road that I live on was almost impassable, and the major routes that I take to work were closed. The last time I measured, we were at 15 inches, and it was the last one that I was able to get before the snow started drifting. I shoveled for 3 hours today, trying to open up the porch, and get around the cars. I had to have my husband pull the tractor up so that I could fill the bucket with snow, because I could not lift the snow up anymore. The piles are above my head now that my hubby cleared the driveway.
I am sitting here listening to the wind howling, and to go out now is almost impossible. The wind is just whipping the snow around. Tomorrow is going to be another day of cleaning up. Wonder if I am going to make it into work again tomorrow. They still had not plowed our road at 8:30 this evening, there are ruts now in the road, but I do not feel comfortable enough driving my hubby's truck to risk it if it has not been plowed. I may end up working a double on Friday to make up for the people who had to stay today to work for me.
I will try to get pictures from this storm out tomorrow. Still want to take some more!
I am very tired from all the shoveling and walking around I did in the snow. Going to get into the jacuzzi and get ready for bed! Have a great night all!
I was at work last night when the snow started. By the time I was supposed to leave for home, there was about 4 inches of snow on the ground. Not too much, but I have a Saturn, not very good in the snow. So the guy relieving me for the night came in early and says it's not too bad out there, get home before it gets worse. I called my hubby, his cousin was just at our house to pick up his daughter, and said that the interstates weren't too bad, but once he got to the road to our house, he made the tracks. My hubby said if I could make it to the restuarant at the end of our road, he would come pick me up.
So I went back and forth for a while, should I just stay at work, or try to make it home. I decided to try to make it home. What a mistake! I did ok on the roads by work, I ended up behind a plow, which made driving not too bad. Wish I could have talked the plow into staying in front of me the whole way home! LOL! Then I got out to the interstate. Not too bad for most of the way home. There were tractor trailers on the road, and they were aggressive last night. One passed me on the right, and I am still trying to figure out how he did that! Then about 3 miles to my exit, I spun out. 180 degrees one way, then 180 degrees the other, and then 180 degrees back again. I got the car to stop, and was lucky enough not to cause an accident or hit anything, and stayed on the road. Got to my exit, and could feel the car slipping again. Didn't spin out again, but kept going slowly. Made it to the restaurant, and called my hubby and he came and got me. I kept telling him, I should have just stayed at work!
Got up this morning, and went and shoveled snow for 3 hours. I am feeling that now! Took a shower and got ready to come into work. I have my hubby's truck, which has 4 wheel drive, and what a difference. I was able to make it out the road I live on (it hadn't been plowed yet) without any trouble, and once I got to the interstate, they had it clear, it was just wet! PennDot did a great job on the interstates, just wish they could get to the secondary roads a little faster.
The storm dumped 15 inches at my house. The kids loved it. I will post snow pictures tomorrow if I get a chance. I still have to go and get my car from the restaurant parking lot. Hopefully we will be able to do that tomorrow.
February Goals
1. Track my food everyday
2, Exercise at least 15 min every day
3. Get my house spring cleaned 1 room at a time. (I don't want to wait until Spring because when Spring comes, I want to be able to go out and enjoy the good weather!)
4. Follow the 28 day program in The Spark.
Wow, today was a very busy, active day for us. We got up this morning and went to church, then after church, we stopped at Arby's for lunch, then headed to the car show. We spent 3 and a half hours walking around and climbing in and out of cars. It was so much fun, and not a sales person to bother us. I was able to really look at some of the vehicles that I have been considering, and have taken a list of 40 vehicles, and now have narrowed it down to 7. I have not test driven any of these cars yet, I think that I will wait until August to do this, closer to the time when I am going to get my new car.
After coming home from the car show, we ate dinner and off to bowling I went. I did pretty good tonight, and our team took 3 games.
So I did not get to do a bootcamp workout for today, but since it was a cardio workout, I think I had that covered today!
Whew! I did it!!!! I did the required videos everyday, and even managed to get some exercising, even the days that we did not have to do any. As I have said before, I have not seen a big difference on the scale, but the way my clothes are fitting from before the beginning of the month is proof enough for me that this works! Unfortunately, besides the scale, I did not take any before pictures or get any measurements. I am going to do this again for the next 4 weeks, following the same videos, this time getting a before picture, and measurements.
I even got a chance to go out shopping today, what a frustrating event that was. I am between a medium and large pant size, and ended up getting nothing. The large pants were too baggy and didn't look right, and the medium were just a little too tight. Why is it that everytime I go shopping for clothes, I am in between sizes? Oh well, even more incentive for me to do this again next month. Maybe when I go out next month, I will fit comfortably in the medium pants!

In man's never-ending search for meaning, symbolism sometimes fills the bill. It's a form of intellectual foreplay for those who enjoy over-thinking. ;-)
Wtf? O_o
It is probably to demean the men who own them.
I guess that, for some men, they are. Or they like to think so, anyway. There are also other ways that they might compensate or demonstrate their masculinity...like "power trucks" or power tools. lol

I think it goes back to the way so many have chronic sex on the brain.

I had a professor once who saw sexual metaphors EVERYWHERE. What a loony lady.
You hear it a bit studying film too. Definitely changes the way you watch action movies lolol
Well, when someone invents a weapon that isn't but works just as well and cheaper or better I'm game, but it works pretty well so far.

text: Kobayashi says sweeping changes saved Caterham 13 August, 2014 Kamui Kobayashi Kamui Kobayashi has backed the sweeping changes at Caterham which he believes saved the team from folding, even though it has put his Formula 1 future in doubt. After founder Tony Fernandes' sudden sale and departure, the Malaysian team entered the hands of mysterious Swiss-Middle Eastern investors and new bosses Colin Kolles and Christijan Albers and almost immediately, 40 staff were controversially axed. The next possibility is a change in the green-lined cockpits, with Swedish rookie Marcus Ericsson adequately backed but exciting Japanese driver Kobayashi substantially unfunded. Dutchman Albers admitted recently that he has had talks with the cream of the Red Bull junior programme, Carlos Sainz jr. When asked about Ericsson and Kobayashi, he said: "I want to see results — that's very important for every Formula 1 team." The former Spyker and Minardi driver said he thinks Caterham's current duo is doing "a good job", but he also hinted that a change cannot be ruled out. "We know we need performance and also of course with a team like Caterham we also always need a little bit of budget," said Albers. Although perhaps the most likely driver to make way at Caterham, Kobayashi insists he backs the sweeping changes at the struggling team. "I think this is what we needed, otherwise I think we couldn't finish the season," he said. "It was the right move." "As you see in the news I think quite a lot of people left straight away but I think we need to keep motivated. I think if we want to survive we need to change something," Kobayashi added. "Of course, it's the same from my side. I think I need to always drive 100 per cent, which gives motivation. Let's see what happens."

This scale balances a cup of water with a certain weight. Will the balance be upset if you put your finger in the water, if you're careful not to touch the glass?
Yes. The water imparts an upward force on your finger as you immerse it, so you must exert a downward force to overcome it. That force is transferred to the glass and then to the scale, which sinks.

An article in the Post Star on July 16 by reporter Amanda May Metzger announced that the Zip-flyer, the thrill ride from the top of French Mountain in Queensbury-Lake George, has received its final Town of Queensbury approvals.
The 900-foot ride on three inch steel cables running down a 35-50 foot wide swath cut on the north face of French Mountain at the very entrance of the Adirondack Park has been controversial from the moment it was proposed. Adirondack Wild asked the NYS Adirondack Park Agency (APA) to convene a public hearing on the project because only through a hearing could all the impacts and viable alternative routes for the Zip-Flyer be discussed comprehensively and openly. APA Staff did not recommend a hearing, and APA members, to my memory, did not even raise the possibility of a hearing. Adirondack Wild strongly disagreed with the APA's decision in March to issue a permit in the absence of a hearing. Several actual or anticipated project impacts, including visual impacts along State Route 9, loss of the scenic values and hiking opportunities on the summit, consistency with the area's Rural Use classification and Towers Policy, and rigorous analysis of alternatives, among others, went largely unaddressed in the APA's discussion and permit conditions. » Continue Reading.

Unfortunately you have not really managed to capture any interesting detail on the 'Drone' at all.
The out of focus petals in the FG are very distracting.I think you were too level with the subject.
You need to think about angles on macro shots and focusing from a little higher and taking the subject in positions that are not head on will give you better options for a decent shot.

What were you trying to imply in that line?
is it that james lost feelings for lily, is he still mad at her, or was he just not paying attention to the entire situation, or did it mean anything at all?
just curious, beause i can't stop thinking about that line! how does he feel about her now!!!!!!!!
Author's Response: James isn't paying attention because of Alice. And Edgar Bones is, in my head, just closer to Lily physically, so he could more easily steady her. You'll get some James/Lily ~stuff next chapter ;)
Three comments:
WOW- for the story
NOOOO - for Alice
AMAZING- for you
Absolutely luv it!!!
Author's Response: THANK YOU! :D
Wow, Very exciting chapter!! Looking forward to reading the next one! I cannot believe you are almost done though! :-(
Author's Response: I know, it's hard for even me to believe. I've been writing this for what, like, three years? And it's almost over, I'm glad you like it! :)
hey it was so saddening.but i liked it.update sooon. we're waiting.
Author's Response: Glad you liked it :D Ch. 26 just needs some tweaking.
ahhhhh! the story is almost over :(...i did tell you that this was my favorite fanfiction, didn't i?
an image of lily having no eyes is soooo freaky!!!!!!! and like BLACK SNITCHES! HA...hilarious and scary at the same time.
Author's Response: Well, he probably doesn't know what golf balls are, right? Haha and thank you! I am terrified of finishing.
A great update!
Author's Response: Thank you!
It is realy great as always. liked peter's POV though i hate him. we all know what's going on in james and lily's mind and it made the chapter different from the others!
it's so saddening about james and lily's argumment. i think you want one of them hurt in the next chapter.
in the end: CAN'T WAIT TO READ MORE!!!
Author's Response: Clever prediction. Thank you!
i like the maturity in the story-which is why it's one of my favorite stories, but you should make cliff hangers a little more exciting towards the end of this story....but i like the description you gave Lily Evans, and lol, you described Peter's POV so perfectly.
first he messes with his hair, and then he tries to see what james loves about lily so much..:)
This description of Lily Evans it awsome!!
Almost as if the lie had called to her, Lily entered the common room ......long red hair piled into a bun on top of her head..... and seeing her then, circles under her eyes making her look almost skeletal, long neck bare and vulnerable, twisted at something inside me the same way James's eyes had, and it struck me, then, how perfect they were for each other, the two broken spirits who wouldn't stop fighting.
Author's Response: I'm glad you liked it! I'll give the cliffhanging a try, but it's not something I've ever been a fan of, in terms of writing.
i'm about to read the next chapter, and what a good way to start out my afternoon. 1,2,3......:))

Phil Simms Sorry About Incident With Desmond Howard
Phil Simms joined Chris Russo on SiriusXM Mad Dog Radio on Monday and the CBS commentator discussed his altercation with Desmond Howard at the NFL Experience in Dallas.
Chris Russo: "Let me just ask you this on this whole thing with Desmond Howard. Everybody is paying attention to it. It sounds like he made a big deal about some sort of physical altercation; it was an argument but no chance of a physical altercation. What was going on with this thing on Saturday at this NFL Experience thing?"
Phil Simms: "Well, not really going to say anything about it except, um, you know, I don't know what to say."
Russo: "Are you annoyed at Howard making this public?"
Simms: "Well, of course I am. But it is what it is. It's a great lesson learned and of course I'm not excusing myself. You know, I've got to know better. It's a new Read more

Suppose you need to test a piece of software, and the software expects a set of values that vary in a particular way, but you want to generate long test sequences and be able repeat them for debug. In that case you need something like a random number generator, that isn't random, a random sequence generator.
The "rand" functions provide a value usually calculated off of the time clock, such that no rand result maps directly from the time, and the value is different every time and appears random. Really it is a sequence and it gets seeded and re-seeded in a hidden manner. For this reason, "rand" isn't always useful for testing some things.
This style of algorithm can be used to create easy repeatable tests for IPv4 addresses, digital filters, image tracking, etc. With it you can create a test bench and walk through a specific example calculation by calculation, if statement for if statement. After that you can then change the "seed" value to create a whole new test case and hunt for corner cases. For example, you might run 100k tests, and have your test framework spit out the seed values for tests that fail, and then run those tests with logging on in the debugger.
The code is relatively easy to use, just create a class instance and then ask the class for the next value.
Random r = new Random();
r.Seed = (long)numericUpDown1.Value;
double randomDouble = r.NextDouble; // Random double between 0 and 1.
r.NextGuass_Double(5, 1.5); // A value of 5 +/- 1.5 std dev. (gaussian).
r.NextFlat_Int(100, 150); // A random value between 100 and 150.
These are of course, informal requirements, but worth listing.
The key is to make a random generator and extend it for all interfaces without breaking it.
The following is a hash, a randomization of the value we extract bits from.
protected virtual ushort compute_NoSeedChange()
// This is a simple hash, and it's fast.
long[] v = {0x73ae2743a3eab13c, 0x53a75d3f2123bda1, 0x42a3bcba71a72843};
long rv = Seed;
for (int i = 0; i < v.Length; i++)
rv += v[i];
rv -= rv << 3;
rv ^= (v[i] >> 7);
rv ^= rv >> 11;
return (ushort)(rv & 0xFFFF);
If the sequence had a tendency to repeat, a scatter plot of the value would be mottled or have a pattern, or the histogram would have a pattern because certain values would get hit more often than others.
The first two images below are failures (during development), but the third (finished code) passes.
Given enough values the histogram should look flat, and when repeated with a different seed also look flat but have a slightly different shape.
3, 5, 6 were tested by inspection.
Bytes 100k 0.5 seconds 1 = 0.005 milliseconds
Double 10k 0.2 seconds 1 = 0.02 milliseconds
Guass 100k 3.2 seconds 1 = 0.032 milliseconds
This is reasonably fast, left to the reader to optimize if they want to.
With enough samples (100,000) the histogram (black line) should be flat. For a random guassian, it should look like a bell curve that drops off quickly within +/- 3 standard deviations. The following is 5 with +/- 1.5 = 1 standard deviation (1 sigma = 1.5):
That means between 3.5 and 6.5 roughly 63% of the values should be present, and roughly full containment in 3 sigma (99%), and the center peak is at 5. The red line is the ideal, and the black line is what the code produces. A cumulative probability distribution re-mapping of the random double to the correct distribution could have been done but instead the code averages four random values which in turn create a Gaussian like distribution.
I've done this before in the past in C++ but can't remember how I did it, it only took a few days to do. These things are left to the reader for fun.

I feel sad that this is associated with post punk and i don't even listen to post punk.
Hipster shut. Sweater weather 'a 11 wks prove that billboards alternative charts have gone to hell lately
Album Rating: 3.0Sweater Weather is decent. Good production, good sound. I enjoyed it well enough
Foals and Portugal frequent our Alt station here in KC.. Just saw Foals in concert last night, actually. And Portugal. The Man played a free show at P&L last week.

bobschacht commented on the blog post Why the Administration Won't Fire Ed DeMarco, Cont'd
Thanks for this, DD.
The Moral Hazard argument is based on the fallacious assumption that the original principal was based on some sort of eternal truth, whereas in reality it was based on values artificially inflated by the housing bubble. Now that the bubble has burst, the Real Estate industry doesn't want to accept any responsibility for the inflated values and wants 100% of responsibility to rest with the consumers who bought houses at these inflated values.
I like the idea of "Mark to Market." In fact, I'd like to see *all principals* tied to mark to market realities.
Another part of the truth is that government policies, initiated by President Clinton in an effort to make it easier for Americans to buy homes, encouraged inflation of house valuation. So a true reckoning would place the moral hazard on the Real Estate market, and the Government, as much as Consumers, and the burden of easing this massive debt should be shared by all three. This would also help accelerate the economic recovery.

Microfinance firms could

Mexico's Financiera Compartamos has engineered a bond deal that
represents a significant advance in breaking down some existing
barriers to the growth of these increasingly fashionable
Some 300,000 Mexican small businesses, most run by women,
rely on micro-loans from Compartamos, an organization that does
not disclose net income, but which boasts a 20% return on
assets. Like many microfinance institutions (MFIs) in Latin
America, however, Compartamos is registered in Mexico as a
Sofol, or non-deposit taking financial institution. As such, it
needs to look to investors and, ultimately, capital markets to
provide growth.
The company's inability to tap the markets had prevented it
from expanding its client base. Until July 2004, that is.
That's when Compartamos issued MP190 million ($16.6 million)

DETROIT - Factors like the level of poverty in a neighborhood, living alone, and age affect a patient's chances of being readmitted to a hospital after discharge, even after possible variations in quality of care in the hospital have been taken into account.
Those are the conclusions of a new study by Henry Ford Health System researchers who found links between readmission rates and social factors such as patients' marital status and neighborhood poverty, suggesting that readmissions are not just an issue of hospital quality.
The study appears in the May issue of Health Affairs.
"The use of readmission rate as a basis for financial penalties to hospitals assumes that readmissions are a result of poor-quality care," says Jianhui Hu, a research associate at the Henry Ford's Center for Health Policy and Health Services Research. "Our team found that there is much more to it than that.
"For example, patients living in a high-poverty neighborhood were 24 percent more likely than others to be readmitted. While the pathway from poverty to readmission risks is complicated and can be all different for different patients, things that happened after they were discharged from the hospital, at home or in the community, may put some patients in higher readmission risks."
The study noted that the proper role of readmission data as a measure of hospital quality is under active debate in the health care policy arena. At issue is a provision of the Affordable Care Act (ACD) that established the Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program.
Under that program, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) began to reduce payments to hospitals with "excess" 30-day readmissions.
Earlier studies suggested that readmissions are a product of a complex set of factors, only one of which is hospital quality of care. Many of those studies used data collected from hundreds of hospitals nationwide, where it is often hard to separate effects of variables like poverty from effects of variations in the quality of care provided by hospitals serving low-income patients.
"Few of them identified and controlled for various hospital-specific factors that might be related to readmission, such as staffing, organizational structure, discharge-planning protocols and the hospital's role in an integrated system of care," Hu explains.
So her team set out to examine the issue using data from a single urban institution - Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit - to determine the effects of patients' socioeconomic status under a single, fixed organizational and staffing structure and standard care protocols for patients of all types.
Drawing on the hospital's data bank, they identified all Medicare fee-for-service patients age 65 and older who were discharged from the hospital during 2010.
After excluding patients who died in the hospital, were discharged against medical advice or were hospitalized for certain special treatments, the researchers finalized a study group of 4,646 unique patients.
Using in-house data to determine each patient's age, sex, race, marital status, street address and diagnosis, the researchers mapped patients' addresses to census data to determine their neighborhood socioeconomic factors, including percentage of families with incomes below the federal poverty level, median household income and percentage of the population older than 25 without a high school diploma.
Their mean age was 77, and black patients made up the majority of the study group. On average, patients lived in neighborhoods where nearly 30 percent of people age 25 and older lacked a high school diploma, 17 percent of households had incomes below poverty level and the median household income was about $38,000.
Eighty percent of the 4,646 patients had no 30-day readmissions during the year, and 5 percent had multiple readmissions.
Besides the greater likelihood that patients living in high poverty neighborhoods would be readmitted, they found:
These findings suggest that effects of social factors at the patient and community levels were not confounded with variations in hospital resources. Study results should add to the ongoing debate about possible refinements to the CMS readmissions measure for hospital reimbursement, Hu says, and speak to the first of three questions raised by those who challenge the fairness of the CMS readmission penalties:
"Whether hospitals should be held accountable for the effects of poverty, illiteracy, lack of proficiency in English or lack of social support in the patients and communities they serve has not yet been resolved," Hu says.
"Our findings underscore the importance of reaching consensus on this issue and, if appropriate, changing the risk-adjustment models, related penalties or both."

Defeating the flying portal and Wart
When at the portal to reach Wart, pick up the crystal and advance to the portal. Carefully use the mushroom blocks and hit the portal with them. To beat Wart, get a vegetable, go behind him, and throw it while he is firing at you.
Use Peach for this battle. Get a fruit and avoid the bubbles that appear from his mouth. While he is harmless and motionless, hover over his head behind him. He cannot hurt you from this point. When he opens his mouth to fire bubbles, throw the fruit at him from the back of him. While he is stunned, fly back over to the front of him. Collect another fruit, avoid the bubbles, and repeat the process five more times to defeat him, most likely without being scratched.

Oct. 13 (Bloomberg) -- The Chilean peso fell for the first time in seven days as the price of copper slumped and global stocks retreated after the European Central Bank said that forcing investors to take losses on bailouts would hurt banks.
The peso slid 1.2 percent to 505.08 per U.S. dollar after surging 7.1 percent in the previous six days. Interest-rate swap rates fell before a central bank policy meeting today.
Copper, which makes up more than half of Chile's exports, fell as much as 2.7 percent on concern that Europe's lingering sovereign-debt crisis may hamper economies in Asian countries such as China. Stocks in Europe weakened, dragging the MSCI World Index down 0.6 percent after six days of increases.
"It's retracing some gains," said Katia Diaz, an economist at 4Cast Inc. in New York. "Copper is down on weak Chinese trade data and there have been reports of record high inventories in China, which place a limit on the upside for the peso."
Exports from China, the biggest buyer of the metal, rose at the slowest annual pace in seven months in September. Chinese copper inventories climbed to a record 1.9 million metric tons by the end of last year.
The central bank probably will keep its benchmark rate unchanged at 5.25 percent today, according to the median forecast of 20 economists surveyed by Bloomberg.
The one-year interest-rate swap rate fell four basis points today to 4.41 percent, after rising in five straight sessions. The two-year swap rate fell nine basis points to 4.19 percent.
The one-year inflation-linked swap rate was little changed at 2.04 percent. It has risen from a four-month low of 1.52 percent on Oct. 4.
The one-year breakeven inflation rate fell to 2.32 percent, the lowest since Aug. 11. The inflation forwards market is pricing in average inflation of 2.72 percent in the 12 months from October 2011 to 2012, according to Bloomberg calculations. Prices will rise 0.18 percent this month, according to forwards prices.

(Adds attorney general's comment in last paragraph.)
Dec. 2 (Bloomberg) -- Alabama county offices should stop demanding proof of citizenship from drivers who want to renew car tags or people registering mobile homes, the state revenue commissioner has ordered.
"Under no circumstances is a state or county official or employee to make a determination as to whether an alien is lawfully present in the United States," Revenue Commissioner Julie P. Magee said yesterday in a memo sent to local officials.
Until workers have access to a federal database, "you should not require anyone to demonstrate their U.S. citizenship or lawful presence," she said. Absent that check, people should be allowed to conduct their business with state and local offices, she said.
Court rulings have blocked enforcement of some elements of a new state immigration law, including making it a criminal misdemeanor to be in the state illegally and unregistered. Other provisions that took effect in September have produced lines of unprecedented length for such services as renewing car tags, said Martha Ogle, the DeKalb County revenue commissioner.
"October was one of the worst months I've seen, and I've been here for a very long time," Ogle said.
Portable Toilets
In Jefferson County, home of Birmingham, officials set up two portable outdoor toilets to accommodate those waiting hours in lines for vehicle registration plates.
Alabama's immigration law has been called the toughest in the U.S. Signed by Governor Robert J. Bentley on June 9, the Beason-Hammon Alabama Taxpayer and Citizen Protection Act also requires school officials to check the status of enrolling children.
On Oct. 14, a U.S. appeals court blocked enforcement of certain provisions while the rulings of U.S. District Judge Sharon Lovelace Blackburn in Birmingham are reviewed.
While Blackburn had temporarily prevented enforcement of measures prohibiting the hiring, housing or transporting people living in the U.S. unlawfully, she let police question the legal status of people stopped for suspicious behavior. She also let the authorities put anyone arrested for driving without a license before a magistrate for determination of their status.
Bentley and other state officials have said they want the Legislature to revisit the statute when lawmakers convene next year. He and other leaders have described needed changes as "tweaks" rather than wholesale revisions.
Immigrant Exodus
The law has driven illegal-immigrant laborers from the state, prompting complaints from farmers and food processors that produce fish and poultry.
Police arrested an executive of German automaker Daimler AG last month in Tuscaloosa County. A Honda Motor Co. employee was ticketed in Leeds for lacking proper papers. A Mercedes plant and a Honda factory are both major employers in the area. The cases against both individuals were dismissed.
In county offices, applicants for car tags and other services have been required to show proof of citizenship since the law took effect. Acceptable documentation was established by the state Revenue Department.
The demands for documentation sowed confusion and delays, angering Alabamians, Ogle said. DeKalb County had the state's second-highest proportion of Hispanic residents last year, according to U.S. Census Bureau figures.
Frustrating Residents
In addition to the delays, Alabamians who couldn't produce birth certificates or other acceptable documents were denied renewals of their registration plates, she said. That prompted some furious reactions, she said.
"A lot of people agreed with that law when they passed it," Ogle said. "Little did people know that it doesn't just apply to the Hispanics, it applies to everybody. Most people didn't understand that."
County officials followed a series of changing enforcement instructions, Ogle said.
Following a Nov. 23 ruling by U.S. District Court Judge Myron Thompson, counties stopped demanding proof of citizenship from those seeking manufactured-home registration renewals.
Thompson temporarily halted the citizenship checks, responding to a challenge brought by the Central Alabama Fair Housing Coalition and the Southern Poverty Law Center in Montgomery.
Magee's directive to stop requiring citizenship documentation for services such as vehicle registrations followed an opinion issued yesterday by state Attorney General Luther Strange. He said county officials can check a person's status only through a federal database, which isn't currently available in most local offices.
Until local governments obtain access to that system, they can't implement the state law banning illegal immigrants from doing business with the state, Strange said in the document. County officials "should not require anyone to demonstrate their U.S. citizenship or lawful presence in the U.S.," he said.

Where Things Come Back

When the Los Angeles City Council on May 8 approved the final environmental impact report for construction of BNSF Railway's $500 million near-dock intermodal yard in Southern California, the approval proved to be the beginning of a journey rather than the end of a saga.
Formal challenges to the adequacy of the EIR are beginning to surface, with political, environmental and community entities expressing concern about truck and rail pollution at the yard. "Facilitated negotiations" with Los Angeles and BNSF Railway on one side and Long Beach on the other began on Wednesday, and formal legal challenges are expected to be filed soon.
BNSF's Southern California International Gateway will be located four miles from the Los Angeles-Long Beach port complex. Trains carrying intermodal containers to the eastern half of the country will be assembled there. At present, BNSF's intermodal containers are trucked 24 miles to its Hobart yard near downtown Los Angeles.
While removing 1 million truck trips a year from the congested I-710 freeway, and reducing the drayage distance to only four miles sounds like a good logistical and environmental move, residents in a west Long Beach neighborhood located near the SCIG site do not want the rail facility in their back yard.
Residents say their neighborhood already has to deal with truck and rail traffic generated by Union Pacific's Intermodal Container Transfer Facility, which is adjacent to the proposed SCIG site. The city of Long Beach will represent its west side neighborhood with a legal challenge if necessary.
The Natural Resources Defense Council requested that the Port of Los Angeles, the lead agency for the SCIG project, participate in formal mediation talks under the California Environmental Quality Act. The NRDC over the past decade has successfully used the CEQA law to block or delay port-related projects. Los Angeles rejected the NRDC request.
NRDC will likely file suit soon, said David Pettit, the environmental organization's lead attorney in Los Angeles. CEQA contains tight deadlines for legal challenges, and the June 10 deadline is approaching. The filing will trigger a CEQA requirement for mediation, but if mediation fails to bring a solution, the NRDC will continue with it lawsuit, Pettit said.
The SCIG project involves two municipal jurisdictions. The 156-acre site in located in an industrial area of Los Angeles, but it borders a west Long Beach neighborhood with schools and residences.
SCIG, in a commercial sense, will benefit both ports because BNSF serves Long Beach as well as Los Angeles. The Long Beach City Council, which is taking the side of the residents, has already indicated it will file suit if the facilitated talks fail to produce an acceptable plan.
BNSF said it is committed to building the greenest intermodal yard in the country, with electric cargo-handling equipment and requirements for the cleanest diesel and natural gas trucks on the market.
Pettit said ideally SCIG should be built on-dock at the port complex. However, if that option is not feasible because of space and transportation logistics limitations, BNSF must commit to a path to zero-emission technology when that technology is commercially feasible, he said.
BNSF and the Port of Los Angeles have been working on the EIR for years, but the beginning of construction is at least a year away because industrial and commercial tenants on the site must move. BNSF spokeswoman Lena Kent said the railroad has given the tenants one year to vacate the property.
When the date for ground-breaking approaches, NRDC will likely file another court action asking for an injunction to block construction, Pettit said. Under CEQA, a request for an injunction can be filed when construction is imminent, he said.

Tommy Milton United States
- Full name Tommy Milton
- Birth date November 14, 1893
- Birthplace St Paul, Minnesota, United States
- Date of death July 10, 1962 (68 years 238 days)
- Place of death Mount Clemens, Michigan, United States
Tommy Milton etched his name in the record books as the first two-time winner of the Indianapolis 500 and was one of the leading US drivers of the period immediately after World War One. He also broke the Land Speed Record in 1920. What made his achievements all the more remarkable was that he was blind in his left eye and had restricted vision in his right, the reason for him being turned down for military service.
He started out driving in a circus act before he turned to racing on dirt tracks in the mid west, and by 1917 he was competing all over the country, recording his first major win at a track in Providence, Rhode Island. In 1919, he was one of the dominant figures in American racing, winning five of the nine championship races including the "International Sweepstakes" at Sheepshead Bay, New York, and making his debut at the prestigious Indianapolis 500. Later that year he suffered severe burns when his car burst into flames during a race at Uniontown, Pennsylvania. While convalescing he worked on building a radical twin-engined car, on April 27, 1920, he broke Ralph DePalma's land speed record by recording 156.046 mph at Daytona Beach. He returned to the track the following year to win the Universal Trophy Race on June 19th en route to capturing the 1920 United States National Driving Championship.
In 1920 he had finished third at the Indianapolis 500, and in 1921 he drove a straight-eight Frontenac built by Louis Chevrolet to victory. In 1922 fuel tank problems forced him out of the race after only 44 laps, but he came back in 1923 driving for the H.C.S. Motor Co. with a Miller 122 and won for the second time. His last Indy 500 was in 1927 when he finished eighth.
At the 1936 race, he returned to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway to drive the Packard 120 Pace Car. At his suggestion, the tradition of giving the race winner the Pace Car began that year. In 1949 Milton was appointed chief steward for the Indianapolis 500 but health problems forced him to retire in 1957. After a long illness he committed suicide in 1962.

Qiao Xing Mobile Communication Co., Ltd. (NASDAQOTH:QXMCF)
The Company is a domestic manufacturer of mobile handsets. It manufactures and sells mobile handsets based on Global System for Mobile Communications, or GSM, global cellular technologies.
Anyone who invests in QXM or XING surely has brain damage. Their management is completely inbred, with Wu's sons, and other family members throughout the chain. They also have the worst transparency record of any Chinese company I can think of. From their current price level they may appreciate, but only because the stock is so cheap, but in the long run, they will underperform most other issues based on their poor and dishonest management. Wu is also "in bed" with DKR Capital Management, a very dishonest and unethical hedge fund. As per one of their new, non-family executives, I've been told that there have been "way too many transactions between XING/QXM and DKR." And when you look back over the filings, Wu literally gave away tens of millions in share holder value to this company. A SEC investigation would surely uncover illegal activity. This is one stock to stay well clear of!

This company is way too shady to invest in. It seems like all their financials are unaudited and they even issued new convertible bonds in May 2008. With all the cash they supposedly have, why would they do that? Just remember, if it seems to good to be true, it probably is...
Good points, I have been reading some things about the Wu family in a few message boards and believe this to be very interesting info and of concern. I do have a stake in QXM and plan to dig deeper to see what I can validate on this. If you have links to any info concerning this, can you please share?

Rickmers Maritime Trust swung to an $11.1 million profit in the third quarter from a $54.6 million loss a year ago, as the Singapore-based container shipowner boosted charter revenue and trimmed financing costs.
Total charter revenue was up 4 percent at $38.2 million, mainly because the daily hire rate for a 5,060 20-foot equivalent units ship jumped to $23,888 from $8,288 in the third quarter of 2010.
The trust, which operates ships for the Hamburg-based Rickmers Group, made a net profit of $29 million in the first nine months against a $48.6 million loss in the 2010 period on revenue up 1 percent at $112 million. Financing costs were cut 10 percent to $10.8 million from $12 million a year ago, as the trust further reduced its outstanding bank loans to $670.9 million at September 30 from $635.1 million at the end of 2010.
"We believe that our improved financial position and long-term charter leases will stand us in good stead to weather the challenging market conditions and continue to generate steady cash flow," said chief financial officer Gerard Low. "But we are also mindful of developments in the global economic climate, and their potential impact on our industry. We will devote careful attention to risk management and remain focused on deleveraging our balance sheet."
Rickmers currently operates 16 ships ranging from 3,450 TEUs to 5,060 TEUs with an average charter rate of $25,270 per day. The trust cancelled a $920 million container ship order in 2010.

Cuzco has many street sellers, most seliing the same thing, we bought some postcards from a boy called Pablo Picasso & later he came back to try again and was called William !! can obviously spot the gullable easliy, but we saw through him & refused to buy more (kim is tough). Ended up in local chinese, menu was in spanish & ended up with 3 soups....still don�t know how !
The second week, we had our own guide for the whole week, yes just the 2 of us ! everyone else seemed to be doing the trips in reverse, don�t know why ?
Most people were doing the inca trail for 4 days (1 in 10 drop out first day) we decided to short cut the system & not go...we took the train which was very tiring as we sat drinking cold beer....we could see them walking up & were with them in spirit
We found walking about MachuPicchu difficult enough......the experience would have been awesome, but not convinced would have lived through it !!!
BUT what a place.....it is completely overwhelming, set in huge mountains topped with fluffy clouds, must be seen to be believed....did the 3 hour tour & then just sat to take it all in for another few hours. After centuries, the inca design is still earthquake proof !
Agua Calientes is the small town at the base of MachuPicchu where we stayed, it was Mothers day here, and full of local festivities, joined the parade of the Madonna (not the singer) & the drinking & dancing action that followed. Colin tried Alpace, but avoided Guinea Pig as we don�t eat pets (Jackie take note) Spent a few hours in the hot springs at night drinking cold beers in the pouring rain (that was warm)....surrounded by mountains.....what a life !
The final part of the GAP adventure was going into the Amamzon, arriving at the frontier town of Porto Maldonato, where we stored the backpacks & took a bus for an hour on the dirt road to the Tambopata river to pick up a motorized canoe for the 3 hour trip, this was more like a sightseeing tour as so much to see.
The Lodge was great, but no electricity only candle, no aircon or fans in 90% humidity is not funny ! mosquitos a plenty, stank of deet, not nice but practical, used all the clothes in 2 days despite 3 showers a day !! but well worth it.....did a night walk in jungle, saw so much wildlife, most of which could do you serious harm, mainly Snakes & Spiders, The guide said after walkng for 45 mins, turn off torches & take in the sounds etc., in the pitch black !! Colin thought this was a great idea !! managed to keep light off for all of 30 secs.....
Next day did a 4 hour hike into the jungle, saw the day shift animals, most of which could do you serious harm (suprise)....didn�t know there were so many types of Ant....army, fire, leaf cutters & bullet which were massive, spiders galore, coaxed a tarantuhla out of it�s hiding place (see photo, but now Jean) we thought the guide was nuts at this point & lost his sanity, but he seemed to know what he was doing, but we thought he could be related to Steve Irwin ?
Final part of tour was to a plantation, very poor conditions for the people, being run by a couple of 60 year olds, lived in a small shack, no electricity, washed clothes in the river & had to take a water taxi into the town 3 hours away each month to selll produce & buy supplies......but they seemed happy enough & tourist money helps....we ended with a night time canoe trip to spot Cayman
We flew back to Lima, where riding in a taxi is classed as an extreme sport, can get dinner for 2 with 5 beers for around a fiver....Colin discovered that some Git in custome had cut off the lock on backpack, Grumpy old man as usual.....did some usual tourist stuff & flying off to Seattle via Houston for a few days, before starting another tour to Alaska, so watch this space.
We really enjoy getting news & comments from home, so STAY IN TOUCH

Hi Kim and Colin
I feel quite exhausted just reading about your latest adventures, I am wondering whether you should have had the relaxing Aruba bit after all this South American adventuring!Particularly liked the chocolate advice, this could be useful advice for all sorts of situations I'm sure! not so keen on all the interaction with wildlife! you do like to live on the wild side!! Kim, what are you doing with all these Guides?

Hi Kim & Colin
Looks like you guys are having an amazing time - love the photos. I think Peru has just gone to the top of my 'must see' list - had better start training for that hike now.
Glad the Bonine worked, let me know if you need fresh supplies!!
Love Eileen & John

Sentimental Circus Shappo Pillow
Product Number - 753418
Bin Number - P-ROW
We've come to associate San-X stuff with cute and plushy. Rightfully so, and that's the case with this Sentimental Circus pillow featuring Shappo the bunny ringmaster. His floppy ears and wry smile are some of the details that make this pillow irresistible for any fan of the character. Plump and soft, place this pillow on any bed or couch and you can't help but want to jump in.
