A true story about a teacher in a racially divided school who gives her students what they've always needed, a voice. Erin Gruwell comes to a southern California high school bubbling over with naive optimism. She quickly discovers that her unruly classroom is not easily won over by her good intentions. After a few floundering attempts to connect with her students, Gruwell gives them the assignment of keeping journals about their own lives, This assignment is something that the class can bite into with relish. This eventually bonds them together and pushes racial rivalries aside. Draws heavily from the published journals of the real students themselves.

The M26 Modular Accessory Shotgun System (MASS) is a developmental under-barrel shotgun attachment for the M16/M4 family of United States military firearms. It can also be fitted with a pistol grip and collapsible stock to act as a stand-alone weapon. It is replacing the current M500 shotguns in service.[1]
The M26 MASS is a militarized version of the Lightweight Shotgun System, developed by C-More Systems and manufactured by Vertu Corporation[2] and originally marketed toward special operations forces. It attracted the interest of soldiers being deployed to Afghanistan who wanted to reduce the number of individual weapons they had to carry by using a shotgun as a rifle attachment instead of a discrete weapon.
The M26 has been in development at the U.S. Army's Soldier Battle Lab since the late 1990s. The idea was to provide soldiers with lightweight accessory weapons which could be mounted under the standard issue M16 rifle or M4 carbine. These would provide soldiers with additional capabilities, such as: door breaching using special slugs, very short-range increased lethality using 00 buckshot, and less-lethal capabilities using teargas shells, rubber slugs, rubber pellets, or other non-lethal rounds.
The original idea was based on the Knight's Armament Masterkey (KAC Masterkey) system, which dates back to the 1980s and originally comprised a shortened, tube-fed Remington 870 shotgun mounted under an M16 rifle or M4 carbine. The M26 improved upon the original Masterkey concept with a detachable magazine option and more comfortable handling, thanks to a bolt-operated system. The detachable magazine offers quicker reloading and a quicker change of ammunition types. The relatively large bolt handle is located closer to the rear rather than the slide on the Masterkey pump shotgun, and thus is easier to cycle in combat. The bolt handle can be mounted on either side of the weapon. The M26 was chosen by the U.S. Military over the Masterkey as a breaching tool.[3] At the present time, small numbers of M26 MASS shotguns have been issued to U.S. troops in Afghanistan. The current contract calls for the delivery of 9,000 shotguns.[1] In February 2012, the first unit was fully equipped with M26s.[4]
War in Afghanistan[edit]
The shotgun is currently in low rate initial production.[5] In May 2008, the Army announced it would procure 35,000 units.[6] The first M26 shotguns were procured and fielded to military police and engineer units in 2010. However, some units in both Iraq and Afghanistan were issued the M26 in small quantities as early as 2003.[7] Full initial fielding began in 2011.[8]

Barnes, Maestri are top performers of Rd. Eight
Sydney outfielder Brandon Barnes and Brisbane right-hander Alex Maestri have earned Round Eight Player of the Week honours. In a weekend filled with offence, Barnes stood out from the pack by accumulating 15 RBI in the five games against Melbourne. Amid the offensive explosion, Maestri tossed the league's third complete game of the season, allowing no earned runs in a win over Canberra.
A Houston Astros prospect that just joined Sydney a few weeks ago, Barnes has immediately and undeniably made his impact felt in the Blue Sox line-up. He has batted .345 and driven in 20 runs in his first 14 games, helping his team to an 11-3 record since his arrival that has rocketed them up to second place in the standings. In 16 games prior to his arrival, the Blue Sox were averaging 3.4 runs per game, but that number has jumped to an average of 6.4 with Barnes in the batting order, demonstrating how impactful he has been.
This series, he put on a display that Sydney fans will not soon forget. In Thursday's series opener, he made sure the Blue Sox would continue their winning streak by taking matters into his own hands. Trailing by three in the seventh, Barnes came to the plate against Melbourne's Nic Ungs and powered a home run over the left field wall, scoring teammate David Kandilas and cutting the deficit to one. Then, in the ninth, with Sydney still down by one, Barnes brought home Kandilas and Mitch Dening with his second home run of the game, giving his team a 9-7 win.
Barnes added home runs on Friday and Sunday, also connecting for a pair of doubles in the series. In five games against the Aces, he batted .375 (9-for-24) with four home runs, seven runs scored, and 15 RBI.
Honourable mentions for the batting award included Perth's Tim Kennelly and Mychal Givens, as well as Melbourne's Brad Harman and Paul Weichard.
Maestri, a native of Italy, has been excellent for the Bandits all season, but stepped his performance up to a new level in Thursday's start against the Cavalry. With his co-ace Yohei Yanagawa departed for Japan, the righty took matters into his own hands and made sure Brisbane would start the series with a win. He went the full nine innings for the victory, the third complete game in the ABL this season. Canberra scored only one run in the game, which was unearned, and managed just two hits, as Maestri struck out four.
Between Kody Hightower's double leading off the third inning and Travis Scott's RBI double with two outs in the ninth, Maestri faced 24 batters without allowing a base knock. The win was his first since 11 November, helping Brisbane keep pace with Canberra and Melbourne in the competition for the final playoff spot.
For the season, Maestri is tied for second in the ABL with 44.2 innings pitched and ranks third with 40 strikeouts. He has a 2.82 ERA and has allowed opponents to bat just .200 against him. He will be relied upon heavily to get wins for the Bandits each time he takes the mound down the stretch as they hope to achieve their first playoff appearance.
Runners up for the pitching award were Maestri's teammate Justin Staatz, Adelaide's Reed Brown, Perth's Cameron Lamb, and Kellen Kmiecik of the Cavalry.
In Round Nine, Barnes and the Blue Sox will be in Canberra to face the "UberGlobal" Cavalry, while Maestri and the Bandits will travel cross-country for a series with the 'Alcohol Think Again' Perth Heat. In the other series, the Jet Couriers Melbourne Aces will host the Adelaide Bite.
Fans can follow games through individual team streaming and radio partners. The ABL also offers the popular Gameday technology, which tracks live pitch-by-pitch action at www.theabl.com.au.

APICS 2009 Convention: Day 3
APICS 2009 Convention: Day 3
Written By:
Khudsiya Quadri
October 6 2009
Today's general session showcased people from around the world (Mexico, China, Italy, South Africa, Poland, India, Egypt, US, etc.) and their stories about what work in manufacturing and supply chain means to them. The idea behind this was to show us how supply chain concepts are being embraced worldwide—and the presenters did it by showing media clips and images from different continents.
Instead of learning sessions and case studies, this morning we attended two different mini workshop sections: despite the fact that I'm a business analyst and supposed to preach about eliminating spreadsheets, I attended the
Excel workshop
for better inventory management, while my colleague Gabriel wanted to understand what
SCREAM (Supply Chain Risk Evaluation and Management
) was all about.
I was very intrigued by the description of the session: "Microsoft Excel can bring order to the chaos when your enterprise resource software can't get the job done." In other words, when your car doesn't work, use a bike, or just walk! In my opinion, when your enterprise software doesn't do the job, the last thing you should do is use spreadsheets.
Gabriel was part of demonstration simulating an H1N1 epidemic in Toronto. The audience was divided into four teams, delegated to take care of communications, medical first response, and other measures taken in this type of situation. It was a very good exercise which showed us that we are not at all prepared for such events. Nor are supply chain companies, since out of the hundred people attending, just a few said they were prepared for the unpredictable.
The first half of the day ended with a session on supply chain performance management by IBM Cognos, which included a short demo of the product. Speaking of IBM, the vendor seems to have the most interesting booth here, where they show several different software solutions (most of them open-source) for the supply chain and distribution industries. Some other vendors we saw are offering solutions for inventory management, forecasting, demand management, sales and operations planning, etc.
Follow our blog post series to find out specific details on particular
and solutions we're meeting at the APICS Expo.

Visiting Lucky Scent's Scent Bar, West Hollywood
I'd read quite a bit about Lucky Scent's scent bar in West Hollywood, and I'd planned to stop by at some point, but as I was wandering down Beverly Boulevard on Saturday afternoon and I spied it across the street, I decided I'd be amiss if I were not to stop by, check the place out, soak up the atmosphere and find myself an ideal new scent. Perfume shopping usually intimidates me somewhat, so I was curious as to how I would find a specialist perfume experience, rather than just sniffing bottles in a department store.
The Scent Bar stocks unique and individual fragrances from around the world. There were so many hard to find brands there, as well as so many I've never heard of before. I love that on their website you can buy little sample bottles, so you can have a play around with different fragrances too, if you can't go to the store.
Can you imagine what it would be like to work here? Such a totally awesome, beautifully aesthetic store. I have a real thing for plain white interiors at the moment, and I love the quirky details and the exposed floor.
No self respecting fragrances would be complete without an array of Diptyque candles. I have not pictured it, but I stood there for about 5 minutes sniffing their new pine tree scented candle for Christmas like a mad woman. I'm quite tempted to treat myself to the miniature version to burn this holiday in my apartment to make up for the fact I won't have a real tree for the very first year ever. It smells divine.
After taking these pictures, I sat myself down at the scent bar, and told one of the women working there that my favourte scents for fragrences were rose and vanilla, and she started walking around the store, pulling down bottles and handing me fragrances she thought I'd like. She was very, very good and while all the scents she handed me were lovely, she was bang on with the first one she gave me to try; Attar De Roses by Keiko Mecheri, a perfumer I'd never heard of before. It reminds me of Diptyque's special edition rose scent from last year, but with something deeper and spicy replacing the fresh top note.

I had sudden dry eyes really bad since an eye exam in November
Resolved Question:
I had sudden dry eyes really bad since an eye exam in November 2011-in preparation of cataract surgery. I'd worn RGP contacts for over 40 yrs without any problems. I was told to wear only my glasses until surgery, being checked weeks later, but the severe dry eyes started within 10 hrs after that exam. Also, I've worn just my glasses for days before, even just a week prior to this visit and didn't have ANY problems. The eye surgeon at that visit in November also said my eyes were completely healthy, except for the cataracts. I think someone put the wrong drops in my eyes or something-NEVER had ANY symptoms, ever-could wear my contacts 14 hrs a day without any problems. I am now on Restasis and still having problems. I didn't get the result with the lens implant that I was told I would get and have been trying soft contacts, but they make my eyes feel dryer than they do without them. Any ideas? No autoimmune disorders etc.

Doctor DanB :
Hello and thanks for your question. Are you available to chat?
Doctor DanB :
There is no medical reason for a significant dry eyes syndrome to start after an eye exam because of the wrong drops being put in the eye. My suspicion is that you may have received a corneal abrasion associated with somebody checking your eye pressure at the exam. It is also common though to have significant dry eye problems after having cataract surgery. You may have had a corneal abrasion from pressure being measured in your eye at the examination but then had significant dry eye results from the cataract surgery sequentially. This would account for the symptoms seeming like they all started at the examination, but I do not see a medical reason for that. The scenario I described is much more likely. Does this make sense?
I've had a corneal abrasion before-it wasn't that. I woke up about 2 hours after I went to sleep and couldn't open my eyes. I was scared. My eyelids felt like sandpaper and my eyes were bone dry. I kept yawning and doing everything I could and finally lifted my lids open. I went to the bathroom and used my contact solution to wet my eyes as I'd never needed anything before and didn't have anything in the house. I was hoping it was temporary but it wasn't. It continued and I didnt have the cataract surgery until January 2012 and yes that did make it worse. I was put on the restasis about a month or more after surgery because there were things happening to my corneas. It helped the night time sandpaper feeling eyelids but the eyes are still dry. It hasn't gone away since that appt in Nov 2011. The tech was spacey and kept doing things in the wrong order during the appt. She kept reading things and I was in tears trying to read the chart-it was like she didn't believe that I couldn't read it. Then she put drops in my eyes and I asked if she read that I needed very mild dilating drops if that was what she put in and all of a sudden she runs and puts something else in my eyes. Something happened.
Doctor DanB :
While I'm sure you have had a corneal abrasion before and know what it feels like, it is also quite a common thing for the ophthalmologist to see a subclinical corneal abrasion that ophthalmologists only can detect after someone's had an eye examination. And this may not feel like a classic corneal abrasion, but it can disturb the corneal epithelium just the same as a classic corneal abrasion and can lead to further problems in people who have corneas that are predisposed to dry eye syndrome or to healing problems. Regardless, you need significant help with your dry eyes. Have you seen a corneal specialist yet?
Even if I had a corneal abrasion, the dry eyes started hours AFTER that happened-had NO symptoms before that even while the opthalmologist saw me-he said my eyes were healthy, remember? It never went away. My eye surgeon tried to blow it off as wearing my glasses instead on contacts caused it, but I kept telling him that wasn't an unusual thing for me to do. I am seeing my eye surgeons partner next week regarding the secondary cataracts. I was too disappointed in my eye surgeon who told me I'd NEVER have to wear contacts or reading glasses again after my cataract surgery-I have to do both unless I'm mostly driving around all day which is rarely. I'll ask the Dr next week about a specialist. Thanks for the idea.
Doctor DanB :
You're welcome. Good luck. Your feedback is important to me and will help me improve my encounter with future customers. Please rate your encounter with me by providing positive feedback (by pressing the smiley face); any positive feedback and/or bonus you may feel prompted to provide would be welcomed and is appreciated.

David Wilson at Social Media Optimisation points to a very interesting article in the India Times. In this article, HCL Technologies estimate that over the next two years, two thirds of their recruits will come from social media.
We all know that these days recruiters are quite likely to Google recruits … and that this could come up with their dodgy Facebook profile, or the inappropriate comments that they made on a forum. A few companies set up areas in Second Life to help with recruiting; others establish forums and live chat on their own sites.
And job-seekers have been told about how to manage their personal brand online, so that if people want to investigate them, they find finely tuned portfolios rather than raucous college exploits.
But this is new: using the social web to find the recruits in the first place.
Trawling blogs, LinkedIn and Facebook for potential recruits is quite different to using these to investigate potential new hires. Clearly it is limiting the pool of potential recruits to some extent, but if you want recruits who are up to speed with things technological, this may be an interesting source of supply. You may not be aware that Facebook was the 5th most visited URL in the UK, according to Hitwise …
That means there are a lot of people at Facebook. Some of them could be your next wave of recruits.

i respect the opinions of the people who has it, but for me, its something i dont want to put in my body.
hmmm, how about sun tatoos? hehe

KDE developers have unleashed their first monthly stable point release in the KDE 4.12 series that contains the latest applications and platform work in the pre-Qt5 pre-Frameworks5 world.
KDE 4.12.1 corrects 45 bugs and is mostly focused upon improving Kontact, Umbrello, Okular, Konqueror, and Dolphin.
This isn't the most exciting KDE point release given that most developers are tasked with working on Plasma 2, porting software to KDE Frameworks 5, etc, but for end-users it's out today and more details can be learned at
. Last week a
KDE Frameworks 5 Tech Preview
was released following in the
KDE Plasma 2 Tech Preview
from last month while all of these next-generation KDE software technologies will be stabilized in the months ahead.

When President Obama first met the Saudi royals, he seemed to bow at the waist. Either that or he doubled over in pain.
Did he bow? Or didn't he? That was the topic du jour at the press briefing that day.
But now we have the answer: Obama is, indeed, really bowing to the Saudis as he visits the Middle East this week.
First, he is bypassing Israel. Visiting the Middle East and not going to Israel would be like touring North America and omitting a stop in the United States. It makes sense only if you interpret it as a deliberate slap in the face of Jerusalem and a statement to the Arab world that America's pro-Israeli policy is changing.
But as he goes to Saudi Arabia, the State Department, headed by Hillary Clinton, has announced that it has accepted the ground rules for media coverage of the Obama visit to the royal family and its domain. Reporters will be allowed to cover only the actual meetings between the Saudis and Obama and will not be permitted to visit the rest of the country or report on anything else they see during the trip.
Reporters who violate these terms are subject to arrest and imprisonment by the Saudi government!!!
Hillary and Obama accepted these terms.
Since when does the U.S. government act as the assistant to the Saudi monarchy in charge of controlling the media? And since when would an American president permit this shackling of the media and still proceed with the diplomatic visit without a murmur of protest?
Since when? Since Obama became president determined to appease Iran, Saudi Arabia, the Palestinian Authority, Hamas, and all of the extremists while slighting Israel and turning his back on democracy.
Obama is outraged at those horrible Israeli settlements. They have to go! They are the major threat to Mideast peace! Not the Iranian development of nuclear weapons or its subsidization of Hamas and Hezbollah or the Saudi royal subsidies for these terror organizations or welfare payments to the families of suicide bombers. No, it's those damn settlements.
It isn't enough if Israel promises not to build new ones. It can't be allowed to build new homes for family members who already live there! If junior gets married and has a family, he'd better move out back to Israel. He can't be allowed to build his own home in the settlements. The threat to world peace is just too grave to permit it.
The Obama Mideast policy is turning our priorities on their heads. It is painful to watch and it is likely to get worse until Americans get a fundamental point: Obama is determined to end 60 years of support for Israel, and this trip to the Middle East is the start of it.

Spurs beaten in controversy
A controversial late goal from Nani and a first-half header by Manchester United captain Nemanja Vidic ensured Tottenham's 21-year wait for victory at Old Trafford continued.
United captain Vidic opened the scoring with a header after 31 pulsating minutes before Nani reacted quickest to some goalmouth confusion to prod home five minutes from time.
Spurs were furious with referee Mark Clattenburg for allowing the second goal, scored after goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes placed what he believed to be a dead ball.
Rafael van der Vaart could have put Spurs in front when he curled against the far post and Spurs continued to push.
After Van der Vaart failed to beat Edwin Van der Sar from a tight angle, Roman Pavlyuchenko almost got lucky when his 25-yard effort nearly found its way over the line courtesy of Vidic's deflection.
But United held firm in controversial fashion.

NB: Prior to testing ensure that Theme Designer Mode is enabled. 1. Select Afterburner theme from Theme selector 2. Select Afterburner settings page from the list of custom settings pages listed under Themes from the Site Administration/Appearance menu 3. Check that the title inside the settings page itself says "Afterburner Custom Settings" 4. Add a URL to a logo image (eg. http://moodlestudio.co.uk/images/testlogo.jpg) 5. Add some text to the footnote textarea. (eg. Copyright 2011) 6. Add some CSS to the custom css textarea (eg. .block .header .title h2
7. Save settings 8. Check to see that the Afterburner original logo has been replaced by the image from the URL entered in the settings page. 9. Check to see that the footnote is present in the left-hand side of the footer. 10. Check that whatever CSS entered has taken effect.
This is Phase 1 of a two phase task to add custom settings to Afterburner
The main moodle.git repository has just been updated with latest weekly modifications. You may wish to rebase your PULL branches to simplify history and avoid any possible merge conflicts. This would also make integrator's life easier next week.
TIA and ciao
PS: Note this is the last message of this type that you will receive along the whole November month, because we are running continuous integration this weeks while QA tests for release of Moodle 2.2 (Dec 1st) are being performed.
Ciao Eloy,
After re-basing this I noticed that I had missed off $string['configtitle'= 'Afterburner Custom Settings'; from theme/afterburner/lang/en/theme_afterburner.php.
Can you tell me the easiest way I can 'edit' this without causing too many problems for myself in GIT? Or should I just create a new sub-task and do it as a separate commit?
Cheers Mary
Just added one more commit to fix the missing configtitle. Thanks Mary
Hi Mary, I realise i'm not the best person to review this but SamH is away
I've one concern bugging me which i don't fully understand, theme/afterburner/settings.php has $settings->add() code block outside of the If ($ADMIN->fulltree) block. is there any specific reason for this? i've seen other themes and other settings have this inside the 'if' block.
Thanks for spotting that Aparup,
I had added the last section (Custom CSS) after I had finished the page and forgot to include it within the Admin Tree!!!
I'll fix and re-submit. Thanks! Mary
Thanks Mary, re-opening this now then.
Thank you Mary, this has been integrated into master.
custom css works! thanks!
The master fixes corresponding to this issue have been sent upstream. Fixes for other branches (19, 20, 21 stable) will be sent in the very-next days.
Thanks for the hard work! Closing, ciao

Lord of the Prog
Just as grunge might've never existed if it hadn't been for hair metal, punk might've never existed if it hadn't been for prog rock, even if the Sex Pistols were joking about their collective hatred of Pink Floyd. Non-profit 826LA's Prog Angeles: An 826LA Fundraiser Celebrating the Music of Yes, King Crimson, and Pink Floyd pays tribute to the era that gave us bloated, run-on, migraine-inducing guitar and Mellotron solos by bands obsessed with the weather, science, fairies and medieval shit. The lineup – boasting most of Incubus, Weezer's Scott Shriner, Yes' Billy Sherwood and California Wildebeest's Marc Weingarten – will play music by Pink Floyd, King Crimson and Yes. The organizers will also introduce an upcoming book of essays titled Yes Is the Answer (McSweeney's), featuring Matthew Sweet, The Plimsouls' Peter Case and various writers (including former LA Weekly deputy editor Joe Donnelly) professing their love of the genre. Tonight, your endurance will be tested; remember, Pink Floyd's "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" is nine-parts long and runs over 26 minutes. Somewhere out there even Rick Wakeman is rubbing his temples.

Quoting Scimet:Sounds great. |
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 2:23 PM GMT on August 21, 2010
A tropical wave (Invest 95L) in the far eastern Atlantic about 350 miles southwest of the Cape Verdes Islands has become more organized this morning. Satellite loops show that the wave has some rotation, and heavy thunderstorm activity has increased in recent hours, after a period overnight with little change. Water vapor satellite loops show that there is some dry air to the north of 95L, but this dry air currently appears to be too far away to significantly interfere with development. The main impediment to development is the moderate 10 - 20 knots of wind shear over the system. The shear is forecast to remain in the moderate range through Monday, then decrease. This should allow 95L to develop into a tropical depression Monday or Tuesday. NHC is giving 95L a 30% chance of developing into a tropical depression by Monday morning. With 95L's recent increase in organization, these odds should probably be 50%.
Figure 1. Morning satellite image of 95L.
Forecast for 95L
A ridge of high pressure will force 95L to the west or west-northwest for the next five days, and the system should increase its forward speed from its current 5 - 10 mph to 15 - 20 mph by Monday. A series of two powerful troughs of low pressure are predicted to move off the U.S. East Coast next week and cross the Atlantic; these troughs should be able to pull 95L far enough to the northwest so that it will miss the Lesser Antilles Islands. If 95L stays weak or does not develop in the next five days, as predicted by the NOGAPS model, it has a chance of eventually threatening Bermuda. If 95L develops into a hurricane, as predicted by most of the computer models, it will probably recurve to the east of Bermuda and not threaten any land areas.
Elsewhere in the tropics
The ECMWF model is predicting formation of a tropical depression in the western Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Texas 6 - 7 days from now.
Pakistan's monsoon rains diminish; Indus River flood crest nears the coast
The flooding on Pakistan's largest river, the Indus, has slowly eased along the upper and middle stretches where most of the heavy monsoon rains fell in late July and early August. However, a pulse of flood waters from these heavy rains is headed southwards towards the coast, and flood heights have risen to near all-time record levels today at the Indus River gauge station nearest to the coast, Kotri (Figure 2.) The new flooding has forced the evacuation of an additional 150,000 people in Pakistan today. Flood heights at every monitoring station along the Indus have been the highest or almost the highest since records began in 1947. Fortunately, the monsoon has entered a weak to moderate phase, and heavy rain is not expected over the flood region over the next few days, according to the Pakistan Meteorological Department.

Quoting Scimet:Sounds great. |
Quoting bwt1982:to be fair Colin did head west of the early tracks and became a threat to Bermuda. Thankfully its forward speed kept it from intensifying so when it hit strong wind sheer it just fizzled and died. |
lets take things up a notch |
Quoting bwt1982: I really do not remember that at all must of been another blog. |
Quoting MiamiHurricanes09:You gots to have been a sailor. |
Very nice uncluttered forecast map. |
Quoting scott39:LMAO!!! |
Quoting aquak9: Right now they are saying 9:00 pm start. Not sure how long they would wait if lightning continues. |
National Hurricane Center Tropical Cyclone Advisory #1A TROPICAL DEPRESSION EP092010 0:00 AM UTC August 22 2010 ================================ SUBJECT: Tropical Depression Organizing LOCATION 13.7N 93.5W MAX WINDS: 30 knots CENTRAL PRESSURE: 1006 hPa Tropical Cyclone Watch ====================== A Tropical Storm Watch is in effect for the Mexico coast from Salina Cruz westward to Lagunas de Chacahua |
It's crucial to see what T-number the satellite agencies give 05L. That will probably be the give as to what intensity we see at 11p.m. |
Quoting scott39: Yeah I guess so! Just like Colin. It was plain to see it was a "fish" from the start but EVERYONE kept saying "its going west" "its going to miss the front" "its going to the carib"..... And in the end like always it was a "fish" besides coming close to Bermuda. |
Quoting MiamiHurricanes09:Pirates say it all the time. Be my guest |
Sooo, in 2 hours Danielle? |
Quoting nrtiwlnvragn: hooboy. Duh. Shows you how well I keep up with sports. we will be rumbly most of the evening, I can be sure of that. Gust fronts on occasion, trees wooshing around up high. Sounds and feels awesome-cool. DEEEP long slow rumbles, occasional strobe lights. How long will/can they postpone the game? |
Quoting smuldy:exactly, I couldnt have said it better myself! |
Quoting earthlydragonfly: That is a totally awesome picture! |
Quoting TropicalAnalystwx13:Why, nobody else can use it? |
That 18Z HWRF should be discounted. Take a look here at the strength of Danielle at 126 hr. Tropical storm winds which would explain the westward drift or stall. So take your pick of which to believe. Tropical Storm Danielle moving west unable to "shoot" the weakness or Cat 2 or 3 Danielle following the path of least resistance between the highs. The latter still looks the most believable. Link |
Quoting scott39:And because tracking tropical cyclones is so complex and relies on so many factors it is usually easy to see something that is questionable, ie strong deep troughs in August with only moderate ridging to their west this time. That said yes with model agreement this strong 98 times in 100 it will be right and this will recurve out to sea. But because of the other 2 times it is worth just watching until the recurve happens. |
Quoting MiamiHurricanes09: How about three. |
Quoting Tazmanian: LOL! Like every other storm that has turned out to be a fish, I will take my chances! |
move along little L |
Quoting Vero1: Ooh... Only question is if thats a tropical or extra-tropical cyclone. |
Quoting aquak9: Thats where the game is, Jax. |
' uh oh, weak though |
Quoting MiamiHurricanes09: Hey! No stealing Storm's word! Aye! |
Quoting bwt1982:Simple-- A Fish is not as exciting! |
Quoting earthlydragonfly: |
Quoting MrstormX: http://www.opc.ncep.noaa.gov/shtml/A_96hrbw.gif |
Quoting Hurricanes101:Aye! That makes two of us. |
Quoting blsealevel:I may be wrong but I thought that was from a different trough split forecast to happen between LA and the FL panhandle |
Quoting osuwxguynew:How confident are you ,on the trof, in picking TD6 up and recurving her before any land? Im just not "feeling" it. Ive seen too many credible posts against it. |
Quoting Vero1: Really a British Isle Hurricane, is that legit? Link? |
The forecast for Tropical Depression Six at the end of the forecast period remains very uncertain. |
I ask this question in the nicest way with no harm meant, but how come everytime there is a storm in the Atlantic that has all the models sending it out to sea and all the conditions for that to happen, everyone still "sees" something on there computer that tells them otherwise. I have been lurking on here for a long time and it is always the same thing? There is a storm out there that is going to be a "fish" but everyone still thinks it will still head west and miss the front coming off the east coast or the high pressure is stronger than they think? I have seen alot of people get flamed for the most simple of commnets that a paticular storm will be a fish but not the other way around? Why is this? |
Reading an earlier posting, I think Storm is right. The models are in too much agreement for this storm not to move north of the Lesser Antilles. The track may shift a little to the left over time as the center consolidates, but overall, the low-pressure troughs should steer it to the northeast over time. This disturbance reminds me of the wave that spawned Hurricane Isabel in 2003. Cyclogenesis occurred in the deep tropics off the African coast and despite forming at a low latitude, all the forecast models agreed that it would move northeast of the Leeward Islands. At the time, it was hard to believe that would have happened, but the models were right. On board the Hurricane Hunter Aircraft on one of the recon flights, I recalled the on-board meteorologist telling me that the models had better have it right or else the islands would have been in serious trouble. On Sept 13, flying into the eye, sustained winds topped 165 mph and sure in deed it was quite a hurricane. Good thing though, it moved well northeast of the islands. I am thinking of going on one of the recon flights with the Hurricane Hunters if this storm develops. It may be possible to give you guys a report from the recon flight. |
PM TWD Special Feature discussion: ...SPECIAL FEATURES... TROPICAL DEPRESSION SIX IS CENTERED NEAR 11.0N 32.1W AT 21/2100 UTC OR 500 NM WSW OF THE SOUTHERNMOST CAPE VERDE ISLANDS MOVING W-NW AT 08 KT. ESTIMATED MINIMUM CENTRAL PRESSURE IS 1008 MB. MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WIND SPEED IS 25 KT WITH GUSTS TO 35 KT. STRENGTHENING IS FORECAST OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS AS THE CYCLONE RESIDES ON THE SOUTHWESTERN PERIPHERY OF AN UPPER LEVEL ANTICYCLONIC CIRCULATION CENTERED NEAR 21N20W WITH AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE AXIS EXTENDING SW FROM THE CENTER TO 15N39W. THIS IS EXPECTED TO PROVIDE AN OVERALL FAVORABLE UPPER LEVEL DIFFLUENT ENVIRONMENT FOR THE SYSTEM TO MAINTAIN ORGANIZED CONVECTION AND PROVIDE FOR MINIMAL WIND SHEAR. SCATTERED MODERATE AND ISOLATED STRONG CONVECTION COVERS A BROAD AREA FROM 06N-16N BETWEEN 25W-41W. SEE LATEST NHC FORECAST/ADVISORY UNDER AWIPS/WMO HEADERS MIATCMAT1/WTNT21 KNHC FOR MORE DETAILS. |

Official Title: | Development and Validation of A Comprehensive Instrument to Determine Utilities for Health States Relevant to Cervical Gynecologic Cancer Patients |
- The development and validation of a comprehensive set of quality of life related utility scores for the treatment of cervical cancer. [ Time Frame: lifetime ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- To incorporate these utility scores into a previous decision model which will allow for outcomes, costs, and quality of life to be analyzed in the treatment of cervical cancer patients. [ Time Frame: lifetime ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Enrollment: | 60 |
Study Start Date: | September 2008 |
Study Completion Date: | June 2013 |
Primary Completion Date: | September 2009 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure) |
Groups/Cohorts | Assigned Interventions |
Healthy Volunteers
Women over the age of 18 without the diagnosis of cervical cancer.
Other: Discussion & scoring of health states related to the treatment of cervical cancer
Subjects will be interviewed using the visual analog score and time trade off methods.
Other Name: Ultities Scores
Cervical Cancer Patients
Women over the age of 18 with a history of cervical cancer treated with surgery or chemoradiation.
Other: Discussion & scoring of health states related to the treatment of cervical cancer
Subjects will be interviewed using the visual analog score and time trade off methods.
Other Name: Ultities Scores
Detailed Description:
Subjects will valuate cervical cancer-related health states using the visual analog score (VAS) and TTO (TTO) methods. The subject will be asked to read a pertinent health state description and listen while it is read aloud. She will first be asked to place the state on a continuum (VAS) from zero to 100, with 100 presenting perfect health and zero presenting death. The TTO interview will then be administered. The subject will be asked to assume a remaining life expectancy of 30 years, and to choose between 30 years in the health state described or 29 years in a state of perfect health. The utility of the health state, a number between zero and one, is calculated as the minimum number of years the patient would accept divided by 30. Each subject will be asked to review and valuate 20 health states over the course of 60-90 minutes.
Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years and older |
Genders Eligible for Study: | Female |
