One of the main reasons why I liked this book is due to the sense of truth and straightforwardness. The story is impressive and I was quite interested in how the Mumbai black market works as well as how the Australian ended up becoming a Mumbaikar and going to fight in an Afghanistan war. Also, how he escaped from prison was quite interesting but the details of his time in the Mumbai prison were very sordid. I also loved the way he explained the ethos of the slum people and the village.
Indian people may argue that he has exposed a lot of flaws in Indian life and that it is far from the calm and stable lives that most people say they have. But that is why this book is so interesting. It breaks away from the stereotypes that are popularised in Bollywood movies and tries to illustrate the well kept secrets of Mumbai.
Shantaram is not for the person who would like to read about a land of milk and honey. It is an eye opener for people who do not know the underhand workings of Mumbai.
After reading this book I cannot stop telling everyone about it. It's a semi-autobiography of Gregory David Roberts, an ex-heroin addict, who escapes from an Australian prison and finds himself in India. His journey is simply amazing, the writing style is fantastic! It is a gripping story and reading the descriptions of each moment whether it be happiness or pain, as a reader you get drawn into and made to feel the emotions, the details of the descriptions of each memory are so vivid, I was moved to tears many many times. The writing is so unique, there are plenty of theatrical moments and there are some beautiful quotes that will relate to each and every person that reads them, this book will inspire you to reflect on life. The individuals Roberts meets on the journey provide new perspectives, the character of prabu in particular is so admirable. I cannot wait for the movie to be made, as I know many people are just not 'book' people but they need to hear Roberts' story.
Shantaram has to be one of the best books I have ever read and I urge everyone to read it.
When I pick up a book which could double for a door stop, a sense of trepidation normally runs through my body. Is it going to be worth the hype? Will it fit in my bag? Why does any book need to be that big? I went through all these questions when I contemplated the purchase of Shantaram and thankfully for me I followed the hype. The book is definitely worth the hype. It takes you on a journey through the life of escaped convict 'Lin' as he makes his new life in the sprawling city of Bombay. Lin's adventures in India, which are based on the author's real life, take him from running a free clinic in a Bombay slum to his work for the Bombay Mafia as a forger and money launderer. Throughout this time he learnt Hindu and Marathi, got worked over in jail, fought with the Mujahedeen in Afghanistan and he even found time to get hooked on heroin for the second time in his life and kick the habit. Most of all this book is about relationships and love. Not only does Lin fall in love with the city so beautifully described by Roberts, his relationships with the 'father figure' Khaderbhai, the wide smiling Prabaker and the beautiful Karla give this novel its backbone and its true heart. Shantaram kept me on the edge of my seat from start to end, it had drama, it had feelings and it also had some rather interesting philosophical musings from the complex Khaderbhai. My final piece of advice to those still sceptical is to buy a bigger a bag because this is a book which you must read
I was lucky enough to be sitting in India on a beach in Goa when a little boy came up to me selling books, after having a look through all the books and being unable to find a suitable one an Australian chap I had been sunbathing with advised me that this was a great book.
I decided to buy the book and boy was he right, I have to say this is possibly the best book I have ever read and the fact that its a true story is even better.
Reading the book in India were the story was set made the journey of the read ever so much more appealing.
Shantaram is a novel influenced by real events in the life of the author, Australian Gregory David Roberts. In 1978, Roberts was sentenced to nineteen years' imprisonment in Australia after being convicted of a series of armed robberies which he had committed to feed a heroin addiction after his marriage ended and he lost his daughter. In July 1980, he escaped from Victoria's Pentridge Prison in broad daylight, thereby becoming one of Australia's most wanted men for the next ten years.
He arrives in Mumbai carrying a false passport. Mumbai was only a stopover on a journey that was to take Lin from New Zealand to Germany, but he decides to stay in the city and this is a stop over that was to redirect his life forever
The novel describes a number of foreigners of varied origin as well as local Indians, highlighting the rich diversity of life in Bombay. Mr Roberts becomes friends with many Indians and manages to make himself well known to the Indian Mafia and working for them.
Mr Roberts is eventually tracked down after many years and has to return to prison but this book describes the wonderful journey in between and is quite truly breathtaking.
The book is almost 1000 pages long but once you pick it up you will struggle to put it down.
'Shantaram' by Gregory David Roberts is a fictional book based on the experiences an armed robber and Heroin addict escaped from an Australian prison. After his incredible escape he fled to India, a country he instantly fell in love with, embraced the culture and learned Hindi and Marathi while living in a remote Indian village.
When he returned to Mumbai he began living in a slum and established a free health clinic before eventually getting involved in organised crime and then goes on to Afghanistan where he fought with the Mujahadeen. This book is part fiction but the majority of it is based on Gregory David Roberts real experiences which makes it all the more fascinating.
I haven't tried to tackle a book this large in quite a while but after taking it with me on a rather long train journey I read 250 pages before having to tear myself away from it and return back to reality! I enjoyed it so much I read it in two weeks and since then I've recommended it to everyone. This is a brilliant book, it really takes you on a journey. I found out that this is the first book of four that Gregory David Roberts plans to write, the next part of his amazing life story (The Mountain Shadow) comes out later this year.
A month after leaving India myself I took a moment to flick through the first few pages of a book so many people on my travels had spoken about. I ended up in the book shop for half an hour reading as much as I could. The accuracy in the description of Mumbai was so eloquently written it drew me in instantly. It resonated in my mind and brought me straight back to the time I spent there.
The story itself is a compelling one and 900 pages does not seem such a laborious job or an endless story. In brief the central character, Lin, is an escaped convict from an Australian prison, who manages to find his way to Mumbai. He meets a charming, frank Indian man, who starts to introduce Lin to the many highs and lows of Indian culture. The contrast in the stark reality of Mumbai and the whole hearted, naïve nature of Prabaker makes it easy to indulge this story from the beginning. The trials and tribulations of Lin's life; from living in the slums as a stand in doctor, to fighting a war in Afghanistan for a Mumbai crime lord keep the story flowing.
The Indian characters are endearing and convey how happiness can be found in the most desperate situations. The complexities of Indian culture are laid bare in the book, leading to an accurate and inspiring depiction. The lead character Lin has been met with mixed reactions among reviewers of this book. It is true at times that he does portray a man of honour and courage when a large chunk of his life is an involvement in crime. However, he is far from one dimensional; he is seeking redemption of which he knows will not come and his view on himself and others around him are transient throughout the story, so to take one view on him would be narrow minded.
If you are planning on going to India it is a book that you should defiantly purchase. If you are not fazed by long books that are at times heavy and have descriptive, philosophical prose then I would say that this is a quite brilliant read.
This is a must read for anyone, no matter what sort of novels you are into it has everything in it. The story is a semi-autobio of Gregory David Roberts, who is an ex-heroin addict, with this in mind it's impossible to not love his character, someone who is wise, loyal, selfless and just an all round nice guy with a dark past, and just trying to make a name for himself. However it is not the characters in the book that you will fall in love with (Lin, Prabu) but also the book's setting, India. Yes there is financial hardship in some of the slums, but the book demonstrates that each person out there always cares those around them. I wasn't really bothered about india before I read this book, but now it is one of my top 5 destinations that I want to visit. A book that I can read over and over again, and I can't wait for the film to come out, which is starring Johnny Depp. :-)
Shantaram - Gregory David Roberts
Gregory David Roberts was sentenced to 19 years in an Australian jail having been convicted of a series of armed robberies, carried out to feed his heroin addiction at the time. He escaped from prison, and travelled to India, becoming one of Australia's most wanted men. The book then follows him though his experiences (including setting up a health clinic In the slums of India, working as a forger and counterfeiter and a gun runner) and introduces us to a weird and wonderful array of people along the way.
It is an unusual story, in that it is fiction, though quite heavily influenced by real life events, which lend a believability to the book. It is also one of those rare pieces of work which make the characters come alive for the reader and the experiences seem almost their own.
Reading this book, I almost felt that I could smell the scents described, see the colours and hear the characters as they spoke. The book managed to strike almost every emotion, at some points I laughed out loud, in others I felt the poignancy and hurt as if the story affected me personally. The characters become like old friends and you cannot help but feel connected to their lives.
This book is 944 pages long and I can honestly say that I wished it were twice the size. I found it hard to put down and read it very quickly, then wished I hadn't because I wanted it to last as long as possible!
If you are looking for something exciting and poignant to read then look no further, Shantaram is sure to delight. There is talk of it being made into a film which would definitely be one to watch.
I think that this is the best book I have read all year, and cannot recommend it highly enough, it genuinely is a fantastic read!
Quite simply my favourite book! It is a big book, but within the first couple of chapters you will be hooked. Basically, the character, based on the author, escapes from an Australian prison and escapes to Bombay. From then on the events that take place are non-stop as Lin soon integrates into the chaotic Bombay life and makes lots of friends. He soon becomes a very popular guy around the City and the people that he meets leads him towards some interesting opportunites.
One of my favourite parts of the book is when he is living in the slums. I've often wondered what it would be like to live in those kind of conditions and this section of the book gives a real insight. The book is a mix of fiction and non-fiction, so you can't be 100% that the images that he depicts are correct but I'm sure it has a lot of similarities.
His contacts lead him to Bollywood, prison, the mafia and Afghanistan plus much more.
I recommend this book to as many people as possible and I cannot wait for the film to come out (2009 apparently).
The groundbreaking novel 'Shantaram' spans the world between fact and fiction seamlessly. Gregory David Roberts, an armed robber and Heroin addict escaped from an Australian prison. After adopting the name Lin he eventually fled to India, a country he fell in love with. Embracing the wonderful culture Robert's learned Hindi and Marathi, the majority of the latter was learned in a remote village. He returned to Mumbai and began living in a slum, establishing a free health clinic for the slum dwellers. The epic novel follows his entrancing life in India, detailing his involvement with the mafia as a money launderer, forger and street soldier before being thrown in an Indian prison. The novel follows him to Afghanistan where he fought with the Mujahadeen.
This gripping novel, which is substantial to hold, is a breeze to read. You won't want to put it down. The writing style is clever and descriptive enough t immerse you in a story where you quickly move from adventure to adventure, top of the world to heartache. This novel which Robert's wrote 3 times due to it being repeatedly destroyed in prison is worth the wait. Not only is it an education about India and its culture, it shows the unseen Bombay underworld and takes you on a roller coaster ride of literary brilliance.

Terrible light, lt has failed 3 times while still under warranty. I have more in shipping it back and forth than the light is worth. Stick with a good brand rather than trying to save two bucks.

Nice surprise!
January 3, 2015
Opened my most recent box from BJ and this Lumapower flashlight is just too nice. The function is flawless as is the fit and finish. The FREE diffuser is a BIG, BIG PLUS. It makes a nice lantern and is bright enough to light up a large room and see by walking in the dark. It softens the light into a perfect GLOW to see all around by. Given the quality of construction and initial feel this light will PERFORM and should so for some time to come. Nice compact size too.
Pros:Biggest is the diffuser that makes it a mini lantern fast. Slips right on and off .
Cons:Belt sheath a bit bulky or clumsy looking but functional.

I would recommend this item to a friend.
Great light !

I have many high end flashlights but this has moved to the front of the line. It comes with a nice holster, diffuser and with the size and multiple brightness levels this is a keeper.

Best EDC ever

Great light! Super reliable. Nice range tradeoffs between brightness and runtime. If button wasn\'t flush (it\'s no problem at all) it wouldn\'t tailstand.

Difficult Push Button
July 23, 2011
The light itself is great - very bright, very compact. The push button however is not raised much above the base of the flashlight, so it makes it difficult to engage. I have to stick my finger into it, instead of simply engaging the button with pad of my finger.

When times get tough, one of the first things we all think about is what we can do without. The same goes for companies--they must say no to some things to conserve resources and ensure that remaining resources are focused on the right things. But what specifically should companies say no to? Companies looking to shut down some innovation efforts have to evaluate two different portfolios: their portfolio of in-process innovation efforts and their portfolio of existing businesses. This chapter shows you how to prune these portfolios prudently to ensure that resources flow to the right innovation efforts and to identify existing businesses that can be safely shed. This chapter was originally published as chapter 2 of "The Silver Lining: An Innovation Playbook for Uncertain Times."
To describe how to prioritize the innovation portfolio and shift resources accordingly.

Lotina quits Espanyol after dramatic relegation escape
MADRID, May 14 (Reuters) - Espanyol coach Miguel Angel Lotina announced he will be giving up his post after his team staged a dramatic escape from relegation in their final league match of the season.
'I think it is better to leave now at a moment of celebration rather than delay things for too long,' Lotina told a news conference after his side's 1-0 win at home to Real Sociedad on Saturday.
Fellow strugglers Alaves looked as if they were the team that would avoid the drop after they took a 1-0 lead against Deportivo Coruna, but Espanyol midfielder Ferran Corominas scored a stoppage-time strike that kept the Catalans in the top flight and sent the Basque team into the second division.
Lotina took charge of Espanyol at the start of last season and steered the side to their best league placing in almost a decade when they finished fifth in the Primera Liga.
This season they won the King's Cup, crushing Real Zaragoza 4-1 in the final at the Bernabeu, but the team's future in the top flight was in doubt right up to the last minute.
'I think it has been a very satisfactory two years,' said Lotina. 'I don't say that just because we won the Cup, but also because we have played some good football.
'We have done a lot of good work with the youth sides and in a recent game eight home-grown players played for the first team. I can only praise Espanyol and I believe that the club has all the ingredients needed to triumph in the future.
'I'm now going to take a rest and I can tell you that I have not signed an agreement with any other club.'

SHERIFF Hutton Bridge held their nerve to beat Clifton Alliance in the final over of the match and maintain fading hopes of catching champions Woodhouse Grange at the top of the Hunters York & District Senior League premier division table.
Woodhouse Grange maintained their seemingly unstoppable progress towards a fourth successive league title when they defeated Stamford Bridge, while second-placed Easingwold walloped York II by 10 wickets after rolling over the Shipton Road side for only 93.
The Bridge therefore needed to win their match on Saturday to stay in touch and they did – just – as Mark Fisher provided the coup de grace in the last over to seal a 22-run victory for the hosts after the Alliance lost their final wicket off the second ball of the final over.
Eearly batting success for SHB had been logged by Paul Oldfield (30) and Rob Pinder (25) but the innings then fell away with only Paul Scaling making a mark with the bat, finding his form after a difficult spell to reach 47 and ensure the hosts got to their final over before being all out for 170. Alex Renton bowled a fine spell to claim 5-39 while David Friend had a good 3-49.
Clifton's reply included 36 by Andy Parkinson and 25 by Nick Hindle but a trio of Bridge bowlers each claimed three wickets to set up the victory.
The pick of these was Ben Harrison, who turned the game the Bridge's way with 3-31, and he was well supported by Jordan Grose with 3-34, before Fisher (3-44) dealt the winning blow Woodhouse Grange defeated Stamford Bridge by seven wickets thanks to two good innings by the Bilton brothers.
Kev Murphy had earlier posted 51, Dom Rhodes 26 and Luke Robinson as Stamford totalled 162-7 with Andrew Horner claiming 3-31. Grange's winning 166-3 included 58 by Andrew Bilton and an unbeaten 76 from Chris Bilton.
Pickering slipped to fourth place in division one after a 93-run home defeat by Bridlington.
Casey Rudd cracked 118 in Brid's huge total of 262-3, his second century of the season being well supported by John Major (74) and Simon Leeson (44).
For Pickering, Mark Shepherd made 34 and Tom Sigsworth 25 but Rudd was again well involved with 3-35 and, with Sam Edmondson taking 4-30, the hosts were ousted for 169.
Divisional leaders Heworth had little trouble in defeating bottom-placed Selby, while second-placed Sessay got the better of a draw with Goole Town and Acomb jumped over Pickering into third by beating Whitkirk.
The all-round ability of Harry Walmsley proved the difference between Folkton & Flixton and Driffield as his 3-27 and 45 runs enabled Flixton to win by two wickets.
Driffield's top batsman was Owen Goldsworthy, who made an unbeaten 69 in a total of 173-8. Walmsley's batting was then supported by S Stocks, who made 36 to help cancel out the bowling efforts of Johnson (5-46).
At the other end of the table, Malton & Old Malton suffered a big blow in the efforts to beat the drop as they fell by six runs at relegation rivals Bolton Percy.
They had looked on course for victory as Wayne Dawson (3-37) and O Gilbank (5-21) helped to dismiss Bolton for just 84.
However, the hosts then hit back with a vengeance as Andrew Brewster grabbed 5-17 and Jacob Green 3-27 and Malton found themselves dissolving to 78 all out. Shaun Harland made 42, which should have been good enough for victory, but it proved in vain as his team-mates crumbled.
THE York & District Senior League's winter indoor league will be holding its annual general meeting on Thursday, August 28, at Acomb Cricket Club. All member clubs are urged to attend and new clubs to the competition will be welcomed.
Park better off but no KO blow
DUNCOMBE Park came out ahead on points in the top-of-the-table clash in division two north of the Hunters York & District Senior League – but they were unable to deliver a real knockout blow to close in on leaders Osbaldwick.
Batsmen prevailed throughout with second-placed Park making 222-5 and their visitors responding with 206-5.
Alistair Holmes, inset, top-scored for Park with an unbeaten 63, while James Skelton made 51, Brian Leckenby 44 and Peter Kent 28.
In reply, there were fine innings from Jonny Rawstone (87no) and Matt Hattee (60), but Joe Sails' return of 3-30 kept the Helmsley side ahead, as they collected 25 points to Osbaldwick's 17 to reduce the gap at the summit to 41. The gap to third, meanwhile, is now 42 points as Tadcaster Magnet II lost to Ripon, to be leapfrogged by Harrogate II.
At the other end of the table, both Hovingham and Sheriff Hutton remained in bother.
At Hovingham, Dringhouses were limited to 134-8 but still recorded a 32-run win as Mick Kenyon took 5-9 and George Wilson 3-33 to dismiss the hosts for 102. Sheriff Hutton crashed by 106 runs to Pocklington, who eased their own worries. Sheriff are now only 12 points ahead of the bottom side. Neil Jackson made 98 in Pock's total of 174 as David Hull captured 3-48. Ted Donkin took 4-18 and Connaire Brattan 3-10 to dismiss Sheriff for 68.
Sheriff Hutton Bridge II lost ground in the promotion race in division three north as their game at Castleford II on Sunday was abandoned due to rain.
They had begun the weekend in second place but were leapfrogged on Saturday by Sessay II who beat Drax by six wickets. Leaders Easingwold II had a big win over York IV.
Malton & Old Malton II had to hold on to avoid defeat at home to Huby. Tom Piercy made 40 in the visitors' 176 as Ryan Wharton took 5-23. Malton's reply was inadequate, with only Tony Linsley (22) showing form as Hugh Sheddon (5-24) left them on 104-9.
In division three south, Stamford Bridge II were all out for 106 as they lost by 52 runs at Scarborough II, for whom Theo Smith grabbed 6-31. For Stamford, Andy Winfield took 4-36 and Rob Hewitt 3-36, while Mark Fairweather made 33 not out.
Pickering II stayed bottom after a 44-run loss at Yapham. Mark Fairey made 63 as Yapham totalled 143, Tony Evans taking 3-21 and Ady Boyes 3-14. Les Welburn replied with 36 but Alex Nattrass took 5-26 as Pickering were dismissed for 99.
Ford skittles Houses with stunning 9-10
MATTHEW FORD was in devastating form to hand Hovingham II a huge victory at Dringhouses in division four central of the Hunters York & District Senior League.
Alistair Thorpe made 61 for Hovingham and had good support from Richard Johns (35), John Hubery (25) and George Wainwright (25) in a total of 214-7.
Ford then produced the best bowling figures of the Senior League season when his 9-10 had Dringhouses all out for the season's lowest total of 21.
Sheriff Hutton II romped to a 10-wicket win at Cawood II after the hosts were all out for 56 - Mick Bradley taking 3-8. John Armitage (35no) led the reply.
There was also a good victory for Duncombe Park II over Osbaldwick II.
W Smith took 4-28 and A Walker 4-32 as Osbaldwick were all out for 147, of which A Richardson made 66. Park reached their target for the loss of six wickets as Nick Allenby made 59 and Jeremy Lascelles 46.

It's long been a controversial issue—testing on primates, specifically chimpanzees. But, last month, hundreds of chimps were released from the New Iberia Research Center and sent to live the rest of their lives in a sanctuary.
After years sometimes decades used as medical testing subjects, 110 chimpanzees are now leaving their cages behind for a more natural life. Home is now the Chimp Haven, a non-profit in Keithville, Louisiana. It took nearly $5 million in fundraising in order to secure enough indoor and outdoor space.
According to President and CEO of Chimp Haven, Cathy Willis Spraetz, it's been a long time coming.
"It's wonderful. It's like a dream come true," said Spraetz. "Although, there are many other chimpanzees out there that need a sanctuary to go to."
The move to a sanctuary is in accordance with the federal Chimp Act and pushed by the National Institute of Health. They've ruled chimp testing is not as effective as once thought and in many instances, could be considered inhumane given the primates' high level of intelligence.
"They are just not the best test subjects number one and number two, our technology has advanced to the point where they're no longer necessary," said Spraetz.
In 2005, Chimp Haven took in just two chimpanzees. Fast forward to this year, 212 are now living in a healthy, natural environment. "Our largest group is 25 who live together," said Spaetz.
"They hunt together, forage together, climb trees and sleep together. So, those are experiences they don't get in a laboratory setting."

But in those moments when I have stopped and taken the 15-20 minutes to do centering prayer, a feeling emerges in the core of my being. I feel neither here nor there... and a bit adrift.
Now this can be a sign of just how crazy busy I've been between church volunteer activities, and PFLAG and Faust. But I also think it's reflective of where we are in the retelling of our story as God's people. Last week.... and we were reminded on Sunday... Jesus, who had just come back from an absolute and bloody death, again tells the disciples, "I'll be seeing ya!" and ascends into Heaven just as Elijah disappeared in the Hebrew Scriptures. Two unnamed, unknown men appear and ask the disciples why they are looking up. One can imagine why they were; I mean, if I'd seen the guy upon whom I had pinned all my hopes just shoot up into the sky, I'd probably be staring at the clouds, too!
But that's not the task at hand. Searching the sky and saying, "Where'd he go?!" isn't the next move. The searching and the seeking for Jesus needs to be done among ourselves. That's what I think he was driving at when he was praying to God and saying,
He's been with us, died with us, and been resurrected in us: now we are to see him in the eyes of those we encounter.All mine are yours, and yours are mine; and I have been glorified in them. And now I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them in your name that you have given me, so that they may be one, as we are one.
I also think he's recognizing the transition he's going through. He will be entering into a state of being in-between the physical, tangible, temporal world and the world that is eternal and exists all around us... even if just beyond what we see and "know" to be true.
It's also a transition time for disciples and by extension us as we retell this story. We've been put in this weird place of waiting for the "Now what?" It is a place that anyone who has ever experienced a transition should be familiar with. When you are out of work, or when you've just completed school, you go into this odd state of wondering and questioning. Sometimes and for some people this is exhilirating, but for others it causes dread. For me, it feels like the familiar music of life has been put on pause and in its place I'm hearing just a single steady drone of one note held down on a keyboard.
The "Now what?" will get answered in the form of a mighty gush of wind that fills the upper room with tongues of fire and people babbling in the native tongues of all the nations imaginable at the time. That's how it happens in the story. How it happens in this real life? I think that depends on each of us. When the Spirit fills us and lights us internally on fire, where do we go with that?
For me, it can be seen in my determined doggedness to remain present and alive. My presence and life speak volumes for the rest of who I am and the labels that get attached so people can understand who I am.
Massage therapist.
All of those labels apply. But the real essence of my "who" is just the fact that I am. My I am is infused with I AM because that's what I believe with every intake of breath. And the breath, to me, is the symbol of the Spirit.

Shock Trial: Should We Emergently Revascularize Occluded Coronaries for Cardiogenic Shock.

Approximately 7.5 percent of all acute myocardial infarctions which are diagnosed in an emergency room or in-hospital lead to cardiogenic shock and an in-hospital death rate of 70 to 80 percent, usually within one to two days of diagnosis of cardiogenic shock. The high death rate has not changed in the last two decades. Non-random clinical series and animal studies suggest that rapid revascularization following cardiogenic shock complicating acute myocardial infarction may substantially improve survival. However, the apparent benefit reported in the non-random clinic studies could have resulted partly from a selection bias towards patients with a better prognosis.
Randomized, multicenter, Phase III, controlled clinical trial. Patients with shock due to left ventricular failure complicating myocardial infarction were randomly assigned to emergency revascularization or initial medical stabilization. Revascularization was accomplished by either coronary-artery bypass grafting or angioplasty. A total of 152 patients were randomized to early revascularization and 150 patients to conventional therapy consisting of thrombolytics and a possible late attempt at revascularization. Intraaortic balloon counterpulsation was performed in 86 percent of the patients in both groups. The primary endpoint was mortality from all causes at 30 days. Secondary endpoints included all-cause mortality at six months and assessment of the quality of life in survivors after discharge.
All patients with a clinically suspected diagnosis of cardiogenic shock complicating myocardial infarction formed a registry, with limited information collected on in-hospital procedures, medications, length of stay and vital status at discharge.
The study has been extended through June, 2005 for patient follow-up and data analyses. Long-term survival rates (6 to 11 years post-MI) will be estimated and the quality of life of survivors of acute MI complicated by cardiogenic shock will be studied. Extended trial data analyses will be conducted: a) To determine the early echocardiographic parameters which are associated with one year survival in cardiogenic shock patients, and to assess the interaction of these parameters with early revascularization; b) To examine differences in disease course and patient outcome as a function of age, gender, national practice, and changes in serial hemodynamic measurements, as well as to better characterize the related conditions and complications of cardiogenic shock.

MEMPHIS — Brittney Griner has grown up a lot this season. Just ask Tennessee. The 6-foot-8 freshman had 27 points, 10 blocks and seven rebounds, leading Baylor to a 77-62 win Saturday in a semifinal of the Memphis Region.
"She was the X factor," Tennessee coach Pat Summitt said.
The only other region final for the Bears (26-9) came in 2005, when they won it all. The Vols, who lost in the first round last season, have failed to reach the Final Four in consecutive seasons for the first time since 1993-94.
Tennessee (32-3) limited Griner to 15 points, four rebounds and four blocks in a 74-65 win Nov. 15. But it couldn't do it again despite putting as many as four players on her at a time. Griner hit several shots while double-teamed or passed for an easy layup.
"You're watching a phenom out here play above the rim," Baylor coach Kim Mulkey said.
Griner had been tentative on offense since she was suspended for two games for punching an opponent earlier this month.
"I just knew I had to … go back to the old Brittney," she said.
Kelley Cain's jumper put Tennessee up 55-50 with 7:53 left. But Griner made consecutive layups and added a three-point play as part of a 21-1 run.
"I'm just really excited that to get to the Elite Eight, we had to go through the best," Morghan Medlock said. "And the best in this region was Tennessee."
Guard lifts Blue Devils
MEMPHIS — Jasmine Thomas tied a career high with 29 points as Duke ended San Diego State's surprising run with a 66-58 win in the Memphis Region semifinals.
The 5-foot-9 junior guard also had five rebounds, six assists and five steals.
"She's a load," said coach Beth Burns, whose 11th-seeded Aztecs (23-11) failed to become the first double-digit seed to reach the region final since the tournament expanded to 64 teams in 1994.
"She's complete. Her vision, her ball skills, her defensive ability. She's good. She's real good."
Duke (30-5) led 35-34 at halftime then scored the first 10 of the second half.
"I just read what the defense was giving me," said Thomas, who was 10-of-19 from the field. "Joy (Cheek) set a few more screens, and they played back off me. So I took the shot that was open."
Stanford routs Georgia
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — All-American Jayne Appel had 17 points and five rebounds in just 24 minutes while playing on a tender right ankle to lead Stanford past Georgia 73-36 in a Sacramento Region semifinal.
"Our guards did well getting us the ball and dishing down low," Appel said. "They gave us point-blank shots, and it was our job to put them in."
The Cardinal (34-1) led 37-15 at halftime and held Georgia (25-9) to 12-for-59 shooting overall (4-of-22 on 3-pointers).

Thanks, that's the kind of insight I was looking for. Hmm. A key distinction between (a -> m b) and m (a -> b) is that in the latter, the monadic component can't depend on the value given to the function. One of the particular cases I had in mind was an (a -> IO b) that reads indexed values from a mutable data structure. It would be possible to convert this to IO (a -> b) if you knew ahead of time what reads you needed to do, without inspecting the "index" argument. Of course, you'd be unable to use the index to restrict the amount of reading necessary, which could be a problem for large structures. If you end up reading most of the values anyway, it might still be worth it. > In the Reader monad you can even convert > (a -> m b) to m (a -> b) Quite. In the ((->) r) monad, that's a conversion from (a -> r -> b) to (r -> a -> b), which is just "flip". I shall have to think about what properties are needed for a conversion from (a -> m b) to m (a -> b), and what other structures have those properties. Actually, all this talk of m (a -> b) reminds me of applicative functors, especially since you mentioned "fmap" (for vanilla functors) above. More food for thought ... Stuart

Do you have cheat days?
I have been REALLY good for 2 weeks, no soda AT ALL, and it's my biggest weakness. I have also met my calories everyday, carbs, proteins and fat. Today SS is having a sleepover and they opted to have pizza for dinner. Against my better judgement I had a few slices, and because you can't pizza without soda, I had a glass too. I am only over my calorie limit by 100 or so. But I feel very satisfied. I might allow myself a cheat day once or twice a month, that way I don't feel so deprived.
i don't cheat- ever. i just don't feel the need for it anymore. it's been over 1yr since i cut out all the junk!
visit me at my blog: vodka and soda | www.lifeinprogress.ca
Quoting KawaiiLila:
Don't deprive yourself! Just plan for it! Either budget you calories or do an extra 20 mins on a stationary bike the day you want to have junk or something. (20 min at 13 mph is about 260 calories)
Wow, I can't wait to be that disciplined.
Quoting itsm3:
i don't cheat- ever. i just don't feel the need for it anymore. it's been over 1yr since i cut out all the junk!
This is my plan. Hopefully soon I won't have the need for a cheat day.
Quoting EricaG87:
I have a cheat day once every two weeks.
I think you did really good and still got to enjoy something you have always liked. I give you credit for not going overboard like I have a tendency to do with things like that. Good job!
I don't plan cheat days, but they happen.

Wilfried Zaha among Arsenal's January transfer targets, Wenger confirms
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has confirmed his interest in Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha ahead of the opening of the January transfer window.
England international Zaha is widely considered to be one of the hottest talents outside the top flight in England, and has been linked with moves to Manchester City, Manchester United and Chelsea in recent weeks.
However, it's Arsenal who have long been rumoured to be the front-runners for the 20-year-old, who is all but certain to leave Palace in the new year.
Indeed, Gunners boss Wenger has had his scouts keep a close eye on Zaha all season, with the Ivory Coast-born starlet being seriously considered as a replacement for contract rebel Theo Walcott .
Walcott has less than a year left on his current deal at the Emirates and has so far failed to agree terms on an extension, with Arsenal said to be refusing to meet his £100,000-a-week wage demands.
If a compromise can't be found by January then Arsenal are willing to cash in on Walcott and buy a replacement, with Wenger confirming ahead of the club's fixture with Everton that Zaha is on his list of targets.
'He's not more on the list than anybody else,' a coy Wenger added.
Zaha is likely to cost in excess of £10million, but Palace would be open to accepting a lower figure if the player would be allowed to see out the remainder of the season at Selhurst Park.

"How I BEAT Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, eliminating all of the terrible symptoms FOR GOOD and have now been living a life full of energy and way better health for over a decade and counting"
Since you're here, you've probably heard my story about how I BEAT Chronic Fatigue Syndrome FOR GOOD, how I have been symptom free now for over 10 years (and counting) and how I now live with more energy, stamina, fitness, health and vitality than I ever knew before.
My name is Adrian, and I know first hand what life is like when you have chronic fatigue. I was a fit, healthy and active young guy living life to the fullest when in late 2000 I started to experience significant symptoms that zapped all of my energy, robbed me of my vibrant young life and led to the diagnosis of chronic fatigue syndrome.
For months after this diagnosis, I was following all of the recommendations of my doctor and specialist, hoping that I would be cured but all that happened was the following:
This was a very frustrating and demoralizing time of my life. I was hugely disappointed that I wasn't getting any answers from my doctor and specialist and it didn't take long before I realised that if I wanted to get better, I would have to find my own answers. I remember the day clearly when I decided to take action to win my life back.
Now I should also say that I am a health professional too (a physiotherapist in Australia), which really helped. Using my knowledge of the body and disease mechanisms plus the research and problem solving skills that my degree taught me I embarked on a journey of research in which I read everything I could about recovering from disease, studied medical journals and scientific studies and applied things into my life. This was tough going. I was very run down and tired. Some days, the effort would set me back and I would stay in bed being unable to function for the next day or two or more. But I slowly persisted.
In time, I discovered 11 key strategies that, once I implemented them, I quickly began to notice improvements in my life and very soon after I was able to say that I had beaten chronic fatigue. But the best bit is that it is still gone, over a decade later!
Since that time, I have gotten tons of questions from people about how I did it and that gave me the idea to put together this site. This way I can help people from all over the world who struggle with chronic fatigue and share with them the discoveries that I made.
On the next page are the details of absolutely everything I did – the 11 strategies that took me from struggling with chronic fatigue, to now being fully symptom free, energetic, fit and healthy for over a decade. My wish for you is that you'll take these 11 proven strategies and use them in your journey to beat chronic fatigue.
When you fill out your details in the boxes below, you'll be taken straight to the page with all the information you need to get started in your recovery from chronic fatigue. Its all there, FREE for you.
To your energetic and fatigue free life
Warmest regards
Adrian Magalas

Coach K return isn't ruled out
Mike Krzyzewski said London was going to be the last time. Well, maybe not. There's still a chance Krzyzewski will return for a third stint as U.S. Olympic men's basketball coach, according to multiple reports that surfaced Thursday. Krzyzewski said he was through with the job after leading the Americans to a second straight gold medal in London.Yet the Americans haven't hired another coach, even after USA Basketball chairman Jerry Colangelo said in London his plan was to have a successor in place around the new year. Perhaps he won't need to make a new hire. The 65-year-old Krzyzewski has long been committed to USA Basketball, having been on the staff of 12 U.S. teams since 1979. He said last year he thought this was "the last time," though he said he would remain close to Colangelo and the program even if he no longer was the coach. USA Basketball said there is no timetable for a new hire, though ESPN.com reported that the deadline had now been pushed back to after Duke's season ends to allow Krzyzewski more time to decide. LAKERS: Center Dwight Howard started against the Celtics on Thursday night after missing the previous three games with a sore shoulder. Howard aggravated a torn labrum in his right shoulder during a loss to the Suns at the start of their current seven-game road trip. The Lakers were without forward Pau Gasol, who returned to Los Angeles after an MRI on Wednesday in Boston revealed a torn plantar fascia in his right foot. He is expected to miss at least six weeks.

From the latest chapter of the Assassin's Creed video game set in 1191 AD when the Third Crusade was tearing the Holy Land apart, comes the pirate hidden blade gauntlet! This life-size, role-playing accessory lets fans wear the signature weapon of the heroic assassin, Edward Kenway.
The Hidden Blade and Gauntlet features a spring-loaded, retractable plastic blade, with a switchblade-style play action, just as seen in the Assassin's Creed video game series. The intricately sculpted Blade section attaches to the bottom of the forearm with adjustable straps and the highly detailed simulated leather Gauntlet attaches to the top of the forearm with the strap and buckle. The life-size role- playing Blade and Gauntlet is 16.5 inches fully extended.
The bonus Skull Buckle is an exact replica of the one worn by pirate-turned- assassin Edward Kenway in the game. The Skull Buckle can be worn in a variety of creative ways – on shirts, hats, backpacks, messenger bags, and belts - by clipping it onto an item.

Though the land that is now Florida changed hands a number of times, sometimes being under the control of Great Britain, sometimes Spain, it became part of the United States officially in 1845. Most vital records weren't recorded until after that time.
The office of Vital Records has Florida birth records dating back from 1917 and a mix of incomplete records between 1865 and 1917. Birth records for these earlier years are most complete in the counties of Pensacola, Ocala, Orange County, Key West, Tampa and St. Augustine. If you are looking in these regions, you will have the most luck for old records.
The privacy laws for the state keep the birth records from becoming public for 100 years, so you will have the best luck working back from then. Newer Florida birth records will only be issued to immediate relatives, and then only when the person on the record is deceased (proof will be required). So if you are trying to research anyone who was born within 100 years, you will have difficulty if they are still alive. You will also need to be over the age of 18 to make any requests.
Records from after 1917 are provided on embossed paper with the state seal, but those earlier records are simply photocopies.
You can place your request either in person or by mail. Either way, you will be contacting the main office in Jacksonville. Their mailing address is: Bureau of Vital Statistics, Customer Services, PO Box 210, Jacksonville FL, 32231-0042 USA. If you are going in person, the street address is 1217 Pearl Street.
The Department of Health has the proper form on their website (http://www.doh.state.fl.us/planning_eval/vital_statistics/DH_726_12-10.pdf) so you can download it and fill it out before you approach the office. The current fees are listed on the form, and it is currently $9 USD for a standard record or $14 for a certified one. If they are unable to find the Florida birth record that you are looking for, you'll get a "no record found" statement rather than a refund. They do accept personal checks or money orders, made out to Vital Statistics.
When you put your application together, you'll have to provide your own personal identification as well as a death certificate copy if you are eligible to be requesting a birth record newer than 100 years old. As for information, you'll need to identify the record you want by the person's name, birth date, place of birth and parent's names.
Assuming your application is acceptable, you should get a response within a week if you have mailed in your forms.
Information included in a Florida birth record will depend on the time it was issued. Modern records (2004 to the present) will provide you with name, birth date, sex, birth weight, place of birth and details on the parents. Older records are more brief and have name, date of birth, sex, and parent's names. Place of birth is usually only listed by the county, not town or city.
To request a copy of your Florida birth certificate or your child's record, you will need to:
Step 1.
Fill out the Florida Birth Certificate form with the parents' and child's information.
Step 2.
Select the type of birth record that you need. In most cases, the computer certification is sufficient to determine identity.
Step 3.
Return the application along with the appropriate fee to the Bureau of Vital Statistics. A copy of your photo ID should also be included. Mail orders can be paid for with check or money order, but phone and fax orders need to be paid by credit card. Walk in orders can be paid for with cash, check, money order, or credit card.
For additional information regarding accessing Florida birth records, you can contact the Bureau below:
Florida Department of Health
Bureau of Vital Statistics
Attn: Customer Services
P.O. Box 210
Jacksonville, FL 32231-0042
(904) 359-6900 ext. 9000
How To Gain Access to Florida Birth Records
Since the 1980s, Florida birth records have been available through computer certification. These records are accepted by the Social Security Administration, Passport Office, school districts, and other entities as a form of identification.
How to Order Computer Certified Birth Records
Florida birth records can be ordered by phone or fax, by mail, and in person at the Bureau of Vital Statistics.
Restrictions Governing Access to Birth Records
In order to access Florida birth records, certain criteria must be met. You must be the child listed on the birth certificate and at least 18 years of age or be the parent, guardian, or legal representative of the child. All others trying to access Florida birth records will need a court order.

Nadine Coyle video 'too raunchy' for TV
Nadine Coyle has been forced to reshoot the video for her debut single Insatiable because it has been branded 'too sexy' for TV.
The Girls Aloud star posted a message on Twitter claiming the promo will be re-editing in a bid to prevent it from being banned from screens.
"Apparently it has failed a test for tv. We have to go back and re edit or you can't see it! Xx nooooo!!!" Nadine tweeted.
Coyle appears in a short, see-through mini-dress and was sprayed with water during the shoot.
Her spokesperson confirmed to heatworld that the video was 'a little too sexy for television'.
Nadine faces stiff competition from bandmate Cheryl Cole who is releasing her single Promise This a week before Insatiable comes out on November 1.
Cole has also released a sexy video for the track where she wears a plunging red dress.
Speaking about the video for Insatiable on Twitter, Nadine raved: 'It was so much fun making the video.'
'Even though I was sprayed with water and had a bad neck afterwards after all the hair flicking and rocking out I did!'

this would be fucking epic, i would love to see a fellow Scot's man world champ!!!

It may be too late for Drew to recover his former glory. Like Triple H back in '97 Vince soured on Trips & tried to do the same crap thats being done with Drew, but Triple H being a natural fighter(unlike Drew), he didn't just bend over & take it up the behind. If Drew truely wants a future in WWE & wants to be the chosen one again he's only got to do one thing......Stand up to Vince!
Agree that orton needs to turn heel but can't see the shield teaming with the viper ... He has been out the title seen for a whio now also the shield need some gold soon but this has been wwe's best long project in years
If anything I'd like Rock to wrestle Cena one final time in a 3rd match and go over clean or simply destroy him. Somebody really needs to do Superman over to the point he's literally dead in the ring. Has there ever been a more teeth grindingly cringe worthy childish babyish loser in wrestling more than John Cena?
I doubt it.
Orton induces coma's he's so dull. Really just zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
He's definately mid card material now and if Rock ever decides to come back for one last match you can bet your bottom dollar Vince will beg him to to help sell WM30, he won't wrestle Orton.
Just the thought of Rock putting him over too is laughable.
Not bad but the shield needs to be left alone. No leader. No new members. Theyre perfect.
@cult: im sure rock and orton would face off if there was money to be made. I dont see personal differences stopping that. Plus theyve already gone at it at a previous mania. Oh and rock & cena cant stand each other but they still worked together. Money sways all my friend

13. I'm a realist
Of course I know this happens. It also creates "unfairness" in a multitude of situations. Ultimately, unless we begin to question our behaviors (as I originally suggested) it will continue to happen and propagate unfairness.
While yes, it may have definitely influenced votes for Obama, it is also definitely a juvenile and silly behavior that we as a species should attempt to quash and destroy (rather than endorse or make light of as this thread may well do). On the list of behaviors we need to eradicate, its priority is probably questionable compared to our incessant need to have politicians in the first place
In any case, I don't think fawning over those already on the top of the social and political hierarchy is constructive in any way, shape or form for the human condition.

16. Actually, I don't think he's attactive in that way, but his heart shines through.
The picture in the OP expresses many things to me and none of them are sexual. Among them are gratitude, exhaustion after a job well done, and comraderie. That makes a good marriage and a good life. That's my opinion.
I don't think that those of us who admire Obama see him as an rock star or idol, but a genuine, enlightened human being who has shown us that being open-minded, persevering the face of opposition and calumny thrown in one's face, and hard work can result in something worth one's time. And time is all we have in this life, we should use it well, and that is his legacy.
He has earned my respect for his intellect, calmness under fire, lack of false ego and willingness to learn. I do not ascribe to the caricatures of him as being profane or gloating. I understand it makes people feel stronger in the face of the heartbreak of being abused for being who they are, and seeing the one man who has taken a lot of that abuse on his broad shoulders to protect them. Despite the mockery, he has not rebuked those who reviled him directly and many of his supporters who feel he speaks for him and are being abused, want to fight back.
All I can say is that he is the best POTUS in my lifetime. He is a man for this time, a time of gteat change and serious danger to many and he is there. He is no savior and no messiah, he never presented himself that way. His detractors have always claimed that his supporters are stupid and shallow. Their disappointment or disdain is a sign of their unwillingness to listen.
He never promised the land of milk and honey, and said that the destiny of this country is up to us and not him. In other words, he respects our right to make our country what we will. He may not want what all Americans want, but knows he is just the facilitator or the messenger.
Those hating him who claim to be Democrats, don't respect the Democratic Party any longer, tney really have moved to something else. They hate compromise as much as baggers, want him to rule as a dictator. He's not going to do that, it would be against what he enunciated clearly to be his mission - to represent all of us.
Those conservatives who hated him from the beginning made up many lies about him and will not stop doing so; but they were right about him in the most substantive of ways. He is the end of what they thought they deserved. They didn't deserve to destroy this country for their own gain. This is by no means over with.
nolabear, Hope your hubby doesn't see you posting this, he might be jealous.
Love you. Don't let the downers get to you, your advice to me has been some of the best I've ever had for being here at DU. Thanks for another OP to lighten the mood.

And I'm totally in my Zen, so no worries. As I said upthread, the sexy factor is lagniappe, not the cause. But it don't hurt.
I love a man who seems to love people, and life, and to have a sense of humor about the whole catastrophe, even as he gives his all to be good to people in both large and small. I know I'm not an idiot so those who want to grump, grump on!

20. I like the concept of lagniappe, too. A sign of gratitude in the give and take of life.
I think we have seen an outpouring of:
# Blame Other People
To be truly miserable, you mustnt take responsibility for any of your problems. Blame your parents. Blame society. Blame the government. Blame your boss. Blame your big sister. To be honest, it doesnt really matter who you blame.
Just so long as youre clear that you arent to blame at all meaning you couldnt possibly have any power to change the situation.
Of course, to make sure that everyone else is just as miserable as you, be vocal, and tell people that its all their fault that your life is so screwed up.
On the other hand, one might take this advice that I was given here:
...Misery is easy to create. It's the tool of the maliciously lazy. Happiness takes work, it is the reward for a life being well lived... Make the choice to not let others steal your hard earned joy... Take the negative energy they fill you with and create something beautiful.
A little Obama-bashing worked through by our friend Stephen Colbert:
And now we're up, up and away!

In fact, one Division I coach even compared Bregman, a sophomore at LSU and former Albuquerque Academy star, to Major League Baseball's career hits leader Pete Rose. And while Bregman may indeed be Charlie Hustle 2.0, you can bet that he has unfinished business at LSU this season.
"I can't wait to get started," Bregman said. "It's going to be a blast this year. Hopefully we can win a national championship. That's the only goal."
The Tigers, ranked No. 2 in the USA Today preseason coaches poll, opened their season Friday night with a 2-0 win over New Orleans, with Bregman going 2-for-3 with an RBI single. On Saturday, he went 3-for-5 and scored in a 7-4 victory.
But Bregman didn't exactly pick up right where he left off.
To end 2013, Bregman went 0-for-8 and LSU lost both of its games at the College World Series in Omaha.
In the Tigers' CWS opener, Bregman committed a costly error in the eighth inning that allowed eventual national champ UCLA to score the go-ahead run.
"It sucked that we didn't win a national championship so I wasn't very pleased," Bregman said. "We had a good opportunity to do it but we just couldn't come away with it."
That error, however, has provided Bregman with some extra motivation. He has a newspaper photo clipping of his miscue hanging in his locker.
"It just reminds me to take every ground ball with purpose and not to take a pitch off," Bregman said. "It drives me to get better, and I think I've gotten a lot better since then."
Although his freshman year ended with a dud, the fact that Bregman says he's improved should make the rest of college baseball quake in its cleats.
He was second in the country with 104 hits and second on LSU in batting average (.369) and RBIs (52) in 2013. The 6-foot shortstop led the team with 59 runs scored, 18 doubles, seven triples and 16 stolen bases. He also hit six home runs.
After the season Bregman won a slew of awards, including national freshman of the year, national shortstop of the year and was named first-team All-American.
But even that wasn't up to the lofty standards Bregman has set for himself.
"I was surprised I didn't do better," Bregman said. "I thought I should have had a better year. I have a lot to improve on and I'm going to continue to try and get better and figure out ways to help my teammates. We want to win games and to be the best."
LSU head coach Paul Mainieri was obviously pleased with the ascension of his freshman and believes that Bregman's outstanding 2013 was just the beginning of a long, fruitful career.
"I think he's going to be the very best college baseball player in the country during his tenure here," Mainieri said. "I think he's going to be a first-round draft choice after his junior year and I think he's going to go play in the major leagues for a long time. I wouldn't be surprised if he makes a few All-Star teams either. That's really what I believe he's capable of and what I believe he will achieve."
After his 2013 season ended in Omaha on June 18, Bregman joined the U.S. collegiate national team on its summer tour a week later and achieved even more.
Bregman missed the first five games after joining the team late following the College World Series but still led Team USA with 26 hits and 35 total bases, tied for the lead with seven doubles, was third with 12 RBIs and fourth with 16 runs scored.
"It was a blast. I played with the best college players in America," Bregman said. "We got to play against Japan and Cuba, and it's always a cool experience to play against international teams. We had some success against Cuba. We swept their World Baseball Classic team, which was the highlight of the summer."
Bregman also managed to make quite an impression of Team USA head coach Jim Schlossnagle.
"He's the Pete Rose of college baseball," said Schlossnagle, the head coach at TCU. "He's certainly very talented but his mentality and his confidence are what separates him. He's the kind of guy you want to build your team around."
Which is exactly what Mainieri is doing.
"I've coached for 32 years and you don't run into Alex Bregmans very often," Mainieri said. "This kid has all the talent but he has so much more than that. He's mentally tough, he's a hard worker. He has every reason to be a prima donna and he's the furthest thing there is from a prima donna.
"He cares deeply about his team, he wants to win, he doesn't rest on his past laurels, he's coachable. He has every quality you look for in a young man. It's really been an absolute gift for me to have the opportunity to coach this kid."
Mainieri will have that chance for at least two more seasons until Bregman is eligible for the MLB draft.
And while Bregman said he isn't thinking about his professional future at the moment, Mainieri is already pondering the idea of not having him around Baton Rouge.
"I very much expect that he's going to sign professionally after his junior year," Mainieri said. "When he goes into professional baseball I'm going to be very proud of him but I'm also going to cry like a baby because I won't get the opportunity to coach him anymore. He's just been a total joy."

While Ryan's campaign staff kept a tight lid on details, they said he likely will draw from his remarks at campaign appearances since he was named Mitt Romney's running mate a little over two weeks ago.
In his 15-minute stump speech, Ryan frames the election as a choice between what he calls President Obama's European-like fiscal policies and Romney's embrace of free market principles. The remarks are usually light on policy specifics, and they have also have been highly personal as the campaign strives for a more human touch.
Ryan, a GOP House member who chairs the influential Budget Committee, casts himself as an average Joe, describing the challenges his family faced when his father died suddenly when Ryan was 16. He talks about growing up in Janesville, a town descended from Irish immigrants like his great-great-grandfather who fled the potato famine in 1800s. Nearly 70 of his cousins still live in the area, and Ryan likes to recall flipping hamburgers at a local McDonald's restaurant when he was young.
He introduced some of those themes during a send-off rally in Janesville on Monday, describing the community's close-knit ways and its self-sufficiency. The message would allow him, in a convention setting, to promote his vision of a smaller government.

"What we do in our communities is we look out for one another, that's what's so special, that's what government can't replace or displace," he said, ticking off a list of local food banks and charities. He has also poked fun at President Obama's remarks in 2008 about people in small-town America clinging to "guns or religion." Ryan quips, "This Catholic deer-hunter is guilty as charged, and proud of that!"
Since he was chosen as Romney's running mate on Aug. 11, Ryan has been planning for the estimated 30-minute address with speechwriters John McConnell and Matthew Scully, who traveled with him on the campaign to observe his speaking style. Ryan also gets input from longtime aides Andy Speth and Joyce Meyer, and spent the flight to Tampa making final edits with senior adviser Dan Senor and aide Conor Sweeney.
He has had one formal practice session, a two-hour affair over Jimmy John's sandwiches in a banquet room of the Holiday Inn Express in Janesville on Monday. Ryan stood behind a podium and used a teleprompter to approximate the setting for his appearance Wednesday night, as about 10 members of his staff watched.
Aside from his speech, Ryan's days in Tampa remain wide open with no public events. As he boarded the plane to Tampa with members of his family, the casually dressed congressman seemed excited as he thanked the chartered plane's crew members. When reporters asked whether he's ready for the convention, he answered with an enthusiastic, "I am!"

Along with Organization growth and databases growth we need more specific permissions for DBAs, operations and development teams.
Starting SQL Server 2005 we can grant server permissions on a more granular level, for example "view server state" and "alter trace".
In SQL Server 2005 and 2008 we are able to grant a new server level permission to specific logins in SQL Server.
Along with the growth of members in each team, the maintenance at SQL Server level became more complicated.
In SQL Server 2012 we got a new option to create "User-Defined Server Roles" and assign relevant logins to the newly created role.
I find it very useful, as a lot of my customers have operations teams that need to view and terminate sessions in case of blocking and use profiler for analysis of production issues.
Now we can create server role for this purposes.
Here short example of T-SQL code:
-- creation of User-Defined Server Roles
create server role UDSR_Operations_Team
-- assigning newly created role to existing fixed role
alter server role processadmin add member UDSR_Operations_Team
-- granting permissions to User-Defined Server Roles
grant view server state to UDSR_Operations_Team
grant alter trace to UDSR_Operations_Team
-- assigning SQL login to User-Defined Server Roles
alter server role UDSR_Operations_Team add member test_login
I recommend you try out User-Defined Server Roles and see if it can help you in your day-to-day administration work.
