This summer marked the final official report of the panel of experts assigned to oversee reform of Washington State’s foster care system. In June 2013, the Braam Oversight Panel released its fourth and final monitoring report based on the Revised Braam Settlement and Exit Agreement, a revised version of a settlement agreement reached in 2004 between the State and foster children. The report details the performance of Washington State’s Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS) on 21 outcomes in the reporting period from July 1, 2012 to December 31, 2012. The outcomes measure the experiences of children in foster care; for example, one outcome looks at how many children are forced to change schools because of a change in foster care placement. They also look at how DSHS fulfills its obligations, such as how often caseworkers visit foster children, and how well foster parents are trained. Of the 21 outcomes, DSHS had achieved full compliance for five outcomes before this reporting period. DSHS achieved full compliance for seven outcomes during this reporting period, and failed to achieve full compliance for another seven outcomes. Two outcomes were not reported in the final Braam Oversight Panel report because the data, which is reviewed annually, was not due for this report.
To achieve full compliance for a particular outcome, DSHS had to show that its statewide performance met the standard set by the Braam Oversight Panel and that each region performed no lower than 10 percentage points behind the state as a whole. This protected foster children in all regions of the state by ensuring that the state could not reach full compliance if one region was performing particularly poorly, even if the state average met the standard. For five of the 21 outcomes in the Report, DSHS achieved full compliance for 18 consecutive months prior to the reporting period, so those outcomes were not monitored. Data was not due for two outcomes listed in the Final Report, so those were not reported. Of the remaining 14 outcomes, DSHS achieved full compliance for seven, and failed to achieve full compliance for another seven.
Outcome 3 Children in out-of-home care for 45 days or longer will have completed and documented Child Health and Education Track (CHET) screens within 30 days of entering foster care.
Outcome 6 The percentage of children who experience two or fewer placements during their current out-of-home episode of care will not decline. This outcome measure is based on the percentage of youth entering care during the two previous fiscal years with two or fewer placements (with time-in-care specifications based on entry year).
Outcome 12 The Department will maintain an adequate ratio of licensed foster care beds to children in licensed foster homes.
Outcome 13 The percentage of children who are not victims of a founded report of child abuse or neglect by a foster parent or facility staff member will meet or exceed the federal Child and Family Services Review (round 2) standard.
Outcome 4 Children in out-of-home care will be screened for mental health and substance abuse needs every 12 months.
Outcome 5 All referrals alleging child abuse and neglect of children in out-of-home care will receive thorough investigation by the Division of Licensing Resources (DLR) pursuant to CA [Children’s Administration] policy and timeline and with required documentation.
Outcome 7 Children in out-of-home care will be placed with their siblings who are also in out-of-home care whenever possible.
Outcome 15 Caseworkers will take the required steps to meet the educational needs of children in out-of-home care.
Outcome 16 Children identified as sexually aggressive (SAY) pursuant to the statutory definition will be placed with caregivers who have received specialized training and have a plan developed to address safety and supervision issues.
Outcome 17 Children identified as physically assaultive or aggressive (PAAY) pursuant to the statutory definition will be placed with caregivers who have received specialized training and have a plan developed to address safety and supervision issues.
Outcome 9 Licensed caregivers will report receiving adequate training for their roles and responsibilities.
While DSHS’s performance in the above areas is commendable, it failed to meet full compliance on the following seven outcome measures, indicating a need for improvement in particular areas.
Outcome 1 Children in out-of-home care will receive a private and individual face-to-face health and safety visit from their assigned caseworker, or acceptable substitute worker, at least once every calendar month.
Outcome 2 Caseworkers will have caseloads at or below 18.0 cases per caseworker.
Outcome 8 Children placed apart from siblings will have two or more monthly visits or contacts (not including staffing meetings or court events), with their siblings unless the case meets an exception agreed to by the parties.
Outcome 11 Licensed caregivers will receive appropriate and timely information about the needs of children placed with them.
Outcome 18 Medically fragile children will be connected to ongoing and appropriate medical care and placed with caregivers who have specialized skills or receive consultation and ongoing training regarding their caretaking responsibilities for the medical condition.
Outcome 20 The percentage of children who run from out-of-home care placements will be reduced.
Although DSHS has fallen short of full compliance measures for these outcomes, Children’s Administration of DSHS has proposed various strategies to improve performance in each area.
DSHS’s performance in providing of information about foster children to their caregivers is dismal. For Outcome 11, DSHS fell below the full compliance measure of 90% by 66%.47 Only 24% of caregivers statewide received timely and appropriate information about the children placed with them. Regions 1, 2, and 3 only achieved 26%, 20%, and 25% compliance, respectively.48 This was DSHS’s most egregious failure as reported for July through December 2012. Prior to the January-June 2012 reporting period, compliance was close to the full compliance measure benchmark.49 But for that period and the July-December 2012 period, a new data source was used to measure DSHS’s performance.50 Earlier data was based on a survey of foster parents and caregivers conducted by Washington State University.51 More recent data is based on a targeted case review, as required by the Revised Settlement Agreement.52 This change in data source likely impacted the measurement of DSHS’s performance.
The Final Monitoring Report of the Braam Oversight Panel reveals that Washington’s DSHS has improved significantly in many areas since the Braam lawsuit was settled and the State embarked on its reform efforts under the settlement agreement. However, there is still room for growth. Children in out-of-home placements must be visited more frequently by caseworkers, and should have more sibling visits. Caseloads managed by individual caseworkers should be reduced. Caregivers must be given information regarding children’s needs in a timely manner, especially if the child is medically fragile, for the safety of the child. Finally, DSHS must work to improve its treatment of runaway youth by implementing strategies that will reduce the number of runaways and the amount of time children in placements are missing.

The second of three matches in Yorkshire was played today at Northallerton Bowling Club, who proved wonderful hosts. The Friends were welcomed with an excellent buffet lunch before the game, complete with jelly and ice cream, the green was in excellent condition and the weather just about perfect for bowls.
Regrettably the Yorkshire team had not understood the meaning of the word friendly, and proceeded to win on five rinks with a score of 126 – 89! The Friends rink skipped by Terry James were our only winners and then only by one shot!
The ladies of the Northallerton club served both teams with a hot meal after the game, including pie and mushy peas, and this rounded off a day memorable for everything except the result!
Members of the Friends from twelve different counties played in this game, and all enjoyed the hospitality shown to us by the Northallerton Bowling Club.
The Yorkshire B.A. generously donated half of the raffle proceeds to the Friends.

New Zealand-born singer and actor Kimbra has become a global sensation.
Growing up in Hamilton, Kimbra has evolved from humble roots before embarking on her career and making moves in the entertainment world. Now starring in the latest New Zealand hit film Daffodils and with some smash hits up her sleeve, is there anything she can’t do?
Kimbra spoke to Fashion Quarterly about her career, how to get ahead and her favourite things that make Aotearoa her home.
Tell us a bit about your story so far (where you grew up, your career path and what you’re doing now).
I grew up in Hamilton, signed a management contract at 17 and moved to Melbourne. Then I signed to Warner Bros in Los Angeles at 21 and moved there. Now I live in New York and am beginning work on my fourth album!
Congratulations on your role in Daffodils! What does starring in this film mean to you as a Kiwi and as a musician?
It’s a chance for me to connect to my New Zealand roots and the music I grew up with. The songs are a soundtrack to Kiwi life and it was really fun to reinterpret them for a younger audience.
Who were your Kiwi icons or heroes growing up and how have they shaped you into the person you are today?
I loved songwriters like Bic Runga and Brooke Fraser, but I also liked a lot of punk rock like The Mint Chicks who are also featured in this film. I keep in touch with Ruban from that band who is now in Unknown Mortal Orchestra and he continues to inspire me as a musician.
You’re probably asked this all the time, but what does it really mean to you to be a New Zealander?
I think we’re small town people who dream big!
What’s the first thing you do when you return home to NZ? And more importantly, what’s the first thing you eat?
Vogels, Marmite, Grainwaves and mum’s bacon and egg pie. I always try to fit in fish and chips on Raglan beach too.
Your career requires you to travel relentlessly. Is there something you take with you to make you happy or remind you of home?
I keep my computer set up with a New Zealand landscape as my backdrop, it calms me. I also like to wear New Zealand designers as a way to stay connected to home.
Do you have a favourite memory that is tied to New Zealand music?
I used to cover ‘Sway’ by Bic Runga when I was young and doing my first pub gigs, so that holds a special place in my heart.
How is your own personal journey intertwined with the iconic songs in this film?
Many of the locations are places that I grew up in and have strong ties to. I think the songs in the film have connected me to New Zealand songwriters in a deeper way and reminded me of how much talent there is here.
Being your first ever screen-debut, how did you find the experience of acting?
There’s a lot of stopping and starting which was new for me. But the community aspect was so rewarding, working alongside so many amazing people and being a part of this larger vision where you are just one instrument in the symphony.
What are your top three tips for landing a job in your industry?
Every time I move to a new country there are challenges including making new friends and creating a space where I like to live and write. Also, staying true to what I believe when there is pressure to put business interests first – the music industry is full of challenges and you have to navigate them under a public eye, but I still wouldn’t swap my work for anything else because it’s where I feel I can bring the most to the world.
When I said yes to being in this film! It took courage to step into a new field but I decided if I’m gonna do it, I had to throw myself into it wholeheartedly.
We’re sure your life has been a series of ‘pinch me’ moments, but what’s been your biggest ‘pinch me’ moment so far?
I performed at Riverside Church in Harlem with a huge gospel choir recently to celebrate Martin Luther King. It was one of the last places he spoke before he died and Nelson Mandela’s son was also speaking at the event – it was a real honour to be a part of that.
You have already achieved so much, but what’s next for you?
Writing my next album! I have a Europe tour in March but that will be my last run of shows for the year so I can just focus on writing and recording.

Personal Injury FAQs | Michalk, Beatty & Alcozer, L.P.
In the moments after a serious accident or injury, it is critical to not only get the medical attention you need but also the legal attention you require. It is understandable you have a lot of questions about how a personal injury claim will go in your case and what the next steps are in going forward. Should you even pursue a claim? These are all questions a seasoned personal injury attorney can help answer.
At Michalk, Beatty & Alcozer, L.P., we focus primarily on helping injured victims throughout the Killeen, Texas, area. Our team of highly experienced lawyers has been doing this for over 25 years. We seek maximum results for our clients all while providing the personal attention and compassionate counsel they deserve.
Every situation is unique and one of our attorneys would be happy to go over the facts of your case and help you determine the next appropriate steps. Below are answers to FAQs about personal injury to help give you a general understanding before sitting down with a lawyer on our team.
Why do I need to hire a personal injury attorney?
You may have already been contacted by your insurance company and even the insurance company of the other party. While it may seem tempting to just go forward with what an insurance company offers you, it may not be in your best interests. Remember, the insurance company is only looking out for their business interests, not yours. A lawyer has a fiduciary duty (legal obligation) to look out for your best interests. There can be complications down the line that you don't foresee in your accident case. Having a skilled attorney right away from the beginning at your side can help the process go smoother.
You may have heard this legal term thrown around before. Negligence is a major factor in any personal injury case. In order for a party to recover damages, he or she must prove there was negligence. In a nutshell, this means someone did not exercise reasonable care that ultimately caused the injury or death.
What kind of damages can I seek in a lawsuit?
After an accident, you can seek damages for things like past and future medical expenses, lost wages and loss of earning capacity. In some cases, an injured victim can go after what are called "punitive damages." This is often for pain and suffering endured because of the other party's negligence.
Every situation is different. A case could be quickly settled in a month. A case could also have many issues to resolve and require additional negotiations that could take months and in some cases even years if it goes to trial. Fortunately, our attorneys are highly skilled trial attorneys who can aggressively advocate for you in the courtroom should litigation become necessary.
How will I be able to pay for my legal expenses?
Many personal injury law firms (including our law firm), take personal injury cases on what is called a "contingency fee basis." This means that the client does not pay anything unless the lawyer recovers damages on his or her behalf. A certain percentage of the damages recovered is then given to the lawyer. How this applies to your situation can be discussed in a free initial consultation.
What happens if my loved one died from their injuries. Now what?
Certain family members can file a lawsuit on behalf of a deceased loved one. This is known as a wrongful death claim. Family members who often qualify for this include parents, children and spouses. A wrongful death lawsuit can seek damages such as funeral expenses, loss of consortium, lost income as well as pain and suffering.
We invite you to schedule your free initial consultation to discuss your personal injury claim with one of our lawyers. Call 254-781-0515, 800-461-7291 or contact our firm online. Personal injury claims are handled on a contingency fee (no win, no fee) basis. Hablamos español.

text: I was so phlegmatic about yesterday's conversation you probably thought I was jealous. Well, let me tell you: I am ecstatic that you're finally running with the wolf pack again, so to say. Especially car sales... although I'm sure you'd not only float but swim rapaciously in any business you pursue. Every man that looks that so good in a suit has the potential to reach into people's pockets with his tongue and lol a few things out. No doubt you even showed them your baby-faces cheeks massaged by a thin blade. I think that if I see you on your birthday ever again (such a long time from now!) I would probably give you the eighteenth century gentleman's toiletry set.

Your heat pump offers both heating and cooling to your New Port Richey, Florida, home. However, it probably spends most of its time cooling, and may not get the care it needs to make the transition efficiently in the winter months. Make sure you’re including the following maintenance tasks in your cleaning routine for a properly functioning heat pump. Providing the proper care now will help you stay comfortable all season.
Although it’s easy to overlook your annual maintenance visits, a yearly tune-up from one of our technicians is crucial for efficient heat pump operation. During this visit, we measure refrigerant levels, tighten the connections at electrical terminals, inspect belts, lubricate motors, and test the system to make sure it’s operating properly.
Since your heat pump both heats and cools your home, we pay particular attention to the electric control. This control is responsible for helping your system switch back and forth between heating mode and cooling mode.
Change the filter in your heat pump at least once every three months. Get in the habit of inspecting the filter monthly. A dirty filter leads to reduced airflow. This will cause your energy bills to spike and put unnecessary strain on the system. If it’s visibly dirty, you should change it sooner. This will improve your system’s operation and help you keep a cleaner system and home.
Inspect the outdoor unit of your heat pump and make sure there are no obstructions that will get in the way of airflow. Clear away vegetation, leaves, sticks, and anything else that might stop air from moving freely. This is particularly important if you have any kind of creeping vines that can take hold and grow around the unit.
If your system is overdue for maintenance, give Crystal Air Conditioning & Heating a call at 727-231-6911. We’ll make sure your heat pump is in good working condition and ready for the season ahead.

The NASH-FibroTest includes three noninvasive tests that enable clinicians to make a diagnosis and follow-up treatment decisions: NashTest 2, SteatoTest 2, and FibroTest. The new NASH-FibroTest is based on the latest, more simplified histological definition of NASH from the Clinical Research Network. This new test is also quantitative instead of semi-quantitative, which is more useful for the surveillance of patients at risk for metabolic liver disease and liver cancer in certain populations. Lastly, the new NASH-FibroTest is more convenient because the panel no longer requires BMI.
Diagnosis and the follow-up of liver fibrosis, steatosis, and inflammation.
Assessing inflammation for metabolic diseases. It is interpretable for assessing severity of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) in patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease with steatosis (NAFLD).
Assessing steatosis or fatty liver.
Reassuring patients with steatosis only, without fibrosis.
Managing patients with severe injuries such as advanced fibrosis and NASH.
Both serum and plasma are required for this test.
Centrifuge and aliquot within 2 hours of collection.
Centrifuged serum must be light protected within 4 hours of collection. It is acceptable to draw the blood and then protect it from light after centrifugation as long as it's within 4 hours of collection.

For a long time smali code was hard to handle. Not only the missing highlighting, but also the very limited possibilities of navigating through smali was a key problem for your daily smali work.
Another very useful feature is the resolving of IDs within smali. If you don’t know what I am talking about, let me explain it.
Resources like strings, arrays,booleans, etc. are referenced by IDs in smali. These IDs are saved in a file called public.xml. This file then references entries in several other files like strings.xml, bools.xml, arrays.xml and a few others.
This makes understanding the code a lot easier when such references are used.

This module provides an opportunity for student-lead problem solving applying knowledge acquired to a specific research question.
The module aims to provide students with the opportunity to apply and develop previously acquired knowledge and lab skills to a biomedical sciences research problem and undertake, critically evaluate, reflect, and report on, an individual experimental programme.
Advanced information searching, interpretation and abstraction skills will be applied in the production of a theoretical framework.
Experimental skills will be applied in the design and execution of a laboratory, field or survey based research programme. Analytical and evaluative skills will be applied to data appraisal and contextualisation.
Written presentation skills will be applied in the production of the project report. Oral presentation skills will be applied in the defence of the work undertaken.
This module will require the student to self-direct and manage their own independent learning experience. The area of research will be matched, as far as is possible with the research interest, expertise and existing research projects of the supervisor. Research topics will be identified during the earlier part of the course through formal discussions in tutorials between the students, the Module convenor and a supervisor who has suitable research interests. The supervisor may be a member of academic teaching or research staff within the University, and may jointly supervise with someone from outside in appropriate organisations. Students can also carry out projects in other institutions, or at their workplace, subject to approval of the Module Convenor.
Topics will be chosen that give the opportunity for high-level research that advances the boundaries of current knowledge but gives the student a realistic opportunity of completion. The module will be delivered through a combination of direct contact, feedback tutorials sessions (50 hours), with project supervision (10 hours) and self-directed study (540 hours).
Supervisory support will form a key part of the teaching method, but ultimately, most of the learning will be student-centred. Supervisor meetings will continue periodically through the project. A typical amount of contact time the student can expect is up to 10 hours with the supervisor. Comments on the draft of the dissertation can be expected.
Students will work as individuals on the design and execution of their projects. They will be encouraged to think critically about their findings and, where appropriate, to provide solutions through the design of related experiments or alternative approaches to research.
PDP: students complete a ‘personal statement’, the style of which would be appropriate to a job application and address questions such as - Where do you see yourself in 5-years time? What are your goals? What skills do you have to expand to meet these? What skills have you developed during the research project?
7. write a detailed report in an appropriate scientific form with the correct use of English and defend it during an oral defence.
The assessment comprises the production of an interim report and the final research dissertation, and an oral examination (via Face-to-face messaging system or similar tool).
The interim report should follow a standard structure and provide for example an evaluation and appraisal of the relevant literature, a rationale for the research, together with the aims of proposed research, methodology, results obtained after 6 weeks in the laboratory, discussion of the results, conclusion and further work with justification. It should be 3,000 words in length.
The required length of the dissertation is 9,000 words exclusive of title page, contents, figures, tables, bibliography and appendices. The content should be of sufficient depth to be appropriate for a Masters level award, but broad enough to demonstrate an informed overview of the subject area. The structure of the dissertation will depend upon the nature of the research. Details will be included in the dissertation Module booklet.
To pass the module students must attempt all assessments and achieve an overall minimum aggregate mark of 50%. Failure to submit reports or attend the viva may lead to a fail in this module.

Drinking the Pounds Off: Does Green Tea Actually Promote Weight Loss?
How is green tea prepared for weight loss?
Green tea contains several substances that may promote weight loss, like caffeine, catechin, and antioxidants.
While many people have experienced positive results, no significant studies prove that it’s effective.
Health and wellness experts say there’s no harm in consuming green in moderation.
Dieticians and physicians agree: maintaining a healthy body weight can prolong your life significantly, helping to lower your risk of developing heart disease, diabetes, and other chronic illnesses.
Despite these benefits, many people find that keeping the weight off is a big challenge. There’s no magic weight loss pill, but there is evidence that a hot cup of green tea could help.
Green tea comes from the Camellia sinensis plant, otherwise known as the tea plant or tea tree. It has a long history in healing, primarily in Chinese medicine, where it has been used for everything from repairing wounds to treating headaches. Though green tea is largely devoid of significant nutrients, it does contain several phytochemicals and flavonoids with proven antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits.
The most promising fat buster in green tea is caffeine, which is known to stimulate metabolic rate, providing energy and some weight loss benefits.
“Caffeine is a well-known stimulant that has been shown to aid fat burning and improve exercise performance in numerous studies,” says Dr. Green. Some believe that caffeine and other ingredients in green tea increase fat oxidation, which helps break down fat cells, keeping us trim.
Green tea is also chock full of flavonoids known as catechins, which work alongside caffeine to provide weight-related benefits.
“Catechin is an antioxidant, and research suggests that both caffeine and catechin can speed up metabolism. Catechin plays a role in helping to break down excess fat, and both catechin and caffeine can increase the amount of energy the body uses,” says Dr. Green.
The primary antioxidant in green tea is EGCG, which may help slow down an enzyme that breaks down the hormone norepinephrine.
“The body’s nervous system uses norepinephrine to tell fat cells to break down fat,” says Dr. Green. An increase in norepinephrine means an increase in the amount of fat your body breaks down.
Although many experts believe that green tea leaves are loaded with ingredients that can help you lose weight, there are actually no studies that conclusively support its efficacy. Studies have shown, however, that certain substances in green tea are indeed beneficial — caffeine really can increase your metabolic rate, for example — but the actual long-term weight loss benefits seem to be minimal.
According to a study published in Clinical Nutrition, women who consumed about 1,350 milligrams of green tea per day dropped an average of 2.4 pounds in 15 weeks, whereas the control group dropped 4.4 pounds over 12 weeks — not nearly enough to constitute significant weight loss. Other studies have shown that the catechins in green tea do show a small, positive effect when used to help people lose weight.
Aside from weight loss, some studies indicate that consuming the popular tea could provide overall health benefits. Proponents claim that green tea can cure everything from high blood pressure to type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. In fact, several studies have shown that the tea might help curb heart problems — a 2015 meta-analysis showed that drinking one cup of green tea every day resulted in a 5 percent lower risk of death from heart disease.
There are two primary ways to use green tea to lose weight: by consuming it (either eating or drinking it), or by taking green tea supplements. Using green tea bags, you can brew yourself hot or iced tea and drink it in moderation. You can also use green tea powder — otherwise known as matcha green tea powder — to make smoothies, baked goods, and more.
“A common recommendation is to drink two to three cups of green tea per day, or to take 250 to 500 milligrams of green tea extract once a day,” says Dr. Green, citing a 2004 study from the Journal of Health Science.
While the most common way to get your green tea fix is to sip it from a teacup, you can also take supplements in the form of capsules. But be careful — consuming large doses in the form of daily supplements can trigger serious side effects.
Also bear in mind that the natural medicine industry remains largely unregulated, which increases the incidence of quality control problems during the manufacturing process. Ask your physician for advice before purchasing any type of herbal supplement.
While drinking a cup of hot green tea every once in a while likely won’t lead to any serious health complications, it is commonly associated with mild side effects as well as some serious but rare complications, including instances of permanent liver damage.
The key, according to experts, is to keep your consumption of green tea relatively low, at no more than 500 milligrams per day.
You may also want to limit your green tea consumption if you’re pregnant or nursing. Those with anemia, anxiety disorders, bleeding disorders, diabetes, heart conditions, liver disease, and osteoporosis should also be careful.
Dr. Green also says that it’s important to avoid large doses of green tea in order to prevent some mild digestive side effects and other unpleasant conditions. “Drinking more than five cups a day is thought to be unsafe,” he warns. Consuming excess amounts of green tea can cause diarrhea, heartburn, stomach problems, headaches, and palpitations.
So can green tea really help you reach your ideal weight? Caffeine could help you boost exercise performance, and catechins may help speed up your metabolism and facilitate faster weight loss.
There aren’t any groundbreaking studies that show a few cups of green tea can melt away fat, but there is evidence that it has minor health benefits. As long as you stick to the recommended dosage, there’s no harm in giving green tea a try.

Two theories of crisis: wages too low (underconsumption) and profits too high, or wages too high and profits too low. Why can’t both theories explain different crises? In 1929 and 2007, high profits and low wages. But in 1981, low profits and high wages.
Also, the two theories don’t seem to take account of the extreme speculation which occurred before the 1929 and 2007 crises.

Jack and Sara continue with their secret trysts, and it begins to cause problems for Jack at home. Elaine is worried about their relationship. When she admits that someone she does business with has a crush on her, Jack thinks he has good taste and notes her honesty. "You'd do the same, right?" she says. Umm…. Jack's work life is also getting even more complicated. Unaware that Drew has planted a bug in Karsten's office, business goes on as usual causing some major potential problems as the feds begin to close in. Jack struggles to stay one step ahead of Drew, while he and Thatcher wonder how Drew is getting all of his information.
Meanwhile, the secret relationship causes Sara to blossom with a new sense of self-confidence. Even Alissa notices how much bolder Sara has become. "This new Sara. This whole transformation. It's because of him, isn't it?" she wonders. Sara explains how life has changed since she met Jack. But when Alissa asks if he ever talks about his wife, Sara admits: "It's like we're living in a bubble. There are a lot of things we don't talk about."
Later, during one of their steamy rendezvous, Sara asks Jack to tell her about his family. "Do you ever feel we don't know enough about each other?" she wonders. He tells her about his children, but the air gets thick when he starts talking about Elaine. When Sara asks Jack about Elaine's garden (a detail that Drew mentioned to her in private), things get a little awkward. How could Drew have known that? The next thing we know, Jack tumbles into Karsten's office and locates the bug that Drew had planted. He destroys it and announces: "There we go. Problem solved."
Elsewhere, T.J. convinces Rodney, his new friend, to let him work at the garage – much to Thatcher's detest. Sara visits Elaine, who has no idea who she is, at her restaurant. And Jack tries to teach his son a life lesson about deception after he's made aware of Vic's involvement in that brutal attack from a previous episode.
And as Drew's case of corruption and bribery starts crumbling, he tries to coerce Brandy in a last-ditch attempt to trap Karsten. She demands a clean record, a place in a good school district and a Green Card, no questions asked. "You make me an American," she says, "and I'll do whatever you want." As far as Drew is concerned, she can consider it done.
At the end of the episode, Brandy goes to see Thatcher. Plus, Jack deals with his own personal guilt. And Drew discovers a photo of a naked Sara asleep on her own camera – a photo that Jack took. He immediately confronts his wife. "Nice photos…" is all he says.

update: Oops, Ax Men and Chopped led Sunday cable, with a 1.4 adults 18-49 rating.
Army Wives and Kourtney & Kim Take New York were next best, tied with a 1.1 adults 18-49 rating.
We’ve posted some of these numbers already, but below is more detail and demo info. I had a feeling the adults 18-49 numbers for The Killing weren’t great when our friends at AMC (and they really are very nice) ignored my request for adult 18-49 ratings yesterday, but I didn’t expect it to be quite as low as it was (0.7 rating). The “wisdom of the crowds” prevails again!
Buck up fans of The Killing, if the special preview is any indication, Game of Thrones is looking kind of overhyped.

A young woman steals her way down darkened passages in Korogocho — one of Kenya’s largest slums. Crime, prostitution and drug use are rampant in the locality where a quarter of a million people reside and the young woman’s eyes dart around erratically on the lookout for danger.
It should be one of the happiest days of her life — she is pregnant and has just gone into labor. She is also one of the fortunate few that can afford to go to hospital. Some women face a homebirth where, instead of medical equipment, they must make do with cotton wool and razorblades. But the journey to hospital leaves her vulnerable to opportunistic assault.
For Aggrey Otieno, a human rights activist, this scenario is exactly what he is trying to prevent. A facilitator of social change, he has dedicated his life to improving the living conditions — especially for women and children — in the Kenyan slum where he spent his childhood.

If you fill in the contact form we can gladly send you various sub-base specifications we use depending upon the sites because obviously a garden with light traffic and no vehicles driving across it will require less structural strength than lets say a nursery play area http://www.artificialgrasscost.co.uk/nursery-play-area/suffolk/chimney-street/ where delivery vans might need to get over and heavy use. If you complete the contact details we will get back to you straight away to answer any questions.
A sub base is the layer of aggregate which is laid prior to the installation of synthetic turf http://www.artificialgrasscost.co.uk/installation/suffolk/chimney-street/ (or any other surfacing type you wish to install). A sub base is needed to create a surface for the synthetic carpet to be laid onto in order to create a smooth, flat surface. Sub-base costs may vary due to other factors, such as the existing surfacing that you have down. Excavating the existing surface will have to go into the price of prep works. For more information on sub bases, please fill in our contact form and we'll get back in touch with all the information you require.
Synthetic turf preparation cost for groundworks to a garden facility in Chimney Street CO10 8 is on average £20 per m² so hopefully these rates will give you some kind of incline to the prices and quotes you will receive.
The costs of preparing artificial grass in Chimney Street CO10 8 vary depending upon a number of factors. As specialists closest to you and your surrounding areas, we are able to provide your facility with a high quality surfacing that suits all your requirements. We have years of experience and expert knowledge which can guarentee the best results throughout the UK. Our team are able to supply http://www.artificialgrasscost.co.uk/supply/suffolk/chimney-street/ you with a range of surface bases that will improve your local facility. Speak to us today if you'd like to find out more information adn receive more details.
Should you want any further information regarding the costs for the surfacing then other pages on this website explain in detail various elements of the full quotes which include the supply of carpet prices and the installation of the artificial turf however for firm written quotations you are much better to fill in the contact form with as much details as possible and we will respond with all the details on artificial grass preparation costs in Chimney Street CO10 8 or even a free quotation.

The following paints a picture of Aarti’s work as a 2018-19 Doris Duke International Clinical Research Fellow.
The pastel painted brick clinic stands apart from the rest of town. It is well-maintained with brightly colored birds of paradise and rose bushes lining the walkways while Mount Elgon towers over the scene.
There are dozens of patients waiting to be seen. There are mothers with small children, sons with their elderly fathers – all ages, all states of health. Those who arrived early are seated on wooden benches in the waiting area, while the others look for spots under shady trees to lay out their brightly colored blankets to protect them from the sun. It’s 9 am, and some patients have already been seen by the triage nurse, while others stand in line to get their weight and blood pressure taken. There is a sense of order and peace as the clinic gets ready for the day.
Soon after, the clinician arrives and gathers the growing stack of handwritten charts. “Sasa? Poa.” Casual greetings and handshakes are exchanged. They all know him, because, well, they’ve been seeing him for years. He knows them too, and their stories, and their illnesses. One by one, the patients trickle into the Spartan clinic room-just a bed, a table, and two chairs. The provider brings with him a portable EKG machine, so that the patients can get their measurements taken and read immediately to inform treatment. A few of these patients are referred up to the county hospital for further management and lab investigations, and others are simply told to go to pharmacy, get their medications, and return for follow up. One by one, until they have all been seen.
Some patients left their homes at 4am, gave up a full day of work, and traveled many miles on rocky, unpaved roads just to make it into clinic that morning. The patients who had enough money piled into matatus (mini-vans notorious for having more passengers than seatbelts), whereas other patients had to transverse the hilly terrain by foot. When they have finished their appointment, they will turn around and repeat the long journey. Unless it rains. The rain can turn the road into a treacherous mud pit, which becomes a trap for any patient attempting to travel back on a boda boda (a debatably reliable motorcycle). Other personal circumstances can also prevent the patient from coming in. For example, if the clinic days clash with the harvest or circumcision seasons, patients are less likely to prioritize a disease that is not actively giving them problems.
Sometimes the clinician calls at 10am: he’s held up in another location and won’t be able to come to clinic today. The patients are told to get refills from the nurses and return in one month to hopefully see the clinician then. Similarly, if the clinician cannot bring the EKG machine, the number of referrals to the county hospital goes up. Thus, the time and monetary costs of accessing care continue to build up. From this simple anecdote, it is easy to see how a patient’s blood pressure can go unchecked and uncontrolled for many months at a time, furthering the risk of cardiovascular illness.
These are the realities of patients living in rural Western Kenya. Even when care is available, the patient may not have access.
(AMPATH) program based in Eldoret, Kenya. AMPATH was first created as a partnership between Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital and Indiana University; it has since expanded to include other North American partners including Duke University and Mount Sinai. The program was developed as a community program for HIV. The partnership established clinics across Western Kenya whose sole mission was to find, link, treat, and retain patients with HIV. Today, AMPATH has built upon this core clinical network to deliver comprehensive care beyond HIV. These Comprehensive Care Clinics have services that range from cardiovascular care to oncology to maternal and child health. While research and population health program development are important pillars in AMPATH, the mission above all is to lead with care, with the patient and community at the center.
Included in AMPATH’s outreach programs are Chronic Disease Management clinics. Similar to the one described above, these clinics consist of providers who travel out to rural community sites at least once a month to examine patients suffering from diabetes, hypertension, and other chronic diseases. A pharmacy program was also started at numerous clinic sites to ensure a steady supply of necessary medications. These programs, among other initiatives, have greatly improved many patients’ access to care by bringing the needed resources closer to home.
Even so, there are situations where patients need higher levels of care than can be delivered in a lower level facility. There are also patients who continue to travel hours to be seen at a higher facility when they could easily be managed at a lower level. Then, there are other patient referrals that are simply never completed and the patients are lost to follow up.
This year, I have the opportunity to observe these successes and failures of the care system in hopes of addressing one key question: what is happening when patients are referred between facilities in our health system? Our team has spent the last six weeks traveling to 20+ sites across Western Kenya, conducting interviews, focus groups, and barazas (town hall type meetings) with patients, clinicians, and other key stakeholders. We are also examining patient referral flow to create observational maps of the clinics as well as network maps of referrals between facilities. This represents a lesson that can be applicable to many health system initiatives across the globe: It is impossible to know the full story as a spectator. Instead of assuming patients don’t go to clinic because they are unconcerned about their illness, we may find that they are hindered by transportation or costs. Or we may come to understand that providers are not referring patients because they do not want them to be lost to follow up, not because they don’t know where to refer to. To learn the barriers our communities face, we spend days out at our sites, take the time be immersed with patients and providers, and really listen to their stories. Only then can we start to understand the finer nuances that must be addressed to increase access and improve care.
Thank you for sharing this experience, especially including the patients struggles as part of the whole story. Unfortunately so often missed. Thank you for giving your time.

One of the visual effects that is a mainstay in my Web design toolkit is the letterpress effect. Used properly, it’s a quick way to make text blend better with the layout, as if it were machine-stamped onto the background. Think of what a home appliance marquee or a professional business card looks (and feels) like, and you’ll know what I’m talking about.
I’ve developed a simple workflow for creating a letterpress text effect in Adobe Fireworks that, with the advent of CSS3, can be applied directly to HTML text — no images needed. Here’s the best part: it doesn’t use any Bevel or Emboss Live Filters.
Letterpress is a venerable technique of printing that involves “pressing” a plate of movable type onto a sheet of paper to produce an effect that is impressed (where the text is pressed down onto the paper) or embossed (where the text is raised above the surface of the paper).
The classic charm of letterpress found its place in digital design once designers were able to emulate its effect on screen. To accomplish that, designers observed the effect of light and shadow on the dents on paper that had gone through the printing process. Imagine a light shining down at an angle on a sheet of letterpress text. Impressed text will appear to have a sliver of highlighting at the bottom edge of the letters and a thin shadow at the top edge. Embossed text is just the opposite: highlights on top, shadows on the bottom. These properties create the effect of raised or sunken areas along the surface, and this can be translated using effects made possible by both Fireworks and the CSS3 specification.
WHY NOT JUST USE BEVEL OR EMBOSS?
Fireworks’ Bevel and Emboss Live Filters are a bit primitive for my tastes. The refinement controls are unwieldy — for example, you can’t set highlights and shadows independently — and the result is subpar. It works OK for straight edges and sharp corners, but it gets rough around curves. I suspect this is because the effect is raster-based, so that it can work with any object (shape, text or embedded image); a vector-based tool would have allowed for a smoother and more precise effect.
The letterpress effect using the Outer Bevel Live Filter. Notice the roughness of the curved edges.
A better way to recreate the effect would be to use the Drop Shadow Live Filter, because it produces smoother edges. This solution hinges on a basic setting: a shadow and a highlight, offset exactly 1 pixel up or down, relative to the text object. For this tutorial, we’ll start with two text objects of different colors, set against a colored background.
Start with two text objects.
Apply a “Highlight” (distance: 1; color: #FFFFFF; opacity: 90%; blur: 0; angle: 90;) to the top of the text.
Embossed effect applied to the “Smashing” text object.
The opacity of the Drop Shadow filters will depend on how light or dark the background is in relation to the text’s color. Tweak these values according to how pronounced you want the letterpress effect to be.
Adjust the opacity value in the Drop Shadow Live Filter.
To create an impressed effect for the second text object, just switch the angle values of the “Shadow” and “Highlight” Drop Shadow filters shown in the previous step, so that the shadow is on top of the text and the highlight is on the bottom. Adjust the opacity values to maintain contrast against the darker text object’s color.
Impressed effect applied to the “Magazine” text object.
Note: These effects work best with text and background color combinations that aren’t black and white, as in our example. If you’re working with black text or black backgrounds, you’ll want to skip the “Shadow” effect, because it will do little for the text. Similarly, for white text or white backgrounds, forego the “Highlight” effect.
Now that our letterpress effects are in place, we can save them as Fireworks Styles so that we can use them again later without having to apply each filter manually.
In the “New Style” dialog box, let’s give our style a descriptive name, like “Letterpress Emboss.” Uncheck all properties except for “Effect,” and click OK.
Repeat steps 1 to 4 for the “Magazine” text object.
You should now see two new items in your Styles panel. The next time you want to apply the emboss or impress effect to a text object, just select that object, and click on the new style that you created.
Additionally, you can save these new styles as a Style Library file (*.stl), to share with other designers or to back up your styles before reinstalling Fireworks.

[color-alpha] is set using an RGBa value: rgba(r, g, b, a).
The last value (a) determines the transparency of the color (where 0 is completely transparent, 0.5 is half-transparent, and 1 is completely opaque).
Here, I have slightly adjusted the opacity values in the text-shadow property (relative to the original values in the Drop Shadow Live Filter in Fireworks) to better suit the way fonts are rendered in the browser.

Writing CSS code by hand is what we Web professionals usually do. But in some cases, tools can help us, too.
Fireworks CS6 (which was recently released) has a new feature that could help you when you want to quickly (yet reliably) translate the properties of a visual element in the design to CSS3 code. The CSS Properties panel can extract CSS3 code for virtually any object selected on the canvas, including text objects and live filters.
Let’s see how this could help us in practice when working with the letterpress effect!
If you have a copy of Fireworks CS6 (a trial version would do, too), open the letterpress-effect.fw.png file provided with this tutorial (see the Downloads section further below), and then with the Selection tool, select the first text object.
Open the letterpress-effect.fw.png file, and select the first text object.
Next, open the CSS Properties panel (in the menu, Window → CSS Properties, or Control/Command + F7), and while the first text object is selected, notice how the CSS panel instantly shows the object’s properties.
The CSS Properties panel shows the properties of the selected text object as CSS code. Highlighted here is the code that translates the two Live Filters into CSS.
As you see, we’ve got results similar to what we achieved earlier with the manual method. Fireworks CS6 has automatically translated the Live Filters that were applied to the “embossed” text object into clean and valid CSS!
Similarly, you can extract and copy the CSS for the Live Filters applied to the “impressed” text effect.
And if you strive for perfection (as many of us do), along with the CSS Properties panel, you can useCSS Professionalzr, an excellent free extension by Matt Stow that can further optimize the code produced by the CSS Properties panel.
Of course, even if you’ve already switched to Fireworks CS6, you can always opt to translate the properties of Live Filters to CSS code manually. But when you’re dealing with a lot of objects, the CSS Properties panel comes in really handy and can save you precious time.
Text effects are the last thing you want to abuse, because they could impair readability, especially for people with vision problems. Restrict them to headings and interactive items (such as buttons and menu links).
Enable them to degrade gracefully.
While most modern browsers already support CSS3 to some extent (see the note below), Internet Explorer 9 still doesn’t recognize the text-shadow property. In an effort to make things look consistent, you might want to look for a workaround, but I highly recommend that yougracefully degrade the effect in browsers that don’t support the property. Effects should be enhancements, not vital features.
Please note: Browsers that fully support the text-shadow property (with multiple shadows) include Firefox 3.5+, Chrome 4+, Safari 4+ and Opera 9.5. As of version 9, Internet Explorer still does not support the official text-shadow definition; instead, it has a proprietary filter that achieves a similar effect.
Here are a few real-world examples of the letterpress effect in action.
The letterpress effect — applied to the (image-rendered) logotype and headings — creates a bit of contrast against the background here, while still keeping everything subtle. Notice the use of both embossed and impressed effects in the column headings.
The use of only one text-shadow effect, and only on the headings, exemplifies Janko’s restraint in order to maintain contrast and readability. Also notice the 45° offset in the highlight effect, which you can achieve in CSS by adding a 1-pixel x-offset to the text-shadow.
Need a sample to study? Download the archive for this tutorial (ZIP, 84.5 KB), which includes the Fireworks PNG (created in Adobe Fireworks CS5) and the HTML sample.
The Fireworks PNG uses the awesome (and free) Ultra font.
You can also download the Style Library separately (ZIP, 22.3 KB), created in Adobe Fireworks CS5.
The samples (i.e. the Fireworks PNG and Style Library) should work fine in any recent version of Fireworks (CS4, CS5, CS5.1, CS6).

I posted something similar about this technique in Photoshop and translated it to the web as well. I know from my site’s poor analytics that my post couldn’t possibly be the inspiration for this post, but it thought it might be helpful for the fellow Photoshop peeps out there.
Excellent article! I like the fact that you went from Fireworks out to CSS (and even made use of the CSS Properties panel in CS6).
