This option allows users better access to their environment. With the PSE2 option, the user can reach top drawers of a file cabinet, kitchen cabinets, high shelves and so forth. They will be able to see the food that is being offered at the cafeteria, reach merchandise on display racks, etc.
Power Seat Elevator 2 (PSE2) uses a scissor lift mechanism and is available on the BOUNDER Power Wheelchair. The seat, back, arms and front rigging all elevate together. The PSE2 can elevate up to 13" (33.02cm)* depending on user weight, bringing the user to standing eye level. Even more impressive, most users under 400 lbs can drive the chair in the raised position.

Wisconsin’s secretary of state has no role in the election, but that could change if Republicans can flip the seat this year and pass a law that would empower the office with far more responsibilities.
All three GOP candidates vying for the nomination in Tuesday’s primary are supporting the shift and repeating former President Donald Trump’s false claims that fraud cost him the 2020 election.
If successful, the move would be a bold attempt to shift power to an office that Republicans hope to control going into the 2024 presidential election, and would represent a reversal from just six years ago, when Republicans established the Wisconsin Board of Elections with bipartisan support. In 2020, Democrat Joe Biden won Wisconsin by about 21,000 votes in the presidential race.
“This is not about politics,” said David Becker, a former U.S. Justice Department attorney who heads the nonpartisan Center for Election Innovation and Research. “It’s about the election results and only the election results.”
Once an under-the-radar contest overshadowed by campaigns for governor and attorney general, races for secretary of state are attracting huge interest and money this year, largely because of the 2020 election, when voting systems and processes came under attack by the Trump and his supporters. There is no evidence of widespread fraud or manipulation of electoral systems that occurred in the 2020 election.
There are also primaries Tuesday in the Secretary of State races in Minnesota, Connecticut and Vermont. In Minnesota, the leading Republican candidate has called the 2020 election “rigged” and has faced criticism for a video attacking three prominent Jewish Democrats, including the current secretary of state, Democrat Steve Simon, who is seeking re-election.
Although the stakes are high, the Wisconsin primary for secretary of state has been mostly quiet. The incumbent, Democrat Doug La Follette, has barely campaigned. In June, the 81-year-old, who was first elected to the post in 1974, opted to take a two-week trip to Africa.
La Follette has raised about $21,000, according to the most recent campaign finance reports. This is not unusual because the office’s only duties are to sit on a state timber board and verify certain travel documents.
La Follette said he decided to run again to prevent Republicans from meddling in the election, citing Trump’s call to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger after the 2020 election to “find” enough votes to overturn Biden’s victory in the state. La Follette’s primary challenger, Dane County Democratic Party Executive Board Chairwoman Alexia Sabor, has raised about $24,000.
Republican candidates argue that disbanding the election commission and authorizing the secretary of state to oversee elections would allow voters to put someone in charge of major election-related decisions. All have strongly criticized the decisions taken by the commission for the 2020 elections when the COVID-19 pandemic brought major challenges to the conduct of the elections.
To achieve their goal, Republicans would also have to defeat Democratic Gov. Tony Evers, who would block such a move, in November.
The top fundraiser among GOP secretary of state candidates is state Rep. Amy Loudenbeck, who has reported about $94,000 in contributions. The other two Republicans are businessman Jay Schroeder and Justin Schmidtka, who hosts a political podcast. Liberal candidate Neil Harmon is also on the ballot.
In Minnesota, the leading Republican candidate for secretary of state, Kim Crockett, called the 2020 election a “wreck” and accused state election officials of using the pandemic as “cover to change the way we vote, but also the way we count of votes. .”
While Crockett does not usually publicly claim that the election was stolen by Trump, she has associated with those who do and has campaigned at events with them.
At the state party convention in May, at which Crockett was endorsed by the convention delegates, she showed a video depicting billionaire investor and philanthropist George Soros as a puppet, pulling the strings of Simon, the current secretary of state and prominent election lawyer Marc. Elias, with a caption that read, “Let’s ruin the election once and for all.”
All three men are Jewish. The state GOP chairman soon apologized, arguing that Crockett did not mean to be anti-Semitic. Crockett did not apologize, and a day after the president’s apology, she sent a fundraising letter titled “Media Collusions and Communist Tears” and claiming she was the victim of “fabricated and false political attacks.”
In their respective primaries, Crockett and Simon face lesser-known opponents — Republican Erik van Mechelen and Democrat Steve Carlson.
The Connecticut and Vermont races have drawn a lot of interest after two longtime Democratic secretaries of state said they would not seek re-election.
Much of the debate in both the Democratic and Republican primaries in Connecticut has centered on voter ID requirements. A Connecticut voter can sign an affidavit instead of presenting an ID, and there are many forms of ID accepted, including a bank or utility bill.
Republican candidate Dominic Rapini, who is a former board chairman of a group called Fight Voter Fraud Inc., has called for stricter ID requirements and a cleanup of the state’s voter rolls. While Rapini says he is suspicious of voter fraud in Connecticut and believes reforms are necessary, he has not echoed Trump’s claim that the 2020 election was stolen.
Rapini faces state Rep. Terrie Wood, R-Darien, who has also called for stricter voter ID rules and cleaning up voter rolls.
On the Democratic side, both candidates oppose the GOP’s voter ID proposals. State Rep. Stephanie Thomas of Norwalk, who won the party’s endorsement at the state convention this spring, faces Marija Bond, New Haven’s city health director.
In Vermont, the Democratic primary has gotten the most attention. For the first time since 2010, Secretary of State Jim Kontos, a Democrat, will not be on the ballot after announcing plans to retire.
All three Democratic candidates in Tuesday’s primary are vowing to continue efforts to make elections in the state as accessible and safe as possible. Last year, the Legislature passed a law requiring general election ballots to be mailed to all registered voters, though people can still choose to vote in person on Election Day.
The nominees are Deputy Secretary of State Chris Winters, who has worked in the office for 25 years. State Rep. Sarah Copeland Hanzas, who co-sponsored last year’s election law; and Montpelier City Clerk John Odum, who has overseen elections in Vermont’s capital for the past decade.
A perennial candidate for office, H. Brooke Paige, is the only person running in the GOP primary. He also appears on the ballot for three other statewide offices.
Cassidy reported from Washington. Associated Press writers Steve Karnowski in Minneapolis, Susan Haigh in Hartford, Connecticut and Wilson Ring in Montpelier, Vermont contributed to this report.

All elementary school students in the Greater Montreal region will need to wear pediatric surgical masks in the classroom when they return to school after March break.
Officials confirmed the measure on Wednesday and the provincial government is expected to officially announce it on Thursday.
tap here to see other videos from our team.
It will first apply to some 272,000 elementary school-age children in Montreal as of March 8 before being expanded to other red zones across Quebec the following week. The Quebec government will furnish the masks.
The announcement comes as Montreal’s public health director, Mylène Drouin, warned that more transmissible coronavirus variants are increasingly spreading among children in the city’s schools and daycares.
During a news conference Wednesday, Drouin said between eight and 10 per cent of new COVID-19 cases in Montreal are now presumed to be linked to variants, mainly the strain first detected in the United Kingdom.
“The more aggressive we are the more we can contain the outbreaks and stop it from spreading,” Drouin said.
There have so far been 22 outbreaks involving variants in Montreal, including 11 in schools, six in daycares, three in workplaces and two “in social contexts.”
Every positive test result in the city is now being screened to determine if it was caused by a variant. Drouin said early results indicate the new strains are mainly circulating among children in schools, who are in turn spreading it to their parents.
Of the 300 suspected variant cases in the city, more than 40 per cent involve children. People between the age of 35 and 44 represent another 20 per cent of the cases, Drouin said, “which we believe are their parents.”
With the vaccine being rolled out to those 85 and older as of next week, Drouin said the goal is to hold off the variants until the city’s most vulnerable residents have received their shot.
The city’s public health department is taking an “aggressive” approach to slowing the spread, she said, in hopes of buying time before the variants take hold.
Since January, the department has closed two schools because of suspected variants and another five because of the size of the outbreaks. One workplace was also closed.
“When we have a first case, we do more intensive contact tracing, we isolate more people, we do mass screening more extensively,” Drouin explained. “But we don’t necessarily close the school or workplace. It depends on the number of contacts that are implicated.”
Drouin welcomed Tuesday’s announcement about the vaccine campaign but also warned it doesn’t mean Montrealers can let their guard down yet.
“Vaccination is not magic,” she said. “We know that for the elderly, it can take up to three weeks to obtain protection, so we ask that people continue to respect the public health measures.”
Sonia Bélanger, head of the CIUSSS du Centre-Sud-de-l’Île-de-Montréal, said Montreal is set to receive 75,000 vaccine doses next week.
Bélanger said Montreal only has 42,000 seniors 85 or older who aren’t in long-term care centres or private seniors’ residences, so she doesn’t expect there to be any supply issues during the first phase.
Drouin added that she believes Montreal will be able to move onto other age groups “fairly quickly.”
In announcing the vaccine campaign Tuesday, the provincial government said it will prioritize people living in the Greater Montreal area, where the number of active cases remains higher.
Montreal is still reporting between 350 and 400 new COVID-19 cases per day. The situation in hospitals has improved in recent weeks, despite a slight increase in the number of intensive-care patients.
Bélanger said all hospitals in Montreal have now been asked to restart up to 75 per cent of regular activities and surgeries. There are roughly 45,000 Montrealers waiting for surgeries at the moment.
Overall, Quebec reported 806 new COVID-19 cases on Wednesday and 17 more deaths as hospitalizations continued to drop. Montreal added 410 new cases and two deaths.

AMBASSADOR PAUL LUSAKA: "The United Nations Council for Namibia on the basis of the feats recounted above is opposed to continuation of contacts between the United Nations and the hostile regime of South Africa, because it believes that they can only prejudice the United Nations position, and result in a de facto recognition of a situation which is illegal and contrary to the interests of the Namibian people. The contacts must be terminated, since, as it had been proved that they serve only to alleviate the pressure created by the advisory opinion created by the International Court of Justice."

Background: African nations called upon the United Nations Security Council to end talks between the United Nations General Secretary, Dr. Kurt Waldheim, and the South African government over Namibia (South West Africa) on Monday (December 10).
The call was made at the first meeting of the Council on Namibia for nearly a year and Peru formally proposed that the contacts between Dr. Waldheim and South Africa should be discontinued. Dr. Waldheim was also asked to keep the Council informed about any new developments on the question.
The Peruvian resolution was introduced in the country's capacity as a member of the "Group of Three" -- a consultative panel of Peru, the Sudan and Yugoslavia appointed to liaise with Dr. Waldheim over his handling of the question of question of Namibia.
The territory, which is rich in minerals, was formerly a German colony. It was administered by South Africa under a mandate form the League of Nations which the U.N. General Assembly voted to terminate in 1966.
But South Africa refused to hand over the territory to U.N. control or accept the legality of the Assembly's action. In an effort to break the deadlock, the Security Council voted in February last year to authorise Dr. Waldheim to open contacts with South Africa aimed at obtaining self-determination and independence for Namibia.
Dr. Waldheim's report on his efforts said South Africa's position on some of the basic issues fell short of the Security Council's demands and recalled that the Organisation of African Unity and non-Aligned States Summit Meetings had called for the ending of the talks.
Ambassador Paul Lusaka of Zambia, President of the U.N. Council for Namibia (set up in 1967 with the aim of administering the territory pending independence) said its members were extremely dissatisfied with the conduct of the talks and called upon the Security Council if necessary to use sanctions "to compel Vorster and his band of imperialist-colonialist plunderers to withdraw form Namibia."
Guinea's Ambassador at the United Nations, Mrs. Jeanne Martin Cisse, said her delegation's apprehensions bout continuing the contacts with South Africa had been confirmed. She pointed out that the O.A.U. supported the armed struggle of S.W.A.P.A. (South West Africa Peoples' Organisation) for independence and said countries having relations with South Africa should extend to that country the embargoes in affect for Southern Rhodesia.
The Soviet Ambassador, Mr. Yakov Malik, accused multinational corporations of exploiting salve labour in South Africa.
The text of an extract of the English language speech by Mr. Lusaka included in this film is given below.

By Constantinos Hadjistassou
The Russian Federation’s annexation of the Crimea has reawakened the spectre of EU energy security, bringing back memories of the 2006 and 2009 energy rows between Russia and the Ukraine.
The 2009 dispute resulted in the cutting off of natural gas supply to eastern European countries, such as Romania, Bulgaria and Poland. It was the first time that the flow of natural gas from the Soviet pipeline grid to European countries was completely shut down.
The hampered flow of natural gas dealt an irreversible blow to Russia’s credibility; Russia was stigmatized as using gas as a tool for political and economic blackmail.
The move also raised questions as to the uncertainty of gas supply and the fickleness of energy contracts. Certainly the relationship between Russia and Europe is mutual.
On the one hand, Russia to a large degree depends financially on oil and natural gas exports, which account for 70 per cent of its exports and for 50 per cent of the revenues of the federal budget. On the other hand, Russian natural gas imports account for about 30 per cent of the EU’s energy needs.
Although much is made of the EU’s dependence on Russian energy, there is no doubt – and this can be documented – that Russia is financially reliant on the EU.
In this respect Russia understands that it is not in its interest to disrupt its relatively good relations with EU countries, its major trading partners. Otherwise stated, keeping a balance is key to both sides.
It’s also noteworthy that although the EU imports 35 per cent of its oil needs and only 30 per cent of its natural gas needs, the bloc is almost exclusively preoccupied with natural gas.
This can be explained by the fact that supplies of oil (and petroleum by-products) may be secured from alternative sources should Russia halt sales to the EU. Moreover, oil can easily be transported aboard tankers, from oil fields to refineries and then onto points of consumption.
Even more significantly, Saudi Arabia, the largest OPEC oil producer, is a swing producer and is able to step into a supply vacuum and prevent a shortage.
Something along those lines occurred in the price row during the 1979 oil crisis, when oil production was scaled back with the outbreak of the Iraq-Iran war.
By contrast, natural gas is chiefly transported via pipeline, and in the event of reduced flows it is very difficult to make up for shortages.
In the wake of the Russia-Ukraine energy crisis of 2009, the EU placed a great deal of emphasis on beefing up its energy security.
In brief, the EU’s so-called “third energy package” consisted of expanding the links among the European natural gas pipeline network, ensuring two-way flows of natural gas in the pipelines, expanding the connections in the electricity grid, diversification of supply and energy-saving.
On a national level, countries like Poland and Lithuania have gone ahead with building liquefied natural gas-receiving terminals, while other countries such as Latvia have increased their natural gas storage capacity.
The numbers prove, however, that the EU is still a ways off from achieving its stated goal of energy security. By way of example, today Bulgaria imports 89 per cent of its natural gas needs from Russia; Slovakia 83 per cent; Greece 56 per cent; and Estonia 100 per cent.
Given this balance, the EU should reassess its energy policy with regard to natural gas imports, in relation to energy routes, quantities, costs and suppliers.
The United States, its confidence growing as a result of a surge in shale oil and gas production from fracking, is pressing the EU to wean itself off Russian natural gas in order to isolate Russia.
The EU, however, recognizing that its short-term options for replenishing its energy needs are limited, has justifiably opted for a more moderate stance toward Russia.
While the energy crisis between the Ukraine and Russia over price rows and outstanding payments is in full swing, the interruption of natural gas supplies to the Ukraine – and to Europe by extension – remains a clear and present danger.
Under the circumstances, what preventative steps can the EU take to mitigate the risks?
One step could be to continue operating the nuclear power plants which Germany has promised to shut down by 2022. Another would be to use coal for electricity generation, as well as broadening the use of renewable energy sources.
Lifting inter-state restrictions on the transport of electrical power could also cover any extra electricity needs that may arise. Then there are energy-saving measures, such as encouraging people to modify their consumption behaviours, and incentives to limit electricity usage during peak hours.
Releasing strategic natural gas reserves can also plug any holes, as can an increase in imports of liquefied natural gas at receiving terminals. Yet the anticipated drop in global natural gas prices is likely to prove the toughest test of the EU’s resolve in applying the lessons learned in the past.

The night that rocked the CBI headquarters: A step-by-step account
Before the police broke the quiet at midnight, a series of hectic events culminated in a coup at CBI.
Before the Delhi Police broke the quiet at Lodhi Road building on Tuesday night, a series of hectic events in the nearby Lutyens Delhi since afternoon culminated in a coup at India's premier investigating agency where its No. 1 Alok Verma and No. 2 Rakesh Asthana had been at each other's throat for several months. A few days ago, Verma had ordered an FIR against Asthana who then moved court for protection from arrest. An official who worked with Asthana was arrested.
The midnight high drama had its origin in a flurry of meetings held by a watchdog, a cabinet panel and ministry bureaucrats in quick succession. Members of the Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) met in the afternoon to consider the goings-on at the CBI. After the meeting, the CVC informed the government that corruption allegations levelled by Asthana against CBI head Verma were serious and Verma was not cooperating with the CVC, says a TOI report. It recommended that Verma and Asthana be divested of all powers and an independent team probe the allegations levelled by Asthana against Verma.
The CVC recommendations would echo hours later at the 10th and 11th floors of the Lodhi Road building, the top floors reserved for the CBI head honchos. The Appointment Committee of the Cabinet met to ratify the CVC recommendation after which the Department of Personnel and Training issued orders sending Verma and Asthana on leave. The orders were delivered to both the officers at home by special messengers around midnight.
That's when the Delhi Police cordoned off the Lodhi Road building. Escorted by a Delhi Police convoy, the newly appointed interim head, M Nageswar Rao, reached the building immediately. He quickly made for the top floors from where senior officials of the CBI work. After taking charge as the CBI head, Rao sealed off the offices of both Verma and Asthana on the 11th floor. Then he took custody of the offices on the 10th floor.
According to an Indian Express report, Rao found a lot of "works-in-progress" in Verma's office. The documents found on Verma's desk related to a Rafale deal complaint, the Medical Council of India bribery case, the coal mine allocation case allegedly involving IAS officer Bhaskar Khulbe, and an investigation into the Sterling Biotech case in which Special Director Rakesh Asthana’s alleged role is being probed. Though it was past midnight, Rao's day had just started. He wasted no time in moving on to the next step — shuffling 13 officers and changing investigating officers in several cases. While joint director (policy) A K Sharma, who had sided with Verma in the whole feud, was shifted as Joint Director MDMA (multi-disciplinary monitoring agency, which is looking to Rajiv Gandhi assassination), DIG Manoj Kumar Sinha was shunted out to Nagpur, and investigating officer – DSP Ajay Kumar Bassi to Port Blair, according to a TOI report.
In the morning, Verma and Asthana were barred from entering the building, according to a report. Their drivers too were withdrawn. Verma moved the Supreme Court a few hours later terming his benching illegal. The search on the 10th and 11th floors continued till afternoon.

As you’ve learnt, seeds are essential for our future. Scientists at the Australian PlantBank are saving seeds right now. Let’s see what they have learnt about seeds and how you too can save seeds.
Seeds like specific temperature, moisture and light conditions to germinate.
This is to ensure that they begin to grow when temperatures are not too harsh and yet rainfall is sufficient to keep the tiny seedlings alive. If moisture, appropriate temperature and light conditions are provided, but a seed still does not germinate, then two things may have happened - the seed is not viable or perhaps the seed is dormant (asleep).
Why can some seeds tolerate being dried and not others?
Desiccation (dryness) sensitivity in seeds occurs as a response to the environment a seed is living in. Seeds that come from wet environments (e.g. rainforests) don't like to be dry, while seeds from dry or cold environments (e.g. deserts) don’t mind dryness. This makes sense as all plants need some water to grow and if water is not available when seeds are mature in the desert, then seedlings would not survive. Being able to survive in a dry state until water is available, ensures seeds live to become plants. This could take years in some cases.
However, seeds found in wet humid environments are not going to survive very long on the forest floor before they get consumed by animals or rot in the wet soil, so it’s important that they germinate quickly when the conditions are right.
What exactly is Cryopreservation and how does it work?
Cryopreservation is the cold storage of living material such as seeds in liquid nitrogen at around -196° C. Although the material is still alive, all cellular activity has stopped which leaves the tissue ‘frozen in time.’ Seeds, buds, shoots and even pollen can be successfully cryopreserved. Seeds stored this way are quite safe as they are protected from contamination by pests and diseases. See the process that our scientists use in the videos below.
Now it’s time to collect your own seeds to sort and store for the future. If you can seed save like a scientist, then you will always have seeds to grow your own food, fibre and more!
When seed saving, there are two main methods: wet and dry. View the slideshow below to follow the step by step methods for seed saving.

NET Premiere - 3/18/92, Perth
Bucky Baxter joins the band as '92 kicks off with an extensive tour of Australia. Dylan provides an amazing 4 NET premieres at the Perth show, three of them covers and two of them (including Dolly Dagger) career one-offs.
"Dolly Dagger" is a bold choice for Dylan to cover and interesting to hear, but in the end Hendrix covering Dylan works better than the other way around.
No online link available, to my knowledge.

NET Premiere - 3/18/92, Perth
Directly after the live premiere of "Cat's In the Well" (which would get nearly 300 NET performances), Dylan one-offs this traditional that would later appear on "Good As I Been To You". It was acoustic there, it was done electric in Perth. And yes, Dylan never performed the song live after its release.

Another Dylan favorite, Doc Watson: Little Maggie by Doc Watson »
"West L.A. Fadeaway"
NET Premiere - 3/18/92, Perth
On July 12, 1987, at the third Dylan & The Dead show, Dylan joined The Dead in the encore for "Touch of Grey" from their "In The Dark" album.
(Grateful Dead 7-12-87 Giants Stadium East Rutherford NJ » - go to 3:00;20)
About 5 years later, Dylan breaks out another "In The Dark" track, which would get 10 NET outings all told (happy to say I saw 2 of the 10 in person).
Here's the last of the 10, featuring Phil Lesh joining in on bass (with another prominent NET cover, "Not Fade Away" as a bonus).
During the 2003 "Summer Getaway" tour that saw the surviving "Core 4" of The Grateful Dead reform as simply "The Dead", their high profile opening acts would join them on stage for a couple of numbers each night. Dylan filled that slot for a number of shows, and "West L.A. Fadeaway" was one of the songs performed. The entirety of this tour was issued on limited edition CDs, but alas, Dylan's performances were excluded (rendering the CDs of the shows he appeared at incomplete, and close to useless).
In a short while we'll be getting to yet another "In The Dark" track - Dylan covering "Black Muddy River". Dylan, clearly, was a "Touch Head".
NET Premiere - 3/21/92, Adelaide
Dylan dabbled with this song during rehearsals for Rolling Thunder '75 (included in "Renaldo & Clara"), and mentioned in an interview that he had performed it back in his days at Gerde's Folk City. After this performance, it quickly became a regular inclusion in NET set lists, getting nearly 100 plays in '92-'93.
Audio of an unidentified performance:
If you prefer video, you can opt for this post from earlier in the thread: Bob Dylan: Never-Ending Covers (Cover By Cover) »
No doubt about the influential version here, as Dylan identified it as a Carter Family song in interview.
Carter Family version: little moses original carter family »
Great thread idea! You're about to get to my favorite one methinks: "Female Ramblin Sailor." (I like the 4/5/92 version in particular.)
As predicted ...
"Female Rambling Sailor"
NET Premiere - 3/21/92, Adelaide
Dylan wound up performing this traditional 6 times, all in 1992. Unfortunately no online link for a Dylan performance could be located.
I can't claim to have known much of anything about this song (apart from it being a traditional) before exploring the Internet. Of course it doesn't require any research to see how the song shares some thematic similarity (the female entering the male domain of the sailor) to "Canadee-i-o" (she dons a blue jacket in both songs) and "Jack-a-Roe" (she exhibits bravery beyond her male counterparts in both songs). The "Roots of Bob Dylan" web site suggests that Dylan learned the song directly from Sally Barker, who opened some shows for him in Germany in 1991 (Female Rambling Sailor (trad./Sally Barker) »).
Sally's version was released in 1992 on her album "Beating the Drum".
Although the song may have Irish or British origins, it definitely made its way to Australia, which appears to be the first place that a recorded version was collected in 1946. Here's that a capella performance by Jack McNally. This performance is not for the faint of heart, sound quality wise. (D30B - archival cassette dub : Free Download & Streaming : Internet Archive » on "Side A" at 6:40) The song's Australian pedigree may have been the inspiration for Dylan to give it a go in Adelaide.
Definitely one of my favorite NET covers.
Dylan played Spike Jones on Theme Time Radio Hour, and while I can't remember the comments he made, they were fairly positive, so there's a chance.
Episode 61: Countdown »
"Black Muddy River"
NET Premiere - 4/6/92, Melbourne
Dylan wound up performing this Grateful Dead tune just 3 times (all in 1992).
Dylan fakes his way through a good chunk of the song's lyrics, often repeating small passages that he remembers or doing the "I'm Not There" trick and imparting emotion to near-nonsense. IMO, it all works. He pulls off the song very nicely, and I would have been happy for this song to have made it into the regular rotation.

Norma Waterson does a lovely version of this song.
"Don't Let Your Deal Go Down"
NET Premiere - 4/13/92, Sydney
When a tape of this show arrived in my mailbox 24 years ago, back when the Internet was an itty bitty baby, this opening number left me a bit perplexed. It had the refrain (well, almost) from the Garcia-Hunter song "Deal", along with some other sometimes difficult to decipher lyrics. Could Dylan be faking his way through THAT much of a song? The answer, of course, turned out to be "no" - Dylan was simply performing the traditional song that had likely provided the inspiration for "Deal". Dylan performed the song 6 times, all in 1992.
The song dates back to at least 1925, when it was recorded by Charlie Poole & His North Carolina Ramblers: 1207 Charlie Poole - Don't Let Your Deal Go Down Blues »
It's possible that Dylan became aware of the song through Flatt & Scruggs:
A contemporary performance by Doc Watson: Doc Watson - 1991 - Don't Let Your Deal Go Down »
The song was apparently part of Dylan's repertoire back in 1961. Note that some versions of the song share a verse (more or less) with "Kingsport Town".
And lastly, "Deal", performed by The Grateful Dead: Grateful Dead - Deal (SMOKIN HOT) »
"Lady of Carlisle"
NET Premiere - 4/14/92, Sydney
The final encore the next night in Sydney, a career one-off, also (probably coincidentally) had a strong Grateful Dead connection. Robert Hunter & Jerry Garcia took this traditional and reworked it into "Lady With a Fan", which became a part of the suite "Terrapin Station".
Hunter's version of "Lady of Carlisle":
"Lady With a Fan" by The Grateful Dead: grateful dead - lady with a fan »
It's nearly certain that Dylan was aware of the song long before Hunter got to it, however.
A 1963 performance by Ian & Sylvia: Lady Of Carlisle »
This performance appeared on the "Four Strong Winds" album.
Apart from containing a cover of "Tomorrow is a Long Time", and songs also in Dylan's early repertoire ("Jesus Met the Women At the Well", "Poor Lazarus", "Every Night When the Sun Goes In"), there are THREE songs that Dylan covered during "The Basement Tapes" sessions - "Four Strong Winds", "Spanish is the Loving Tongue" and "Royal Canal" (aka "The Auld Triangle"). Guessing Dylan gave this one a few spins back in the day.
Muddying the waters a bit, perhaps, is the fact that "Don't Let Your Deal Go Down" and "Lady of Carlisle" were BOTH recorded by The New Lost City Ramblers (as was another NET cover, "When First Unto This Country").
Lady of Carlisle: The Lady of Carlisle »
Don't Let Your Deal Go Down: Don't Let Your Deal Go Down »
NET Premiere - 4/15/92, Sydney
Dylan's third night of four in Sydney, and the third NET premiere cover (this run also featured the live premieres of "If Not For You" and "Sally Sue Brown", and the unfortunate NET premiere of the mangled shadow of "Union Sundown"). This song was in Dylan's repertoire back in 1960, and was of course eventually recorded for "World Gone Wrong". There is one other pre-release 1992 version (L.A. 5-14), then one post-release performance at one of the Supper Club shows (which I was lucky enough to attend). The song was resurrected for 4 outings in 2000, and finally one in 2012 (below).

Dylan only performed this song twice (this show, and the next, at Dunkerque). The latter performance was included on "Tell Tale Signs".

"A Hazy Shade of Winter"
NET Premiere - 7/1/92, Reims, France
Dylan takes his third dip into the Paul Simon songbook ("The Boxer" on "Self Portrait", and "Homeward Bound" on the '91 NET). He opens the shows with it on 7/1 and 7/2, and then it is never heard from again.

If Bob ever gets tired of Sinatra covers, he should do an album of Paul Simon tunes.
It 's likely that Dylan heard it from Paul Brady as he was a member of The Johnstons.
I was at the Belfast show. A double header with Van Morrison. Given that it was a home town gig for Van, he came on after Bob. Many people were caught out - not me - and arrived late to the gig expecting that Dylan would be headlining.
"Around & Around"
NET Premiere - 7/10/92, Leysin, Switzerland
The one and only time Dylan covered this Chuck Berry classic (leaving him 417 performances behind The Grateful Dead).

That just topped my holy grail wishlist.
If I may veer a bit with something I suspect plenty of folks on this thread may know and/or find interesting. Singer-songwriter Steve Goodman, like Kris Kristofferson, was key to John Prine's ascendency to under-appreciated American treasure. In 1973, Goodman released an album called Somebody Else's Troubles. Several songwriting luminaries including Prine, David Bromberg, (pre-"Margaritaville") Jimmy Buffett, singer Maria Muldaur, and Bob Landy all contributed. Never heard of Bob Landy? Mr. Landy went by many names, including Jack Frost, Blind Boy Grunt, Lucky and Boo Wilbury as well as, cheekily, Robert Milkwood. According to Searching for a Gem, Landy sang harmony and played piano on the title track. Probably too much to ask but I'd love if Mr. Landy would plink some keys on the new John Prine duets album.
Now back to our regularly scheduled topic, already in progress.
I think Mr. Landy is buried pretty deep in that mix.
It's a bit surprising that Steve Goodman isn't on the long list of Dylan contemporaries covered on the NET.
This song reminds me of a quote from Mel Brooks regarding the difference between tragedy and comedy:
“Tragedy is when I cut my finger. Comedy is when you fall into an open sewer and die.”

NET Premiere - 9/8/92, Little Rock
Dylan welcomes to the stage "one of my heroes", Billy Lee Riley, who sings lead on his signature song
Some Dylan comments on Billy Lee and "Red Hot" from last year (Bob Mehr's Memphis Music Beat: Bob Dylan on Billy Lee Riley »):
But Dylan’s most heartfelt words were saved for Sun Records’ overlooked giant,Billy Lee Riley. Riley, who died in 2009 at age 75, is perhaps best known for his classic 1957 single, “Flyin’ Saucers Rock & Roll” — a rockabilly number inspired by the era’s U.F.O. mania — which birthed the name of his band, the Little Green Men. That year, Riley also released the equally memorable rave-up “Red Hot.” On Friday, Dylan spoke at great length of his first exposure to and eventual friendship with Riley. “He was a hero of mine,” said Dylan. “I’d heard ‘Red Hot.’ I must have been only 15 or 16 when I did, and it’s impressed me to this day. I never grow tired of listening to it.”
Despite a promising start, Riley’s commercial fate was sealed after Sun put its promotional efforts behind Jerry Lee Lewis’ “Great Balls of Fire” — a song Riley played guitar on — which zoomed up the charts and past “Red Hot.” “He would have been a bigger star but Jerry Lee came along,” noted Dylan. “And you know what happens when someone like that comes along. You just don’t stand a chance.
“So Billy became what is known in the industry — a condescending term, by the way — as a one-hit wonder. But sometimes, just sometimes, once in a while, a one-hit wonder can make a more powerful impact than a recording star who’s got 20 or 30 hits behind him. And Billy’s hit song was called ‘Red Hot,’ and it was red hot. It could blast you out of your skull and make you feel happy about it. Change your life.”
During his speech, Dylan recalled, somewhat wistfully, his latter-day friendship with Riley. “He was on a rockabilly festival nostalgia circuit, and we’d cross paths now and again. We’d always spend time together. … Never got tired of watching Billy Lee perform, either. We spent time together just talking and playing into the night.”
"Red Hot" also made an impression on The Beatles, who included it in their live repertoire: The Beatles - Red Hot (Full Version) - Live at the Star Club »
"I Can't Be Satisfied"
NET Premiere - 10/25/92, Providence
Back in the Fall of 1978, Dylan inserted Muddy Waters' "I'm Ready" (long before some advertising genius figured the song could sell E.D. medication) into the opening slot for a lengthy stretch of shows. Twenty-four years later, he does the same with Muddy's "I Can't Be Satisfied", which 9 outings in October/November in the opening slot.

Ace director Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Bollywood’s king of hearts Shah Rukh Khan might reunite after 14 years. Yes, you read that right. According to some reports, the actor and director recently met and discussed a project in which Shah Rukh might play the character of the veteran poet Sahir Ludhianvi.
As per a Mumbai Mirror report, Bhansali and SRK met last week to discuss the film and if all works out, the duo might collaborate on the film in 2018. The daily quoted a source saying, “Bhansali and SRK met last week and the filmmaker handed over the complete script of the biopic to SRK, telling him that he would like to direct him in 2018. There is a lot of poetry in the film and SRK has been reading Sahir’s ghazals and nazms.”
Their last outing as a director-actor duo was Devdas, which went on to become a cult classic. The film starred Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Madhuri Dixit Nene as leads as well. In fact, the film is considered to be one of the best works from the actor and the director. However, since then, the successful duo did not come together for any project.
The film, which is reportedly being called Gustakhiyaan, will follow Sahir’s relationship with poetess-novelist Amrita Pritam. The source further said, “Bhansali and SRK have been spending a lot of time together lately, discussing work and cinema.”
If this project gets finalised, this could be another masterpiece from this successful pairing of actor-director. Meanwhile, Shah Rukh is busy with promotions of Raees. The actor will also appear in Imtiaz Ali film with Anushka Sharma. On the other hand, the Bajirao Mastani director has started shooting for Padmavati, starring Shahid Kapoor, Deepika Padukone, and Ranveer Singh.

The devil is in the details 3
At 9:30 when BUSH makes his announcement, American Flight 77 is STILL ten minutes from its target, the Pentagon. BUSH'S Administration will later claim they had no way of knowing that the Pentagon might be a target, and they thought Flight 77 was headed to the White House, BUT the fact is that the plane has already flown South and past the White House no-fly zone, and is in fact tearing through the sky at 400 nauts.
At 9:35, this plane conducts another turn, 360 degrees over the Pentagon, all the while BEING tracked by radar, BUT the Pentagon is NOT evacuated, and there are STILL NO fast-movers from the Air Force in the sky over Alexandria and DC. Now the real kicker: a pilot (i.e. the scapegoat) BUSH'S Administration want us to believe was trained at a Florida puddle-jumper school for Piper Cubs and Cessnas, conducts a well-controlled downward spiral descending the last 7,000 feet in two-and-a-half minutes, brings the plane in so low and flat that it clips the electrical wires across the street from the Pentagon, and flies it with PINPOINT accuracy into the side of the building at 460 nauts.
When the theory about learning to fly this well at the puddle-jumper school began to lose ground, it was added that they (i.e. the scapegoats) received further training on a flight simulator. This is like saying you prepared your teenager for her first drive on I-40 at rush hour by buying her a video driving game ....

1994 Chevrolet Corvette Owners Manual – The Chevrolet Corvette, colloquially identified as the Vette or Chevy Corvette, is a in the past top engine, rear travel, two door, two passenger sports car constructed and promoted by Chevrolet throughout more than 60 several years of generation and six design decades with GM affirming during early 2019 an eighth age group Corvette in a rear mid engine design. Using its decades documented sequentially from C1-C8, the Corvette acts as Chevrolet’s halo vehicle and is widely noted for its performance and unique plastic material sometimes fiberglass or composite bodywork.
In relation to performance, the 1994 Chevy Corvette is a single of the world’s finest deals. A absence of refinement shows you get what you purchase, but as you get a great deal of older-college American citizen muscle mass, which should be more than adequate for most.
The manual-transmission models come with normal launch control, aiding them reach 60 miles per hour in 4.5 seconds, with the Z06 shaving that to 3.9 seconds and the ZR1 a scant 3.4 seconds. In spite of the obvious rate, the Corvette range deals with properly, as well, with sharp, communicative directing. Excellent braking systems are also par for the Corvette program.

The 1994 Chevy Corvette is available in hatchback coupe and convertible roadster body styles. The base Corvette and Grand Sport (GS) are available in each body styles, with each is shattered into 1LT, 2LT, 3LT and 4LT sub-trims. The greater-performance Z06 and ZR1 are coupe only, and are divided to their own sub-trims.
Whilst the exterior of the 1994 Chevy Corvette reductions as legendary a picture as ever, the interior’s fashion can feel a bit old. With a few different body types and a overall of several variations, the 1994 Chevy Corvette gives a powerful sports car proposal to a wide range of consumers.
The 1994 Chevy Corvette gives outstanding performance benefit, from the sports car base models to the supercar Z06 and ZR1. From base to ZR1, it’s challenging to fault the performance of any Corvette, particularly if you aspect in their relatively inexpensive.

With Henrik Lundqvist’s extension completed, Glen Sather is going to need to get very creative to supply the goaltender with the talent required for a legitimate Stanley Cup run.
Kreider’s blazing speed, dominant natural strength on the puck and assertive style of play is earning him significant attention in the Calder Trophy race.
Had John Tortorella allowed offensively-gifted players to express themselves — he might’ve lifted the Stanley Cup down The Canyon of Heroes and been universally loved by Rangers fans.
The Rangers’ lack of a cutting edge is essentially forcing general manager Glen Sather to make a move.
Hockey experts questioned whether aging icon Jaromir Jagr had anything left in the tank. Now, it’s Jagr who’s having the last laugh.
At 23, Michael Del Zotto has yet to make a significant leap forward in his development. Over the years, the Rangers have been exceedingly patient with him, yet he’s failed to harness his offensive upside.
Nash has not suited up for the Rangers since suffering a concussion in San Jose on October 8. The 29-year-old winger has skated for nine consecutive days.
The jury is still out on whether the Devils will contend for a playoff seed. Their depth will be tested against three loaded Pacific Division foes and the Metropolitan Division-leading Penguins.
Not every athlete who is given the privilege of playing in New York manages to soak it all in. That wasn’t the case of recently retired goaltender Marty Biron, who embraced every moment he had in the spotlight.
The Rangers sent a resounding message Wednesday night, not only to one of the best teams in the NHL, but also to their own general manager, Glen Sather: Leave us be. We’ll get it.
Perhaps a package of Girardi, Miller, a minor-league forward and a combination of draft picks could be enough to sway MacTavish into parting with Yakupov.
To come away with a victory over the mighty Pens, the Rangers must figure out how to add more of a cutting edge to their offensive game that was lacking against Anaheim.
Ever since his October 20 recall, Chris Kreider has been the Rangers’ most effective player on a nightly basis.
While Hagelin’s inevitable Tuesday return will give the Rangers a significant lift, it’s clear that every man inside the locker room must accept their share of burden for the Rangers’ underwhelming 3-7-0 start.
Magic tends to happen when the 31-year-old Swede takes his customary place between the pipes at The World’s Most Famous Arena.

Texture-based Error Analysis for Image Super-Resolution
Proceedings of the IEEE/CVF Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition ("Proceedings of the IEEE/CVF Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition"), 2022.
Evaluation practices for image super-resolution (SR) use a single-value metric, the PSNR or SSIM, to determine model performance. This provides little insight into the source of errors and model behavior. Therefore, it is beneficial to move beyond the conventional approach and reconceptualize evaluation with interpretability as our main priority. We focus on a thorough error analysis from a variety of perspectives. Our key contribution is to leverage a texture classifier, which enables us to assign patches with semantic labels, to identify the source of SR errors both globally and locally. We then use this to determine (a) the semantic alignment of SR datasets, (b) how SR models perform on each label, (c) to what extent high-resolution (HR) and SR patches semantically correspond, and more. Through these different angles, we are able to highlight potential pitfalls and blindspots. Our overall investigation highlights numerous unexpected insights. We hope this work serves as an initial step for debugging blackbox SR networks.


OutDaughtered star Adam Busby said that the kids can swim now as they visit their Nana in Louisiana. Of course, fans know the family has their own pool. So what’s wrong with it? Summer without a pool probably sounds very bleak for the quints who swim like fish. Perhaps they vacation elsewhere this summer until the pool’s all repaired.
OutDaughtered star Adam Busby takes the kids to Louisiana
Summer means vacations for the quints. Actually, someone commented on a post by Danielle this weekend, that they took more vacations than she did in her 59 years of life. Well, Adam explained in the past that they work hard for their money. Plus, some fans think that TLC helps with the costs for the ones they film for new seasons. This year, they already took a trip to Splashway Water Park. However, they spent time at home as well when the kids went to their summer camps.
OutDaughtered star Adam Busby posted about their latest trip away to Lake Charles. If you don’t know, he and Danielle came from Lake Charles and they have family there. So, a visit there seems perfectly reasonable this summer. When he shared about the kids swimming there, he said, “Our pool isn’t quite ready, but that’s ok! We made it to Lake Charles and Nana has a bubble machine by hers!” Actually, one photo revealed Riley swimming with an injury on her arm. However, it turned out to just be a bit of fun with a tattoo.
Fans ask about the pool at home
OutDaughtered fans know that TLC star Adam Busby has a really nice pool at home. So, one fan asked about it. They commented, “What have I missed…I thought you had a great pool? Well, Adam took the time and replied, saying that it needed resurfacing and more. He noted that when they moved in, the pool was in “bad shape.” As the plaster deteriorated, he worries about “leaks.” Actually, he mentioned they budgeted for it some years ago.
Apart from that, OutDaughtered star Adam Busby said they noticed the pebble patio burned the kids’ feet. So, they also lay a “cool deck.”
All Florida Pools recommends resurfacing your pool if “you see a great deal of damage on the pool’s bottom and walls.” Apart from leaks and other problems, eventually, the water can look dirty and unsightly, so it’s best to do it sooner rather than later.
What do you think of pool work done now to prevent leakage in the future? Do you agree it’s a bit unfortunate the work is done in summer? Sound off in the comments below.
Remember to check back with us often for more news from OutDaughtered star Adam Busby on TLC.

Sportsfriends is built on the simple premise that you don’t need to play video games to have a good time with them. And in that regard, it succeeds. It is an absolute blast to play regardless of innate or earned skill level with a controller because it reduces everything down to its basest form. From input to strategy, it allows depth without complication. Just be sure to have some friends on hand to help.
Sportsfriends is actually a compilation of four different local multiplayer games with the gestalt release funded through Kickstarter from back in December of 2012. Rounded up by Danish indie collective Die Gute Fabrik, it includes their own Johann Sebastian Joust, Noah Sasso’s BaraBariBall, Bennet Foddy’s Super Pole Riders, and Ramiro Corbetta’s Hokra. Tied by a single thematic thread, they all focus on the idea of face-to-face competition. The most obvious (and the headliner) takes the face-to-face part quite seriously.
Johann Sebastian Joust
What is there left to say about Johann Sebastian Joust? You’ve been hearing about it since forever and probably even played it at a PAX or E3. It’s well known for one as being a video game with absolutely zero visuals given or needed through any electronics. It’s also well known for being one hell of a good time.
Between two and seven players hold either DualShock 3, DualShock 4, or PlayStation Move controllers and attempt to, for the most part, not move. Or at least that’s how you stay in the game. To win, you’ll have to knock other players out, which requires you to push, pull, trick, intimidate, and psychologically abuse everyone else. You see, the controllers are there to monitor your movement, and based on the tempo of the music being played (Johann Sebastian Bach’s Brandenburg concertos), you are permitted a certain leeway to your ambulations.
Move too fast, and your controller will go off and you’re out of the game. It’s a brilliant setup to get video game fans and non-gamers alike playing a video game while moving about. It’s definitely a throwback to the idea of folk games where there are minimal rules and the indeterminate interactions between players are the real game. Playing JS Joust is an endeavor to strengthen your cheeks because you will never not be smiling. Seeing your six-foot-five friend run like a child from an actual child is just natural beauty in motion.
And while it’s still fun play one on one, the game excels in a mass of at least four players. That way subterfuge can still play out without the target fully aware, or at least not able to fully anticipate and defend from it. It also opens the floor to the most chaos, which is inherently the most exciting part to human interactions.
Hokra is perhaps the sole weak point of the Sportsfriends collection simply because it absolutely requires four players. In it, you assume the role of one of four squares split between two teams. The goal is to fill up your own blocks with color by keeping a ball within your opponents’ blocks. By bouncing and throwing both the ball and your opponents around, you control the game.
It’s very simple but incredibly intuitive. Even those that have never played a game before understand the idea of maintaining both possession and territory to win, especially because the criterion for victory is so highly visible. The problem is that because it’s so simple with little to no randomness or integration for interactions outside of its predefined framework, it becomes a tiring exercise rather quickly.
Chasing after the ball and moving to keep yourself between the ball and an opponent happens over and over again, but your movements are so deliberate and tepidly slow that you can generate a mental model of every possible outcome long before it actually plays out. And then you lead into predicting the entire outcome of a match soon after. Hokra is a fun excursion, but not one I’d revisit very often. That way, all those predictive models stay fresh rather than tired.
Having first played it nearly two years ago at an indie dev house party during Fantastic Arcade, expectations for BaraBariBall were already in place. It is once again a very simple game: you have to get a ball to the bottom of one half of a watery pit without throwing yourself in as well. Dunks in are worth a point but suicides at the bottom of the abyss take away a point and you need to get those points to win.
Between the three different characters, you can run, jump, punch, kick, and special attack the ball and opponents alike. The progression of players is always interesting to watch here because it starts out so simple. Get the ball, throw it to the bottom, and defend it as it lazily heads down. But then they start to learn the limits of their character, including multi-jumps and recovery times and the like. And they start to employ strategies to maximize those limitations, first their own and then others.
It’s fascinating because very quickly everyone comes up to the same level of understanding of the game. BaraBariBall is so good at teaching through consequences because both the positive and negative outcomes of any remarkable action are immediately recognizable in a score increase or decrease. It succinctly ingrains what is bad and what is good and encourages players to do good while forcing opponents to do bad. Not only that, but it easily throws those tactics into camps of solo and cooperative strategies without so much as a word. BaraBariBall is something worth playing anytime you have even just one friend over.
Super Pole Riders
While the most overtly sports-oriented, Super Pole Riders is also somehow the strangest of the quartet. It features goals, a ball, and even pole vaulters, but in combining all of that, it comes out to be a fantastically strange, deep, and altogether entertaining competitive affair.
In it, you compete either solo or with a buddy to smash a ball that traverses back and forth on a rope from one end of the screen to the other. Once you get the ball into the opposing goal, you get a point. The catch is that the ball is something like 15 feet off the ground and the only way you can either get up there or otherwise manipulate it is to use a pole, vaulting, whacking, and kicking your way to victory.
It’s an incredibly foreign sensation at first, what with the flaccid, floppy nature of the pole making it hard to maneuver or predict but also how it impacts your vaulting. But very quickly, it all becomes natural (or as natural as it could be, which is still not very, but at least the input cause-effect chain is easily absorbed). From toppling over from one side to the other or getting that extra bit of air in launching yourself or the ball across the screen, the game is wide open to your abuse of its physics, which makes both precision strikes and happy accidents (and disastrous attempts) all the more fun to see unfold.
Super Pole Riders undeniably requires the most effort of any of the Sportsfriends games, but it also feels the most earned of any victory. Learning the nuances of both the interactions as well as the strategies combine to become a prideful win. Hokra is too predictable and BaraBariBall is a bit systemic (and JS Joust is just too crazy), but Super Pole Riders hits that magnificent blend of known, unknown, and shenanigans.
With the assumption that you have friends, Sportsfriends is an easy recommendation to make. Across the four games it contains, you have such an incredible and diverse set of experiences to share with your buddies. Push and shove in the game as you push and shove on the couch, or clear it all out and make room for objective-based physical abuse with Johann Sebastian Joust. They offer a simplicity that makes it accessible to anyone but they contain the educated design of much more complex games so as to keep you entertained. Definitely get in on this Sportsfriends action.

The evocative space of an old drying room plays host to exhibits that exemplify the local farming culture, patiently and lovingly collected by the Collalto family and by Barbara Emo Capodilista. In a large room that smells of wood, we have displayed a precious collection of tools and means of transport that reconstructs the cyclic nature of work in the fields during the course of the year. Typical rural expressions and proverbs on the walls illustrate a past made up of gentle rhythms, of inherited traditions, and of seasonal occurences. A visit to the Museum provides a fascinating insight into the history, lives, manual skills and brilliance of our ancestors. It is ideal for children, so that they can get to know the history of farming culture, as well as for adults, so that they can remember the tenaciousness and perseverance that are necessary for working on the land.
During the Great War, one of the estate’s buildings at Mandre was requisitioned by the army and, from January 1916 until October 1917, became the training school for the corps of the King’s Bombardiers. In those same rooms, we have – in collaboration with the Santa Lucia di Piave town council – set up a Museum that presents the training, activities and life of the artillerymen who spent time there, as well as the fate of the surrounding area, caught up in the conflict. Materials, furnishings, photographs and utensils of the time succeed, thanks to the captivating display, in keeping alive memories and empathy towards the men and women who, only a hundred years ago, faced a period of enormous difficulty and change.

Objective: To compare head computed tomography (CT) triggers for paediatric head injury as reported by senior paediatric emergency physicians in Australia and New Zealand with triggers in published evidence-based clinical decision rules (CDRs).
Methods: A survey of CT triggers after head injury was distributed to senior emergency physicians at PREDICT (Paediatric Research in Emergency Departments International Collaborative) sites in Australia and New Zealand. Results were compared with recommendations for CT scans in CATCH, CHALICE and PECARN CDRs. Clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) from each site were also reviewed.
Results: The response rate was 93% (130/140). No published trigger for head CT was identified by 100% of survey participants and each CDR included several triggers not identified by many respondents. Abnormal examination findings, including depressed skull fracture and base of skull fracture, were most likely to prompt respondents to order a head CT (>90%). A concerning mechanism of injury, such as a fall greater than 3 feet or five stairs, triggered a CT response only in approximately 10% of respondents. Eight different head injury CPGs were used across the 13 PREDICT sites. These were highly variable between sites and CPGs were not explicitly based on published CDRs.
Conclusion: High-quality, published CDRs exist for head CT use after paediatric head injury. Physician-reported CT triggers differ from CDR-recommended triggers. The major published head injury CDRs should be prospectively validated in the Australasian setting before incorporating them into local practice and CPGs.

Workers File Class Action Suit Against Walmart
By aaroncynic in News on Oct 24, 2012 8:20PM
A federal class action lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court on Monday accuses Walmart and two of its staffing agencies of breaking minimum wage laws, Crain's Chicago Business reports. The lawsuit against Walmart, Labor Ready Midwest, Inc and QPS Employment Group alleges temporary workers were required to arrive early and stay late for work, work through breaks, and participate in training for which they weren’t paid. The suit claims the staffing agencies failed to provide Walmart workers with proper wage payment notices and other information about their employment.
Twanda Burk, a plaintiff in the lawsuit, said in a press release “I only get paid minimum wage and Labor Ready and Walmart still try to cheat me by not paying me for the time I actually work.” The release also says Walmart failed to keep accurate records regarding time put in by workers.
A spokesperson for Walmart told the Huffington Post the complaint was still being reviewed, but based on the press release, the “litigation is being driven by the same union organizations that have been mischaracterizing several issues about Walmart and are more concerned with creating publicity than with improving workers rights.” Earlier this month, workers at a Walmart distribution center in Elwood, Illinois ended a strike after the Walmart contractor RoadLink suspended them for demanding better hours and a living wage.
In addition to the lawsuit and strike in Elwood, Ill., Walmart has faced several walkouts across the country for their labor practices. A group called OUR Walmart, which is backed by the United Food & Commercial Workers International Union, helped organize a first-ever walkout in 28 stores across the country earlier this month. The group has said they will organize another walkout on Black Friday this year.
