Zac Efron is said to be looking for a mid-seven-figure salary and script approval before signing a contract with the filmmakers.
"There's a lot of wrong ways to do this movie," the Daily Telegraph quoted Efron as telling Variety magazine. "It's a matter of finding the right balance. Until we find it, I can't fully ..." he paused trying to find a word. "... I can't finish that sentence," he said abruptly. As the conversation moved on to the next topic, he finally finds the word. "Commit. Until I fully commit," he stated.
Even though Efron at times may say what he wants, he somehow seems to catch himself and revert back to his script. But Ortega is confident that the actor will do very well with the new role.
"Its like life imitating the movies - suddenly (the cast) has come of age as young people. The light of the future is shining brightly into their eyes, begging them to make decisions that will impact on the rest of their lives," Ortega said.
"I see the characters and the actors as having arrived in the same place at the same time.
"But I have great confidence in them, their families and the teams they have around them, that they're going to make good choices. They are all wise beyond their years. They have a sense of humour. They're sensible, humbled by the attention. They're going to do good," he added.

GOSSIP GIRL star CHACE CRAWFORD has sparked rumours he is set to make his London stage debut - after meeting with producers at one of the city's most prestigious theatres.
The actor is said to be keen take on a role in an upcoming production and was recently photographed in central London meeting with bosses at the city's Donmar Warehouse.
A string of well-known stars have used the stage at the North London venue to test their acting mettle, including Gwyneth Paltrow and Nicole Kidman, who famously stripped off for her role in Sam Mendes' production of The Blue Room

Justin Bruening
What kind of a driver is Justin Bruening, star of the new ''Knight Rider''? ''A [darn] good one,'' he says quickly. He'd have to be. The stunt-filled action series (7 p.m. Wednesdays, NBC) has Bruening as secret agent Michael Traceur, who is behind the wheel of the world's most sophisticated automobile, KITT. A stunt driver has been teaching Bruening, primarily a soap opera actor until now, how to handle the show's vehicle for weeks.
''I'm learning a 'reverse 180,' how to fly the car into camera without hitting any folks,'' he says. ''It's really nerve-racking. ''It's not that I am not comfortable behind the wheel. It's the fact that 30 people are standing behind the camera and I have to slide the car to a certain point in the stunt so I don't hurt them.''
His stunt mentor can come within 2 inches of the crew, Bruening brags. The actor, though, admits he's not quite that good yet. But ''I want to be good enough to handle a car that well,'' he says. Of course, Bruening says he has some bad driving habits to break along the way. He listens to Metallica and other rock bands ''full blast'' as he's cruising down the highway with his wife, actress Alexa Havins, sitting next to him. But he says he's rarely been in trouble over his driving.
''I haven't had a speeding ticket since I was in college,'' he says, ''and even then I was in a speed trap.'' The 29-year-old Bruening hasn't always been in such a rush. Growing up in Nebraska, he says he's always had a yearning to stretch himself but never knew what to do about it.
''I had about 10 different majors in college but none of them seemed to fit,'' he says. Once he got into acting, his life went full-throttle. He landed a role on ABC's ''All My Children,'' where he met his wife. After leaving the soap four years later, he tried out for prime-time parts.
He landed ''Knight Rider'' through an audition. The series has been a clear hit for NBC and was recently picked up for the entire season. Fight stunts, Bruening can handle. Commanding his TV Mustang is another matter altogether. He's even taking his work home with him. ''I'm really into my video games,'' he says.
His favorite? '''Grand Theft Auto IV,''' he says with a laugh. ''It lets me work out my aggression of KITT.''

The last we saw, Dean was in Hell, strapped down by some very uncomfortable-looking chains.
In the opening moments of season four, we witness Dean's escape as he quite literally emerges from beneath the ground to rejoin the world of the living.
The mystery: Who helped drag him up from the pit of Hell, leaving mysterious hand prints burnt into his torso?
Season 4 is currently being shown in the US and will be shown on ITV in the UK from January 2009 (Date yet to be confirmed)

Britannia High
IT'S cheese on toast with extra cheese on top, but I rather like the high energy song and dance routines of Britannia High.
What irritates me is that it treats its young audience as if they're as stupid as the characters. It was obvious from the start that Danny (pretty boy Mitch Hewer) couldn't read, but the storyline was so drawn-out as we laboured towards the surprise revelation.
This ITV1 series also encourages the X Factor generation of kids who think they don't have to work for a living. It makes Hollyoaks, which at least features a plumber, look gritty.

Tennis player Andy Roddick has backtracked on a deal to give tennis lesson in the buff after a woman bid 11,200 dollars for the chance at a charity auction.
The offer from Roddick was auctioned off at one of Sir Elton John's AIDS Foundation fundraisers earlier this year.
However, Roddick has backtracked over the naked training, insisting it was just a joke. "First and foremost, I am not going to be playing naked tennis. It was said in jest and the lady who bid was really cool afterwards," Contactmusic quoted him, as saying.

Considering everything he's done since he released FutureSex/LoveSound two years ago, it's easy to forget that Justin Timberlake is a pop star first and foremost. From "Dick in a Box" to Shrek the Third, Black Snake Moan and Alpha Dog, to his three restaurants, his William Rast designer label and his relationship with Jessica Biel, well, it almost seems that just being JT is enough to keep him busy.
From an undetermined source comes "Magic," a brand new (we think) track from Timberlake that is shockingly not the work of his mentor, Timbaland. Instead, those responsible are the next wave, shall we say, of uber-slick pop producers, the Norwegian team that's so unfortunately named Stargate (yeah, for reals). Known best for penning hits by Beyoncé ("Irreplaceable"), Ne-Yo ("So Sick"), Chris Brown ("With You") and Rihanna ("Take A Bow"), looking at Stargate's discography is not only eye-opening for what they've already done (Blue's "One Love"!), but for what they've done that's set to come out: R. Kelly's12 Play: Fourth Quarter, Rihanna's next album.
I like "Magic." It's not exactly "My Love" but I think moving on from Timbaland — something I'm certain isn't a complete emancipation — is a smart move for JT to find some new ground. He doesn't receive a complete makeover from Stargate, in fact, it's pretty Timbaland-ish, what with the funk guitar, farting synth slides, chopped vocal tricks, Jacko-obsessed bass riff and whip-cracking beats. But we don't get Timba's imposing guest appearance and that's important (at least to me), and perhaps more than ever, JT taps into Stevie Wonder's soul with a brief indulgence in electric piano and layered harmonies (see the 2:10 mark). Perhaps he is stepping on Robin Thicke's toes a little but let's face it, he gave this generation's white boys the opportunity to make music like this palatable.
As he sings, "Everything ain't what it seems," I do begin to wonder: what exactly is this? Where did it come from? Is it new or is it simply a FutureSex/LoveSoundthrowaway recovered from a dumpster somewhere? And most importantly, should we get our hopes up that this is a sign that Justin Timberlake's Third Studio Album will be with us sooner than we expected? Actually, most important is: whenever it comes out, will it be better than that tripe (i.e. "Four Minutes") he sold to Madonna?

The beef between Joel Embiid and Russell Westbrook was not squashed
[jwplayer 6QwJImKA-z6KDnl0B]
A.J. Mason
February 18, 2019 6:16 pm ET
With All-Star Weekend officially in the books, we now know that Team LeBron defeated Team Giannis on Sunday night, 178-164.
And at this point, based on what we've seen, it's fair to say we know something else: Russell Westbrook and Joel Embiid do not seem to have squashed their beef.
During media availability on Saturday, Embiid let it be known that he was willing to make peace with Westbrook, but the former league MVP didn't seem to share the sentiment.
Those that were within close proximity to the two over the weekend didn't see any friendly interactions (and barely any interactions, at that), but it wasn't because Embiid wasn't being social. He attended a party with Stephen Curry on Saturday night and interacted with many of his fellow All-Stars. Just not Westbrook.
Writing for USA TODAY Sports Media Group's OKCThunderWire.com, our Cody Taylor recognized that Embiid and Westbrook didn't share the court for a single moment on Sunday night, and the two didn't even sit next to one another on the bench.
…[T]he two players did not share the court together.
Embiid checked out of the game in the first quarter with 6:46 left in the period while Westbrook checked in nearly two minutes later. Westbrook left the game with 8:58 to go in the second, as Embiid entered at that same time. From that point on, the two players would often check in and out of the game for each other, never playing at the same time.
At one point of the game, with Westbrook and Embiid on the bench, Thunder teammate Paul George was seen sitting in between the two players.
We also came across a clip that shows Embiid breaking up some friendly jousting between Westbrook and Kevin Durant.
As soon as Embiid makes his way over to the two, Westbrook makes a beeline out of the picture…. Probably because he didn't want to be forced into an interaction with the young Sixer.
Westbrook locks up Durant until Embiid comes over and spoils the fun pic.twitter.com/Q4w5mR2Nhq
— The Render (@TheRenderNBA) February 18, 2019
So, based on the circumstantial evidence, it appears that the beef between the two will live on.
That sets up an interesting confrontation.
The Sixers, who haven't beaten the Thunder in 11 years, will visit Westbrook and his team on February 28.
That's definitely must see TV.

Terror-Cotta to Release "Bloody Muscle Body Builder in Hell" AKA "The Japanese Evil Dead" on April 24th
On April 12, 2017 April 12, 2017 By Genki JasonIn Japanese Film Trailers.Leave a comment
It looks like over-the-top splatter fun and it lasts 62 minutes so the balance sounds about right when compared to the overly-long and incredibly gory splatter-fests released by Sushi-Typhoon (some of which I reviewed during a Summer of Splatter – that burnt me out in terms of Japanese horror films…).
Reviews for this one from horror aficionados such as Ken Wynne over at Attack from Planet B, are glowing:
"Bloody Muscle Body Builder in Hell meshes the SFX style of Nobuhiko Obayashi's cult horror Hausu (1977) with the comedy and splatter associated with Sam Raimi's The Evil Dead series."
It's well worth reading the rest of the review not least because it has more information on the director who runs his own movie site. Terror-cotta are really getting behind this one by including a lot of interesting extras such as two "behind-the-scenes" clips and a step-by-step look at the work of Graham Humphreys did in making the cover for this. He is a legendary horror movie poster/VHS cover illustrator (THE EVIL DEAD, A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET) and his work here hits the mark. There are also the original Japanese trailers, an extensive behind-the-scenes photo gallery and two 'making of' video clips.
The film will be released on April 24th and this will be the first time it is available on DVD with English subtitles.

Dick Cheney's daughters Mary and Liz in public war over gay marriage
Liz Cheney has openly criticised sibling's lifestyle while running for Republican office
Liz Cheney has openly criticised sibling's lifestyle while running for Republican office
Once crucial members of the close family unit he campaigned with, the daughters of former US Vice President Dick Cheney are now locked in a public feud over the issue of gay marriage.
Mary Cheney, who is gay, married her long-term partner Heather Poe in 2012; the couple have two children. Yet her sister, Liz Cheney, is running as a conservative Republican candidate for a US Senate seat in Wyoming, where their father was formerly a Congressman.
On Sunday, Liz Cheney, 47, told Fox News that she believed in the "traditional definition of marriage", and that same-sex marriage was "just an area where we [she and Mary] disagree". Ms Poe quickly took to Facebook to criticise her sister-in-law, writing: "Liz has been a guest in our home, has spent time and shared holidays with our children, and when Mary and I got married in 2012, she didn't hesitate to tell us how happy she was for us. To have her say she doesn't support our right to marry is offensive to say the least."
Mary Cheney, 44, later shared her wife's post on her own Facebook feed, adding: "Liz – this isn't just an issue on which we disagree – you're just wrong and on the wrong side of history."
The sisters, who appeared almost inseparable as they campaigned beside their father when he ran as George W Bush's running mate, have reportedly not spoken since August, when Liz Cheney said publicly that she was "not pro-gay marriage". At the time, Mary Cheney wrote on Facebook that she loved her sister, but thought she was "dead wrong".
In an email to The New York Times this week, Liz Cheney wrote: "I love my sister and her family and have always tried to be compassionate towards them. I believe that is the Christian way to behave."
The conflict is said to be painful for Mr Cheney, who is eager for his elder daughter to win a seat in the US Senate, but is also known for being further ahead than many in his party on gay marriage.
As long ago as the 2000 presidential campaign, he made clear that he personally disagreed with Bush over a constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage.
Mr Cheney and his wife, Lynne, are thought to be planning to celebrate Thanksgiving next week with Mary and Ms Poe, but Christmas with Liz in Wyoming. The couple released a statement on Monday, saying: "This is an issue we have dealt with privately for many years, and we are pained to see it become public. Since it has, one thing should be clear. Liz has always believed in the traditional definition of marriage."
The feud is also emblematic of cultural tensions within the Republican Party, which hopes to appease its increasingly conservative core membership. Liz Cheney moved to Wyoming from Virginia last year to run against the incumbent GOP Senator, Michael Enzi, on a conservative platform designed to appeal to Tea Party voters. Although the primary vote will not be held until August 2014, the campaign is already contentious. Ms Cheney has been accused not only of being insufficiently opposed to same-sex marriage, but also of being an interloper interested in the red state seat only to progress her political career.
Her first campaign TV advertisement, which debuted last week, highlights the Cheney family's Wyoming connections. Yet an early poll conducted last month by a conservative group, The American Principles Fund, showed Ms Cheney more than 50 points behind her rival.
"What amazes me is that she says she's running to be a new generation of leader. I'm not sure how sticking to the positions of the last 20 or 30 years is the best way to do that," Mary Cheney said, adding that the two could not reconcile until her sister altered those positions.
Last week, Hawaii became the 15th US state to legalise gay marriage, while the Governor of Illinois is expected to sign a bill this week, permitting same-sex couples to wed in his state.In October New Jersey saw its first same-sex weddings after its Republican Governor, Chris Christie, dropped his opposition to the change in legislation; Christie is presently considered the frontrunner for his party's 2016 presidential nomination.

The U.S. Treasury Department reversed a 2016 proposal to limit family-owned businesses' use of minority and marketability discounts when calculating the estate tax under Section 2704 of the Internal Revenue Code. SEMA joined with many other organizations in opposing the 2016 proposed rule. The regulation threatened to raise the estate tax for a family-owned business by 30% to 50%. The minority interest and marketability discounts recognize that family beneficiaries usually can't sell the inherited income at the valued rate when it is a family-controlled business.
For 2017, the lifetime exclusion against the federal estate tax is $5.49 million ($10.98 million for couples), with a maximum tax rate of 40%.


There are many different things you are looking for when you want to decorate your home. This is the space that has to reflect who you are and what you like, but it has to stick to a few features that will fit in the current trends. How hard do you think it is to make all these things come together in harmony? How hard will it be to find the best ideas?
There are many different blends you will find today, but not all of them lead to the success you intended them for. If you are looking for a certain image for your home, you have to focus on a few things that will work. For instance, how well do you think a contemporary wood stove will fit in your home? Do you even know how one looks like?
Many people are aware that traditional homes are usually built around the fireplace and they are the ones that old homes are focused on. They are big, they are imposing and they usually capture the attention of the people who you bring in your home. Usually a modern wood burning stove would be the same, but with a few modern features.
Would you like to have one of these things in your living room? Would you like to centre the entire design of your home on one element? If you want to bring out the best features of your home, the contemporary wood stove must not be the only element people look at. This has to be in tone with the rest of the house as well as the other items.
But how will you be able to find a modern wood burning stove that will fit your profile? How will you be able to bring out the best in your home while still having such a piece in the living room? You must not be stuck in the past and you have to keep an open mind if you are decorating your home. You would be surprised by what you can find.
The lines of the contemporary wood stove have to be simple and elegant so it will fit in any space with little effort. The colours you will turn to must not be flashy either. A neutral, natural colour is one of the best options you have at hand for it. The easier it is to miss when you look around, the more you will appreciate the way it has been made.
Adding value to the design of your home is not easy, but a modern wood burning stove can do a lot more than you can imagine. If you are looking for a design that will fit in your choices properly, you should take the time to learn as much as you can about your options before you commit. If you want to know what a stove like this looks like and how you can get your hands on one, the site of futurefires.co.uk will provide the answers you had in mind.
A contemporary wood stove (http://www.futurefires.co.uk) does not look like a traditional one at all. If you want to find the modern wood burning stove (http://www.futurefires.co.uk) that will fit in your home, you should turn to the site named before to find the solutions you had in mind for this.

Not just stories
As the production took one week off before getting ready for the first leg of our tour at 95 Empire in Providence, we have been keeping busy in various ways, most notably in our outreach efforts. Below, please find a contribution from performer Alejandra Rivera Flaviá about these inspiring ventures.
"People think these are stories. They're not. They're real," she said slowly. Although I could see it had taken her time to find the words, the message had been sharp in her eyes, in the universal language of human intention, since before she began to speak: I need you to understand.
She was from Rwanda, where her family continued to reside and suffer the realities of genocide, and she had approached me and my fellow cast member, Becky Bass, in the cafeteria of William D'Abate Elementary School on what, up until then, had seemed to be a not-so-special Tuesday. We were picking up after the Yermedea workshop we had just helped facilitate, in which we had explored the history of El Salvador through theatre with men and women of the English for Action program. Throughout the process, I was surprised to realize that she was not the only one who was moved to share her story. In fact, I was surprised (and surprised to be surprised) to see how much people were moved to begin with.
On the first exercise, the class was divided into groups of three, and each group was given a prompt that delineated an occurrence within the history of El Salvador; they were asked to create a tableau that represented the event. My group, composed of a young man in his mid-20s and a man and a woman who could have been in their late 50s, was given the prompt of "scorched earth," which was a strategy that the Salvadorian government employed in 1981, which consisted of destroying anything that could be useful to left-wing guerrillas. And what was the most useful asset to these revolutionaries? The support of the people. So by "destroying anything," I mean "destroying the people."
The small paper that my group was given described the atrocities associated with this tremendously cruel military policy, such as the burning of houses, the raping of women, and the murdering of an immense number of people. As soon as we finished reading it, I looked up to find the three students frozen. Feeling quite uncomfortable myself with the idea of embodying such a violent event, I initially chose to suppress my uneasiness for what I believed to be the sake of the exercise. "So, what ideas do you guys have concerning the prompt?" I asked. Silence. Faces stared at me blankly. Maybe they didn't understand. I needed to change my tactic. "Do you know what the word 'genocide' means in Spanish?" I continued. This time, there was no silence. The word "yes" emerged from their mouths, loud and sharp, almost before I could finish my question. I remember realizing how arrogant I must have seemed when asking that condescending question... See, I had arrived there with the understanding that I would need to help them cross a bridge from Spanish to English. As I have personally experienced from years of helping many adults to learn English, this bridge can often feel clunky and difficult to traverse, especially as we grow older, which is why the idea of a "language barrier" that prevents us from doing so has become such a popular image (as well as, unfortunately, an excuse to not try to understand). Despite of this barrier's presence in my group when it came to language such as "right wing," "felony," and "indictment," the second that I inquired if they needed help with the word "genocide," such a collective reaction was a quick mutual agreement between the four of us that we all knew exactly what that meant. Thus, when it came to human pain, there was no such thing as a language barrier.
One of the men raised his finger in a gesture that signaled that he would be right back and proceeded to go over to Francesca, the workshop's main facilitator, to explain the fact that these brutal events were close to his heart, making it difficult for him to perform the exercise. That was when I realized how counterintuitive it was of me to repress my own visceral reaction to the prompt. By doing so, I was inhibiting communication rather than fostering it, because—ultimately—that feeling of discomfort, that reluctance to mentally place ourselves within such a unbearable scene, that alliance with our weakness that allowed us the strength of accepting that we simply could not take it—that was the language we all shared. That was the language that would ensure that we would all indeed cross the bridge. And together.
I took a deep breath and said, "You know, I feel pretty uncomfortable doing this one. It's very painful, so I don't think we should do it directly." What a release that was for them, I could have never imagined. As soon as I acknowledged this, it felt as though the picture unfroze. They began breathing again, which made me realize that they had been holding their breath to a certain extent since they had read the paper. Now they nodded warmly, with sighs of relief, spoke to me as a fellow human being and not a distant intruder, and I felt as though I was finally part of the group.
We decided that, instead of making a tableau of the actual event, we would make one of the counteracting force to such atrocities: compassion. Without much help from me, they joyfully began playing with ideas until they quickly made a beautiful picture. The older man was on the floor, while the woman reached her hand out to him, offering her help. The younger man put his head and his hands on her shoulder. I was very compelled. I felt very human. My mother had once said to me, "You are, first and foremost, a creature of the earth, so if you ever feel lost or disconnected, take your shoes off, and walk in the grass." This time, working with the group, I didn't have to remove my boots. Looking at the image they created made me feel my feet on the ground. It reminded me of why we are doing Yermedea in the first place, of why someone like me—a young college girl whose closest experience with physical abuse was the occasional slap from the kindergarden bully—has the capacity and the right to represent the pain of those who have suffered crimes against humanity. It reminded me of the simple and majestic fact of human connection, and how it is ultimately the only "cure," if one may call it that, to genocide.
As a closing action, we all signed (with our fingerprints) a contract that validated our commitment to acknowledging, to remembering the fact that genocides have occurred and continue to occur throughout the world. As simple as this may have been, it made an impact. On something. Perhaps inside of us, perhaps not, but somewhere and somehow. You see, it's easy to feel small. It's easy to step out of rehearsal and emerge yourself in the bubble of what you consider to be your own world. It's easy to believe that there is nothing you can do for those whose plight you cannot see or understand, but the truth is that when it comes to the desire of making a difference (any difference), "your own world" is merely an illusion. The world belongs to us all, and because "le monde est petit," each thought looks pretty large in proportion to it. In fact, each thought is large to begin with. Kym Moore, our director, once told us as a cast, "I don't think you as actors are aware of how much exists in this world because of a tiny impulse you had that suddenly grew into a full blown moment that currently exists here in three dimensions." I don't think we as people on this planet are aware of that either.
So come see Yermedea even if you can't fly to El Salvador to rescue the women whose stories we want to tell you, vote in the national election even if you only think of yourself as one in 300,000,000 people, and keep making things happen by the sole act of existing. Because you are indeed making things happen. And if you ever feel lost or disconnected, take your shoes off and put your feet on the grass, or help facilitate a workshop, or recognize the impulses that inhabit your body in this very moment. Or simply remember that it's not true that you are disconnected at all, that your ability to think about what is happening to people throughout the world is in fact your connection to these people. Your thoughts are, just like the stories the people in our workshop needed to share... real.

Q: Database - Query failed when we try to insert I can't seem to get my Database to insert a customer...
It's in danish (the tags) but i think you can understand what happens anyways. We do connect to the database on the website, but it saids query failed...
Here's my contact form code:
<form action="elev.php" method="post">
        <fieldset>
        Navn:
        <input type="text" id="navn" name="navn" placeholder="Andreas Andreasen" />

                    Email:
        <input type="text" id="email" name="email" placeholder="Andreasandreasen@hotmail.com" />

                    Telefon:
        <input type="number" id="telefonnummer" name="telefonnummer" placeholder="12345678" />

    </form>
    <form action="index.php">
            <input style="float:left; margin-top:-51px;" type="submit" value="Startsiden">
    </form>

Here's my PHP code for the database:(my password is not xxxxx, that's just to protect the database :) but it does say "connect succes! so i believe that is not the problem.
The problem comes when we try to put in a new customer and it saids query failed, the customerid = kundeid is incremental so we do not have that on the form.
    <?php
$mysqli=mysqli_connect("localhost", "f413f_gr6", "xxxxxx", "f413f_gr6");
if (mysqli_connect_errno()) {
    echo "Failed to connect: " . mysqli_connect_errno(); }
else {
    echo "Connect success!
"; }

    function performQuery($sql) {
    global $mysqli;
    if (mysqli_query($mysqli, $sql)) {
    echo "Query Success!";      }
    else {
    echo "Query Failed!";       }
    }

    if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {

    $navn = $_POST['navn'];
    $email = $_POST['email'];
    $telefonnummer = $_POST['telefonnummer'];
    $postnummer = $_POST['postnummer'];

    performQuery("INSERT INTO kunder(navn, email, telefonnummer, postnummer) VALUES ('$navn', '$email', $telefonnummer, '$postnummer')");
    }
    else {
    echo "Tryk på submit";
     }
?>

And here's a picture of our database:
http://imgur.com/Evezrtm

A: I think issues in your query with postnummer is int data type as you shared database image so please replace your query with below query i will helps you.
performQuery("INSERT INTO kunder(navn, email, telefonnummer, postnummer) VALUES ('$navn', '$email', $telefonnummer, $postnummer)");

Replace your query with above i hope your issues will solve.your are trying to insert as string for postnummer may the reason you are getting error actually in your database datatype is int.

Archived: Final Research Plan: Colorectal Cancer: Screening
Final Research Plan
Colorectal Cancer: Screening
Recommendations made by the USPSTF are independent of the U.S. government. They should not be construed as an official position of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality or the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
The final Research Plan is used to guide a systematic review of the evidence by researchers at an Evidence-based Practice Center. The resulting Evidence Report will form the basis of the USPSTF Recommendation Statement on this topic.
The draft Research Plan was available for comment from January 9 until February 5, 2014 at 5:00 p.m., ET.
Analytic Framework
Abbreviations: CT = computed tomography; FIT = fecal immunochemical test; Flex Sig = flexible sigmoidoscopy; gFOBT = Guaiac fecal occult blood test; mSEPT9 = circulating methylated septin 9 DNA.
Key Questions to be Systematically Reviewed
What is the effectiveness (or comparative effectiveness) of screening programs based on any of the following screening tests (alone or in combination) in reducing a) incidence of and b) mortality from colorectal cancer?
Flexible sigmoidoscopy
Computed tomography (CT) colonography
Fecal screening tests:
Guaiac fecal occult blood test (gFOBT)
Fecal immunochemical test (FIT)
Fecal DNA test
Blood screening test:
Circulating methylated septin 9 DNA (mSEPT9)
What are the test performance characteristics (e.g., sensitivity and specificity) of the following screening tests (alone or in combination) for detecting a) colorectal cancer, b) advanced adenomas, and c) adenomatous polyps based on size?
CT colonography
High-sensitivity gFOBT
mSEPT9
a) What are the adverse effects (i.e., serious harms) of the different screening tests (either as a single application or in a screening program)?
b) Do adverse effects vary by important subpopulations (e.g., by age)?
Contextual Questions
Contextual questions will not be systematically reviewed and are not shown in the Analytic Framework.
What are the current rates of overall screening for colorectal cancer and screening with specific tests in the United States?
What is the adherence to testing for each of the currently available screening tests? What is the adherence to followup diagnostic colonoscopy for abnormal screening test results (i.e., fecal testing, flexible sigmoidoscopy, CT colonography)?
Do rates of screening or adherence to screening tests vary by important subpopulations (i.e., by age, sex, race/ethnicity)?
What is the likelihood of progression or regression of small adenomas (i.e., measuring 6 to 9 mm) to colorectal cancer?
Does the natural history (progression or regression) of adenomas vary by race/ethnicity?
What is the distribution of colorectal lesions (colorectal cancer, advanced adenomas, small adenomatous polyps) by location in the colon (e.g., proximal versus distal colon)?
Does the distribution of lesions in the colon vary by important subpopulations (i.e., by age, sex, race/ethnicity)?
Are there differences in adenoma (and advanced adenoma) prevalence or count by race/ethnicity?
The Research Approach identifies the study characteristics and criteria that the Evidence-based Practice Center will use to search for publications and to determine whether identified studies should be included or excluded from the Evidence Report. Criteria are overarching as well as specific to each of the key questions (KQs).
Populations Age ≥40 years, average-risk or unselected populations; screening populations (i.e., asymptomatic) Populations selected for personal or family history of colorectal cancer, known genetic susceptibility syndromes (e.g., Lynch syndrome, familial adenomatous polyposis), or personal history of inflammatory bowel disease; nonscreening populations (e.g., persons who are symptomatic, screen positive, have iron deficiency anemia, or are under surveillance for a previous colorectal lesion)
Settings Settings representative of community practice for flexible sigmoidoscopy and colonoscopy studies; developed countries (i.e., rated "very high" on the Human Development Index) Primarily research-based settings (or select academic settings that would not be applicable to most practice settings) for endoscopy studies (e.g., small studies aimed at evaluating new endoscopy technologies, studies with operator or resource characteristics not applicable to community practice); developing countries
Screening Tests KQ 1: Any program of colorectal screening, including endoscopy, imaging, and fecal or blood testing
KQs 2–3: Colonoscopy; flexible sigmoidoscopy; CT colonography; fecal screening tests, such as gFOBT (e.g., Hemoccult SENSA®), FIT (quantitative and qualitative testing), and fecal DNA test; blood screening tests (i.e., mSEPT9)
KQs 2–3: Hemoccult II (review of test performance and harms limited to high-sensitivity gFOBT); stool testing using in-office digital rectal examination; double contrast barium enema; capsule endoscopy (e.g., PillCam®); magnetic resonance colonography
Comparisons KQ 1: No screening or alternate screening strategy
KQ 2: Diagnostic accuracy studies that use colonoscopy as a reference standard
KQ 3: No comparator necessary
Outcomes KQ 1: Colorectal cancer incidence (by stage), interval colorectal cancer; colorectal cancer–specific or all-cause mortality
KQ 2: Test performance, including sensitivity and specificity (per person); positive and negative predictive value (per person); yield and miss rates (per lesion) for structural examinations (i.e., colonoscopy, flexible sigmoidoscopy, CT colonography)
For detection of colorectal cancer, advanced adenoma (high-grade dysplasia, villous histology, and/or measuring ≥10 mm), and/or adenomatous polyps by size (i.e., measuring ≤5 mm, 6–9 mm, ≥10 mm)
By location in colon (e.g., proximal versus distal)
KQ 3: Serious adverse events requiring unexpected or unwanted medical attention and/or resulting in death (e.g., requiring hospitalization), including but not limited to perforation, major bleeding, severe abdominal symptoms, and cardiovascular events; extra-colonic findings and subsequent diagnostic workup and adverse events from diagnostic testing for incidental findings on CT colonography; radiation exposure per CT colonography examination
KQ 1: Incidence of adenomas or advanced neoplasia (composite outcome of advanced adenomas and colorectal cancer)
KQ 3: Minor adverse events defined as those not necessarily needing or resulting in medical attention (e.g., patient dissatisfaction, anxiety/worry, minor gastrointestinal complaints)
Study Design Fair- to good-quality studies; studies published between January 1, 2008 and May 31, 2014 (bridge searches will be conducted as required to keep review current at time of publication)
KQ 1: Systematic reviews (of included study designs); randomized, controlled trials; selected well-designed controlled clinical trials; cohort studies; or case-control studies
KQ 2: Systematic reviews (of included study designs), trials, cohort or well-conducted nested case-control diagnostic accuracy studies, screening registry studies
KQ 3: Systematic reviews (of included study designs); randomized, controlled trials; controlled clinical trials; large screening registry or database observational studies; cohort studies; systematically selected case series
Poor-quality studies with a fatal flaw; studies with a publication date outside of review window
KQ 1: Decision analyses
KQ 2: Diagnostic accuracy studies without colonoscopy as a reference standard, diagnostic accuracy studies without representation of a full spectrum of disease (e.g., case-control studies, excluded indeterminate results)
Response to Public Comment
The draft Research Plan was posted for public comment on the USPSTF Web site from January 9 to February 5, 2014. In general, the public comments represent an intense interest in colorectal cancer screening. Based on the comments received, the USPSTF and the Evidence-based Practice Center decided to add contextual questions relevant to racial/ethnic disparities in colorectal cancer to determine if starting screening at an earlier age is important for particular subgroups.
Decision Model
The USPSTF has commissioned a decision model to supplement the systematic review of the evidence on colorectal cancer screening, as it did for the previous topic update in 2008. A decision model is a mathematical simulation that projects the health outcomes that result from alternative interventions for prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. For example, a decision model can describe the expected population health outcomes of a clinical preventive service over a lifetime horizon rather than the more limited range of years generally captured by clinical trials. Inputs into the decision model will include data from the systematic evidence review, which will provide the best available information on the linkages between screening and outcomes of interest. In conjunction with the systematic review of the evidence, the decision model will help the Task Force examine how the benefits and harms of colorectal cancer screening strategies may vary by the screening test chosen, different starting and stopping ages, and time interval between screening tests. In sensitivity analyses, the model will also investigate how individual patient factors—such as comorbid conditions and adherence with recommended screening, diagnostic followup, and surveillance strategies—may affect the benefits and harms of different colorectal cancer screening approaches.
For more information about how the USPSTF uses decision models in formulating its recommendations, please refer to the USPSTF procedure manual, available at http://www.uspreventiveservicestaskforce.org/Page/Name/procedure-manual.

1 teen arrested, 1 at large in fatal southeast Dallas shooting
Roger Dewayne Arnold Jr., 17, faces a murder charge in the slaying of Kareem Kendreal Jones, 19.
File photo.(Irwin Thompson / Staff Photographer)
By Aria Jones
4:11 PM on Jan 24, 2023 CST
One teenager has been arrested in the fatal drive-by shooting of another teen in southeast Dallas, and another suspect remains at large.
Roger Dewayne Arnold Jr., 17, was booked into the Dallas County jail Friday on a murder charge in the slaying of Kareem Kendreal Jones, 19, whom police previously said was 17. It was unclear whether Arnold has an attorney.
Javar Rokeem Washington Jr.(DPD / DPD)
The affidavit also names Javar Rokeem Washington Jr., 18, as a suspect. Police said Washington, who remains at large, should be considered armed and dangerous and that anyone with information about his whereabouts should call 911.
Officers were called Jan. 10 to the 7200 block of Elam Road, at North Jim Miller Road, where they found Jones wounded. He was pronounced dead at a hospital a short time later.
A witness told detectives that they saw a black car slow down before someone inside fired several gunshots, and detectives found video showing a black Chevy with "distinctive" damage to one of its doors, according to an arrest-warrant affidavit.
Police contacted the dealership where the car was bought and got tracking information. They also got information from license plate readers and used a police helicopter to find the car at a home about 20 minutes from the scene of the shooting, the affidavit says.

Officers performed a traffic stop after the vehicle left the home, and on Jan. 13 a detective spoke with the vehicle's owner. The owner told police she gave Arnold permission to use her car and that she tried contacting him on the day of the shooting to get him to return the vehicle, according to the affidavit.
The owner told police that Arnold said he would pick her up, but then told her the car had been stolen. She used a phone application to track her vehicle and recovered it about 15 minutes away from the location of shooting, the affidavit says.
Police said they found fingerprints in the vehicle that belonged to Washington. On Jan. 14, a detective interviewed a witness who knew the suspects and said Washington had rolled down the passenger window and fired several shots, striking Jones, the affidavit says.
A witness told police that Jones was an innocent bystander and that another man was the intended target. A group of the alleged targeted man's friends got a text from a gang with which they're rivals that said to "go and pick up their partner off the ground" in the moments after the shooting, according to the affidavit.
Arnold remained in custody Tuesday, with bail set at $250,000.

My trip to Governors Island on MywalkinManhattan.com:
https://wordpress.com/post/mywalkinmanhattan.com/7658
I have toured Castle Williams several times when visiting Governors Island over the last two years. The fort sits at a strategic site on the island facing Manhattan. The fort was originally built to protect New York City from the British during the War of 1812. The British knowing that the City had been fortified for battle never attacked New York.
The tour takes place twice a day for about an hour and you tour the first two levels of the fort. There are all sorts of signs around to show the history of the fort and its uses over the years. The one thing they don't like is you touching the walls as the fort is still pretty fragile.
The nicest part of the tour is the observation deck at the top of the fort and the views of the Lower Manhattan skyline. It is a spectacular view of the harbor. You can see by the view why the fort was built where it was built and for its purpose before the War of 1812.
It really is a treat to see how fortifications mattered for cities in this time of history in this country.

Castle Williams is a circular defensive work of red sandstone on the west point of Governors Island in New York Harbor. It was designed and erected between 1807 and 1811. It was designed by the Chief Engineer of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Lieutenant Colonial Jonathan Williams for whom the fort was named after. It was considered a prototype for new forms of coastal fortification.
The castle was one component of a larger defensive system for the inner harbor that included Fort Jay and the South Battery on Governors Island, Castle Clinton at the tip of Manhattan, Fort Gibson at Ellis Island and Fort Wood, which is now the base of the Statue of Liberty on Liberty Island. This system of forts came to be known as the Second American System of coastal defense and existed to protect harbors like the one in New York from British interference with American Shipping.
Castle Williams from the Harbor
Its usefulness as a fort began to end in the 1830's, so Castle Williams subsequently served as barracks for the island's garrison and new and transient troops. The castle was then remodeled by the U.S. Army for use as a prison in various forms during the Civil War and through the first half of the 20th Century.

In 1901, Secretary of War Elihu Root, who worked hard to modernize the Army, made a commitment to preserve the castle and overruled army leaders who wanted to demolish both it and Fort Jay. By 1903, the castle was fitted up as a model, state of art prison facility. In 1947, extensive renovations were carried out with the wooden catwalks replaced by concrete enclosed walk ways, hiding the beautiful stone arches on the third level and resulting in the industrial appearance of the courtyard today. Castle Williams ceased operations as a military prison in 1965 just before the U.S. Army left Governors Island.
The Castle again faced a demolition challenge as Coast Guard officials in Washington DC, who took control of Governors Island in 1966, wanted to demolish it. Instead, the castle was remodeled as a youth community center with a nursery, meeting rooms for Scouts and clubs, a woodworking shop, art studios, a photography laboratory and a museum. By the late 1970's, the community center moved to another location and the fort became the grounds-keeping shop for the Coast Guard base.

Over time, the roof failed and broken windows allowed serious water damage to occur inside the castle. In the mid-1990s, the roof was replaced and new windows stopped further water damage to the structure but the interior remains closed until it can be made safe for public access. The National Park Service proposes to stabilize and restore the castle and eventually provide access to the roof, allowing the public to admire the harbor and the modern skyline of the great city (this has since opened on my last visit).
Governors Island with a view on Lower Manhattan
Castle Williams was individually listed in the National Register of Historic Placed on July 31, 1972. It was recorded by the Historical American Buildings Survey in 1983. It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1985 and the New York City Landmarks Historic District in 1996. It has been part of the Governors Island National Monument by Presidential Proclamations signed in 2001 and 2003.

(FOX 2) - Dangerously cold temperatures returned to Michigan last night. Much to our dismay, they'll stick around through Friday morning.
Wednesday when we woke up, the wind chill range was between -35 and -40 degrees. At these numbers it will only take frost bite 10 minutes to set in to exposed skin.
So where do these extremely low temps fall in the history books? Are we living through the coldest day ever in Michigan right now? It may sure seem like it, but no.
The FOX 2 Weather Authority Team looked back into all our records through January, February, March and even back into December. Today the forecast is going to rank as one of the top 30 coldest days of all time here in southeast Michigan, but it's not quite a record setter.
The coldest day in our history rings in at -21 degrees on Jan. 21, 1984. The forecasted low for Wednesday night is -11 degrees.
We are expected to remain below zero all day on Wednesday, and if we stay below zero on Thursday too that'll put us around a 54 hours stretch of sub zero temps. That's a long time -- but that wouldn't be a record either.
The longest stretch we've been below zero was for 68 hours on Feb. 8 - 11 in 1899.
This is the coldest stretch we've had though in five years though. The most comprable stetch was the polar vortex we had back in 2014.


Synthetic biological engineering is emerging from biology as a distinct discipline based on quantification. The technologies propelling synthetic biology are not new, nor is the concept of designing novel biological molecules. What is new is the emphasis on system behavior.
The objective is the design and construction of new biological devices and systems to deliver useful applications. Numerous synthetic gene circuits have been created in the past decade, including bistable switches, oscillators, and logic gates, and possible applications abound, including biofuels, detectors for biochemical and chemical weapons, disease diagnosis, and gene therapies.
More than fifty years after the discovery of the molecular structure of DNA, molecular biology is mature enough for real quantification that is useful for biological engineering applications, similar to the revolution in modeling in chemistry in the 1950s. With the excitement that synthetic biology is generating, the engineering and biological science communities appear remarkably willing to cross disciplinary boundaries toward a common goal.
Synthetic biological engineering is emerging from biology as a distinct discipline based on quantification [1–5]. The objective is the design and construction of new biological devices and systems to deliver useful applications. Numerous synthetic gene circuits have been created in the past decade, including bistable switches, oscillators, and logic gates [[1–5], and references therein], and possible applications abound, ranging from biofuels, to detectors for biochemical and chemical weapons, to disease diagnosis, to gene therapies.
Certainly, the technologies propelling synthetic biology are not new, nor is the concept of designing novel biological molecules [6, 7]. What is perhaps new is the emphasis on system behavior, designing DNA sequences with synthetic phenotypes exhibiting prescribed dynamic responses.
Despite the initial successes of synthetic designs [1–5], the paradigm of biological sciences as descriptive disciplines may not rapidly assist in rationally engineering novel gene networks, despite the increasing volume of components that can be used in constructing synthetic networks. Genome projects identify the components of gene networks in biological organisms, gene after gene, and DNA microarray experiments discover the network connections. Yet, the static pictures of networks these experiments provide cannot adequately explain biomolecular phenomena or enable rational engineering of dynamic gene expression regulation. In other words, as an engineering discipline, synthetic biology cannot rely on endless trial and error methods driven by verbal description of biomolecular interaction networks.
The challenge facing the scientific and engineering communities is then to reduce the enormous volume and complexity of biological data into concise theoretical formulations with predictive ability, ultimately associating synthetic DNA sequences to dynamic phenotypes. The paradigm is not new either: In the 1940s and 1950s chemistry was a well matured discipline for pioneers like Neil Amundson, Byron Bird and Rutherford Aris to develop mathematical models that captured the enormous complexity of chemical processes in a way useful for chemical engineering applications [8–10]. Quantitative models of chemical processes led to the establishment of the chemical engineering discipline and the emergence of a strong chemical/petroleum industry. Although arguments can be made about the detrimental role of this industry on the environment, there can be no doubt of the overall positive effects on human life.
But what types of models are appropriate for synthetic biology? Because of the large number of participating species and the complexity of their interactions, only detailed modeling can allow the investigation of dynamic gene expression in a way fit for analysis and design. Designs can be detailed at the molecular level with dynamic models of all the biomolecular interactions involved in transcription, translation, regulation, transport and induction. We contrast this to a posteriori modeling of synthetic networks. For example in their seminal 2000 paper , Gardner and co-workers developed a very elegant model that captures and explains the observed dynamic behavior of the bistable switch and provides additional insight in the biological mechanism. This formalism may abide well with Occam's razor, but cannot guide the choice of specific DNA sequences and their regulatory relations to achieve a bistable switch. More specifically, it will be challenging to use reduced models to choose, for example, between lactose, arabinose or tetracycline operators, or any one of dozens of their mutant variants, for building a new, different bistable switch.
First, the level of network topologies, where biomolecules control the concentration of other biomolecules, e.g. DNA binding proteins regulate the expression of specific genes by either activation or repression. By combining simple regulatory interactions, such as negative and positive feedback and feed forward loops, one may create more intricate networks that precisely control the production of protein molecules, such as bistable switches, oscillators, and filters. In the laboratory, these networks can be created using existing libraries of regulatory proteins and their corresponding operator sites. The now classical example is the aforementioned bistable switch Gardner and co-workers built : they connected two regulatory proteins repressing one another and this resulted in a bistable switch they could control. Another is the repressilator of Elowitz and Leibler : three regulatory proteins repressing one another in a sequential loop resulted in oscillating concentration profiles.
Secondly, the level of molecular components, which describes the kinetics and strengths of biomolecular interactions within the system. Indeed, the dynamical behavior of the system is a complex function of the kinetic interactions of the components. By altering the characteristics of the components, such as DNA-binding proteins and their corresponding DNA sites, one can modify the system's dynamical behavior without modifying the network topology. In the laboratory, the DNA sequences that yield the desired characteristics of each component can be engineered to achieve the desired protein-protein, protein-RNA, or protein-DNA binding constants and enzymatic activities. For example, Alon and co-workers  showed how simple mutations on the DNA sequence of the lactose operon can result in widely different phenotypic behaviors.
Ultimately, the large number of variants (interaction topologies and strengths) for these two types of design degrees of freedom requires sophisticated computational modeling, since the cost of experimentally changing these components and the kinetics of their interactions can quickly become prohibitive. Computer simulations enable exhaustive searches of different network connectivities and molecular thermodynamic/kinetic parameters, greatly advancing the development of design principles that seek to simplify the complicated behavior of the network into a brief, usable framework.
with k1 and k-1 the association and dissociation kinetic constants, respectively. If we considered the cell as a well-stirred reactor we could calculate the behavior of the network using a set of ordinary differential equations, which determine concentration changes as prescribed by kinetic laws. However, the underlying assumption of such continuous-deterministic models, that the number of molecules approaches the thermodynamic limit (i.e. that the volume of the system is infinite), can be invalid for biological systems, since for some components (DNA for example) there are only a few copies available.
In the 1950s Oppenheim and McQuarrie, among others, explored stochasticity in kinetic models, developing the chemical Master equation formalism to capture discrete interaction events that occur with certain probability in time [14, 15]. A numerical stochastic simulation algorithm (SSA) to calculate these probabilistic trajectories was described by Gillespie . Gillespie's algorithm uses the system dynamics to simulate the occurrence of each individual reaction event. In general, given the current state of the system, the SSA seeks the time until the next reaction occurs. It then executes that reaction, updates the state of the system, and increments the simulation time to the new value. Although accurate in capturing the dynamic of biomolecular interaction systems, SSA becomes computationally intractable, if the time scales of involved interaction events are disparate, because it simulates every single biomolecular interaction event, spending inordinate amounts on fast reactions for very few simulated occurrences of slow reactions. The modeling community was up to the challenge and in the last decade there have been numerous attempts to improve the efficiency of the SSA [17–23]. As a result, recently algorithms have appeared that successfully tackle biomolecular interaction phenomena with disparate time scales [24–29] (see Figure 1). Although work is still underway, there are now exciting developments that the synthetic biology community can benefit from.
A major challenge in synthetic biology is to rationally select DNA sequences that result in targeted dynamic phenotypes. For example, with simulations using Hy3S  we are experimenting with multiple alternative promoter sequences to identify the optimal AND gate synthetic gene network, with tetracycline (atc) and IPTG as inputs and green fluorescence protein (GFP) as output.
More than fifty years after the discovery of the molecular structure of DNA, molecular biology is mature enough for quantification useful for biological engineering applications, similar to chemistry in the 1950s. With the excitement synthetic biology is generating, the engineering and biological science communities appear remarkably willing to cross disciplinary boundaries toward this common goal.


At the beginning of the trip I was planning on two blog posts, one on the week in Trinidad and one on the week in Tobago. It quickly became apparent that this wasn't going to work as we were seeing tonnes of birds and taking just as many pictures! This first post will be on the 4 days spent at the Asa Wright Nature Centre in Trinidad. It is a glorious place to stay, sitting on the verandah before breakfast each morning watching the hummingbirds drinking nectar and in the evenings, having a beer and recapping the wonderful day we'd just had.
After landing in Piarco Airport and navigating the roads up to Asa Wright, we had about 45 minutes of daylight left to do our first bit of birdwatching. This was my first birding holiday out of Europe and it was an amazing experience to be seeing all these new birds. I had been worried about identifying remembering he species but was amazed with the speed we were picking up not only the species but also the calls. I suspect their bright colours may help somewhat! The first evening we saw a total of 15 species, then had a delightful meal. The species were all species we would frequently see over the next two weeks (but nonetheless wonderful) so I won't go into detail except a special mention to the amazing Squirrel Cuckoo which quickly became a favourite.
The next morning we had our orientation walk, something Asa Wright offer for people staying at the centre. A guide took us down the main trail, showing us the highlights, including the adorable White-bearded Manakin, the branch sliding Golden-headed Manakin and the impossibly loud Bearded Bellbird. At the Golden-headed Manakin lek there was also a pair of White-shouldered Tanager which excited the guides as apparently the hadn't been seen for a few weeks. We passed a White-necked Thrush in a well camouflaged nest about 4 foot up a tree barely a metre from the path. On returning to the centre, we were lucky enough to see a perched Double-toothed Kite and a Brown Violetear, which would visit the centre a few more times during our stay. It was also the first time we saw Blue Dacnis, firstly a female that proved a conundrum for the people in the verandah until we scouring the Helm guide we had brought along, then the gorgeous male popped up to confirm the ID. The centre was also inundated with Honeycreeper, the more common Green and Purple along with a Red-legged seen later in the week. Today was also the first time I saw a Barred Antshrike - my favourite bird of the trip. What a darling!
We made a rather last minute trip to go night birding that evening and left slightly earlier to have an hour or so at Aripo Livestock Station first. Our guide was Dave Ramlal, an excellent and highly recommended guide. Here we saw our only Yellow-hooded Blackbird, Grassland Yellow Finch, Yellow-chinned Spinetail, Wilson's Snipe, Red-breasted Blackbird and Ruddy-breasted Seedeater for the trip all lovely birds. The night portion of the trip found us a Common Potoo, something I had been worried about missing as well as plenty of Common Pauraque and White-tailed Nightjar.
Look at the colour on the throat!
The centre has a great visible (and audible) population of Crested Oropendola, a bird I later found out is classified as a pest! They have cool hanging nests in the tree across from the verandah and often perch in tall trees by the centre.
Awful photo, but Common Potoo!
The next morning we got up early to see the elusive Tufted Coquette. I really need to practice with my camera as I found it impossible to get a photo of the tiny hummingbird but I suggest you google it as it's a super cool looking bird. We saw our first Channel-billed Toucan from the verandah then it was out for a long day with Dave at Wallerfield, Waterloo and Carli Bay with an evening trip to the infamous Caroni Swamp.
Wallerfield was the first brief stop for a species I really was hoping to see. It wasn't at the nesting site, but we soon saw one perched happily at the top of a tree around the corner, along with plenty of Black Vulture and Turkey Vulture circling in the sky. The species was a Pearl Kite, a gorgeous tiny raptor.
Waterloo is by the sea and there were some waders, plenty of Laughing Gull and Brown Pelican and a Yellow-headed Caracara being mobbed by a Tropical Mockingbird. The flock of waders included Short-billed Dowitcher, Lesser Yellowlegs, Western Sandpiper and a lone Ruddy Turnstone. A single Lesser Black-backed Gull was present and the ridiculously amazing Magnificent Frigatebird were above. Further down the road there were stunning Saffron Finch which were great to watch.
Carli Bay is a little along the coast and presented a great place to have lunch, complete with a kitten and puppy. A Rufous-browed Peppershrike kindly appeared during lunch and after we had a small bug filled walk to spot Bi-coloured Conebill.
The afternoon and evening were reserved for a boat trip in Caroni Swamp to see the Scarlet Ibis come in to roost. It wasn't the prime season but there were still a few hundred coming in over the time we were there and it was a lovely spectacle. A couple of other amazing birds we saw whilst there were Green-throated Mango, Pygmy Kingfisher, Black-crested Antshrike, Red-capped Cardinal and our second and third Tropical Screech Owl of the trip.
It was another early morning the next day. This was a big trip, a trip to hopefully see one of the two endemics, the Trinidad Piping Guan. If we didn't manage to catch up with it today, it was a 3am start the next morning to go to Grand Riviere where they were more frequently seen. We headed up to Mornebleu with Dave's dad Roodal, it was a great spot. We had some great close up views of species such as Scaled Pigeon, Plain-brown Woodcreeper, Collared Trogan and Squirrel Cuckoo before Roodal spotted a lone Piping Guan just a small distance away from us. We had an awe-inspiring time watching it before it flew off. Two minutes later and it appeared again to perch on a tree right next to the path. I rather felt like it wanted a closer look at us! It's a massive bird and so incredibly prehistoric looking. A must see.
Back to Asa Wright for breakfast and a trip to the Oilbird cave. This is a world famous Oilbird cave and it's fantastic. The Oilbird have the creepiest call and are very sweet looking. It was then a last look out from the verandah before heading south to our accommodation for the rest of the week at Ajoupa Pottery. On the way we popped into Yerette, a hummingbird paradise where we saw two hummingbirds we hadn't caught up with yet, the Ruby Topaz and Long-billed Starthroat as well as getting extremely close views of all the other common species.

Workarounds provide a way to bypass or overcome a particular issue or Incident, whether it is an end-user or back office issue. A example might be editing or adding a portion of a customer's health care record/data through a script instead of through the application front-end due to coding or database issues.
A question recently arose about where to track the workaround since a formal KEDB did not exist. Since Workarounds are typically not permanent, managing its life cycle is important. Image your users continuing to execute the above scripted workaround after a permanent fix had been applied. This may cause data integrity issues or worse.
In our situation, the answer was to manage the workaround within the Problem Record itself. Why?
Quite simply because the Problem is now the active record for tracking root cause and permanent resolution of that original Incident. If Change Management and Problem are properly integrated, the Change process should help manage successful implementation and transition planning. Prior to closing the Change and Problem Record, proper communications and/or training would occur to remove any manual or automated workarounds. Finally, once no longer relevant, the Known-Error itself should be archived or disposed.

Acer stachyophyllum ist eine Pflanzenart aus der Gattung der Ahorne (Acer) in der Familie der Seifenbaumgewächse (Sapindaceae).

Beschreibung

Vegetative Merkmale

Acer stachyophyllum ist ein kleiner Baum und erreicht Wuchshöhen bis zu 15 Metern. In Mitteleuropa bleibt er meist ein großer, vielstämmiger Strauch. Gelegentlich sind Wurzelausläufer zu beobachten. Die Rinde ist kahl und grünlich-braun, gelegentlich weiß gestreift. Die Knospen sind strahlend rot, die Knospenschuppen haben eine ungewöhnliche zweilappige Form.

Die gegenständig an den Zweigen angeordneten Laubblätter sind in Blattstiel und -spreite gegliedert. Der Blattstiel ist gut 5 Zentimeter lang. Die Blattspreite ist bei einer Länge von 5 bis 8 Zentimetern sowie einer Breite von etwa 5 Zentimetern nicht gelappt oder höchstens seicht dreilappig, meist sind die Seitenlappen sehr reduziert. Die Blattspitze ist lang ausgezogen, der Blattrand ist gezähnt. Die Blattoberseite ist dunkel-grün, die -unterseite heller und beim Blattaustrieb behaart, bis auf die Blattadern verliert sich diese Behaarung später. Die Herbstfärbung ist gelb.

Generative Merkmale
Acer stachyophyllum ist zweihäusig getrenntgeschlechtig. Fünf bis acht Blüten sind in einem traubigen Blütenstand angeordnet. Die männlichen Blütenstände stehen in den Blattachseln, die weiblichen Blüten stehen endständig an Kurztrieben.

Die eingeschlechtige Blüte ist radiärsymmetrisch und fünfzählig mit doppelter Blütenhülle. Die  männlichen Blüten enthalten vier Staubblätter. Die Nektarscheibe befindet sich innerhalb des Staubblattkreises.

Die Flügel der Flügelnussfrüchte stehen in einem spitzen Winkel zueinander.

Die Chromosomenzahl beträgt 2n = 26.

Vorkommen
Acer stachyophyllum kommt im östlichen Himalaya und in der Zentralchina vor. Sie wächst in Bergwäldern in Höhenlagen bis zu 3500 Metern.

Systematik
die Erstbeschreibung von Acer stachyophyllum wurde 1875 von William Philip Hiern in Joseph Dalton Hooker: Flora of British India, 1, S. 694.

Die Art Acer stachyophyllum gehört zur Reihe Arguta in der Sektion Glabra in der Gattung Acer. Eine nahe verwandte Art ist Acer argutum.

Je nach Autor gibt es etwa zwei Unterarten:
 Acer stachyophyllum subsp. betulifolium : Die Laubblätter sind kleiner, stärker gelappt, Blattrand stärker gezähnt, Herbstfärbung rot.
 Acer stachyophyllum  subsp. stachyophyllum
