About my work:
"I was and continue to be inspired by the beauty of the world around me and can spent hours to explore it. The rapid world at which is everything changed so fast, I discovered that I will never live in quite the same world. Life unfolds only in moments. Capturing moments that are full of emotion is the key to my art.
During the creating process, I don't limit myself to a specific style or medium therefore my art is mostly represents mixed media. My creating process is based on my emotions and my mood. I'm very spontaneous. Today I might use photography to convey my feelings...tomorrow I might paint to express myself. My work is infused with spirit and energy I felt at the moment I created it."

A patient for Monday had faxed over some of his records, which included this note:
'My migraines feel like someone is pushing a steak through my head."

OT, but watch out Dr.Grumpy!
Probably a T-Bone. It's got a nice handle and a pointed end.
Is this how Lady Gaga felt in her meat dress?
Is the patient a groan man?
could be a tofu steak.
I had a patient write that she wanted to be seen because her risks hurt.
Maybe she needs to see a butcher instead?
Do the less-severe headaches feel like a minute steak?
Who is Ed?
Ed is the office fish. See the "Cast of characters" in the right sidebar.
Hope it was rare
I get icepick migraines. Sometimes it feels like someone is shoving the whole cow through my head.
p.s. since when is Ed wearing diapers?
p.p.s. Yes, I do know what you really meant.
Off topic, but, oh so interesting! I guess I better find something else to watch!
You only have one fish? Ed must be so lonely...
Love it. Sounds like he has migraines like mine. :(
You do have to pound awfully hard to get a steak through there.
Moose, not a cow. A moose with sharpened horns would be the more apt description of my migraines! (pun intended)
I drink a lot of spirits based on home-grown barley. Does that explain my grains?

Snow, rain make comeback in Wisconsin
Slick roads contributed to accidents, authorities say
Snow made its annual comeback in some parts of Wisconsin, while other areas just got chilly rain Sunday.
In Milwaukee rain fell steadily, but just 40 miles away, snow covered the ground in West Bend.
Authorities said slick roads contributed to dozens of accidents, especially in Sheboygan County, where several cars landed in ditches.
Salt trucks were out on Interstate 43 in Manitowoc County, and Milwaukee public works said its crews have been on standby, but so far, weather conditions in the city have not prompted salting or plowing.
In Washington County, highway department crews hit the road as rain turned into snow, with thick wet flakes piling up on the roads and highways. Authorities said the plow drivers weren't the only ones out navigating it, and the first day of accumulating snow had its share of crashes.
Some homeowners decided to get out the shovels, something they haven't done in nine months.
"I wasn't expecting it. I heard it was supposed to rain, and then maybe change over to snow, so this is a little bit of a surprise," said Steven Heim of West Bend.
Highway crews said it was mostly a salting operation though there were some streets that had to be plowed.

Remarks by Angel Gurría, OECD Secretary-General, delivered at a International Institute of Finance, 30th Anniversary Membership Meeting.
Tokyo, Friday, 12 October 2012
(As prepared for delivery)
Ladies and Gentlemen,
It is a pleasure to be here with you in Tokyo to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the International Institute of Finance (IIF).
The world economy remains fragile and the global financial system remains weak.
According to the latest OECD Interim Assessment released last month, the global economic outlook has deteriorated significantly since the spring. Key European countries are entering a recession that is having an impact worldwide. The United States is projected to enjoy somewhat stronger growth, but failure to avoid the fiscal cliff might derail its recovery. China's exports to the euro area are being hard hit and growth is slowing. The weak growth outlook is expected to push unemployment beyond today's already high levels.
A number of downside risks lie on the horizon, the euro area crisis, a fragile financial sector, slowing growth rates in Asian and emerging economies, volatile oil prices and the increased risk of protectionism. You will be discussing these and other risks in your next session.
Action – by policymakers and private sector actors – is at the heart of my message today. As you take stock of what this means for the IIF 30 years on, I'd like to share with you the OECD's own vision in three crucial areas for the global economy. Action to resolve the euro crisis. Action to strengthen the global financial system, and action to anchor growth in the longer-term. Let me outline the crucial actions we must take.
Resolving the euro area crisis is the most urgent priority
First, let's not forget the courageous efforts already being made by some national governments. The austerity measures and structural reforms in Greece, Spain, Italy and Portugal are painful but critical. We should do what we can to support them in these vital reform agendas.
At the same time, the European Council and the European Central Bank (ECB) have also made important steps. Cutting interest rates, committing to intervene in sovereign debt markets under certain conditions, and agreeing to a banking union are important steps towards stability.
But it's time to translate these words into action. We have seen that markets respond positively to political commitments, but that their optimism and confidence fades when implementation gets so complicated that it disappoints. That is why the ECB needs the freedom to intervene in struggling sovereign debt markets when the conditions are right.
Further progress towards a full banking union is crucial and should include euro area level deposit guarantees, a single supervisory mechanism, with a key role for the ECB and a common bank resolution regime. European banks also urgently need to be capitalised. In our view Europe needs over 700 billion Euros in new capital to alleviate pressures. Full recognition of non-performing loans, enforced by common supervision, and the availability of area-wide public funds for recapitalisation are crucial for severing the negative feedback loop between banks and sovereigns.
More broadly, action is needed to fix weaknesses in the global financial system
I have already said that the recapitalisation of banks in Europe is a priority, but the need to reform the financial sector goes much further than that. For a long time, the OECD has argued for two complementary reforms that we think would be more effective in addressing systemic risk in the financial system.
First, a simple leverage ratio is essential to control the problem of banks with too little capital. The complex Basel rules unfortunately gave banks ample scope to avoid such binding limits (via the so-called 'risk-weight optimisation').
Second, separating commercial banking from large-scale and complex securities (notably derivatives) businesses is essential. Put simply, central bank support for the profitability of banks in the aftermath of this crisis cannot be permitted to foster new bubbles and new crises.
Separation of well-capitalised, well-governed and deposit-insured banks from investment banking will improve the appropriate pricing of risk by reducing the cross-subsidisation and too-big-to-fail guarantees. This will also help to cushion domestic growth and jobs from bouts of extreme global market volatility.
The OECD's preferred model of legal separation and ring-fencing in the corporate form of a non-operating holding company would prevent creditors of one troubled subsidiary pursuing those of another. The creation of more 'bite-sized' affiliates would also enhance the credibility of resolving them in the case of insolvency.
The Volker rule in the United States, the recommendations by the Vickers Commission in the United Kingdom, current proposals in Germany, and most recently, the Liikanen Report on Reforming the Structure of the EU Banking Sector are to be welcomed in this respect. It is vital that policymakers work closely with organisations such as the IIF, as well as other stakeholders, to ensure that these reforms are fit for purpose and consistent across country borders.
Beyond the short-term response to the crisis, we also need to take broader action to anchor growth in the long-term
Restoring stability and growth to the euro area and fixing the financial system will go a long way to securing stronger and more sustainable global growth. But the global crisis has left policymakers around the world a number of unwanted legacies; low growth, rising unemployment and inequality, high budget deficits and debt. Longer-term challenges also lurk, such as shifting wealth, climate change and persisting global imbalances. All pose a threat to long-term growth.
As we have been recommending for several years, it is time to "Go Structural." Structural reforms offer multiple dividends: they can help us unleash productivity, develop new sources of growth and rebuild confidence; they can even facilitate fiscal consolidation and help address imbalances. And the best news: our analysis has proved that if properly targeted and combined, structural reforms can deliver results much faster and at lower short-term costs than generally expected.
Let me provide you with an example of the kind of structural reforms I am talking about.
It is no secret that higher labour utilisation "getting more people to work" and higher productivity "getting each worker to produce more" can deliver stronger long-term growth in all countries. In fact, from my experience this is something that is currently occupying the minds of many world leaders.
Structural reforms that boost women's employment and provide better access for the young and the old to the labour market can achieve increased labour participation. Not only this, but such reforms will also help reduce inequalities and mitigate the effects of ageing societies. A challenge many countries, including Japan, face today.
Productivity can be increased through a wide array of structural reforms: through reforms to promote knowledge-based assets such as employee skills, organisational know-how and various forms of intellectual property; but also, through deeper and more rapid reforms to increase competition in product markets and to open economies to trade and investment.
There are some excellent examples of how such structural policies can work.
Australia successfully boosted productivity and growth by further reducing import tariff barriers, vigorously enforcing new competition law and improving regulation in a wide range of sectors. It also simplified and decentralized its system of industrial relations, allowing it to derive large benefits from globalization and its proximity to dynamic Asian markets.
Working closely with the OECD, the Italian Government has introduced legislation in the last 12 months covering a wide range of competition and regulatory policy areas, which we estimate could add up to 4% to GDP over 10 years. Not insignificant numbers when you potentially face years of stagnant growth.
In our efforts to promote growth, we must not forget the well-being of citizens
When implementing productivity and growth-enhancing reforms we need to be aware of their potential unintended consequences. For example, policies to foster competition in product markets, and increasing adaptability of labour markets can lead to widening wage disparities and contribute to inequalities.
In fact, recent OECD analysis has taught us that the benefits of growth do not automatically trickle down. Income inequality in OECD countries is at its highest level for the past half century. The average income of the richest 10% of the population is about nine times that of the poorest 10% across the OECD, up from seven times 25 years ago.
Thankfully structural reforms can be both the cause and the remedy. Structural reforms are also crucial in combating inequality. Addressing this issue not only improves well-being, it can also restore balance, competitiveness and boost productivity. Tax, health, social security, and other policies are needed. But it is particularly important that countries focus on education and skills.
Without adequate investment in skills, people languish on the margins of society, technological progress does not translate into economic growth, and countries can't compete in today's economies. There are also plenty of unemployed graduates on the streets, while employers search in vain for people with the skills they need. This tells us that skills do not automatically translate into better economic and social outcomes.
The OECD Skills Strategy calls for a shift from "lifetime jobs" to "lifetime employability". This means investing in skills throughout the life cycle; from early childhood, through compulsory education, to the transition into the workforce and beyond. Linking the world of learning and the world of work is crucial and calls for proactive engagement from all players, including the private sector.
Last, but not least, we cannot afford to ignore our environment
I can hear the groans already. At a time of crisis, it is easy to throw out the green and go for any colour of growth going. But we are on a collision course with nature and the costs and consequences of environmental inaction could be absolutely colossal, both in economic and human terms.
At the OECD, we strongly believe that growth and environmentally sustainability go hand in hand. Encouraging greener sources of growth fosters innovation, while at the same time mitigating the expensive costs of problems like climate change, biodiversity loss, or water scarcity. Structural reforms can also contribute here by addressing barriers to green innovation. The private sector also has an important role to play in integrating environmental considerations in their growth strategies.
Finally, let me leave you on a note of challenge…
The global economic crisis has been a wake-up call to policymakers, to financial sector participants, to individuals around the world. The economic meltdown of 2008 exposed serious flaws in the underpinnings of mainstream economics.
As an international organisation, we are taking a long hard look at ourselves in the mirror. That's why the OECD has launched work "New Approaches to Economic Challenges (NAEC),"- to reflect on and analyse the overall structure of our thinking and its effectiveness. This initiative will enable us to identify the root causes of the crisis and more importantly, take stock of the lessons learnt from it. This isn't about writing a book, or holding a seminar. This is about taking a cold, hard look at policy, and we invite you to join us in this soul searching exercise.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Today you have heard my call to action. I am sure as you will discuss these issues in more depth in your next session. But my message today is simple. The global economy is on the ropes. I urge everyone to take action to restart growth in the euro area, to strengthen the fragility of global banking system, and to set us on a long-term path towards inclusive and sustainable growth.

Learning to live with the laws of motion
Freed from the grip of Earth's gravity, astronauts find themselves in a living physics textbook. The laws of motion eluded the best minds in the world for millennia until Isaac Newton discovered them in the seventeenth century. But in the weightlessness of orbit, those laws are glaringly obvious - and often very vexing.
Russian cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin, during his pioneering first orbit of the Earth in 1961, was the first to experience the practical effects. He put down his pencil while writing his log. Obeying Newton's first law - the same principle of uniform motion that keeps the planets moving around our Sun - the pencil floated out of reach: Gagarin had to complete his log by speaking into a tape recorder. Nowadays astronauts keep equipment in place with Velcro or bungee straps.
Newton's Second Law states that force is needed to accelerate or decelerate a body. In practice this means astronauts must learn how to push themselves carefully through their spacecraft, or else they will simply float around helplessly. And once astronauts get moving they have to remember to stop themselves as they near where they want to be. Otherwise they'll keep going until they hit something - or someone. First-timers tend to collect a lot of bruises. Some animals flown in space never get the hang of it - one set of new-born quails couldn't adapt to life aboard Russia's Mir space station and died after just a few days.
Newton's third law states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. This, too, has very apparent consequences for astronauts: if they so much as try to turn a screw without anchoring themselves to a wall, they'll find themselves twisting instead. The reaction from even the mildest of actions - typing at a computer keyboard, say - will send an astronaut floating away. That's why workstations on the ISS are generously provided with restraining loops where the crew can anchor their feet.
It's not that the laws of motion are any different on Earth than in space. But Earth's gravitational field has such an overwhelming force it masks their precise effects. And gravity is integral to all sorts of phenomena that we take for granted. For example, the air in our homes circulates naturally: hot air rises because it is lighter than cool air, and convection currents form. In orbit, nothing is lighter than anything else, so ordinary convection currents can't exist. Without a ventilation fan, sleeping astronauts would suffocate in the carbon dioxide that accumulates around their faces.
Similarly, weightless flames behave very differently from their Earth-bound counterparts. Instead of a flickering column of hot gas, differentiated in colour and content by gravitational effects, a flame in orbit is a small blue sphere. (And it had best be confined to a laboratory experiment: an actual fire aboard a spacecraft is something all astronauts dread.)
The ISS itself, of course, is a perfect expression of the laws of motion. Struggling against centuries of intuition and common sense, Newton realised that a bullet shot from a gun ought to continue to move indefinitely. Of course, on Earth the force of gravity soon pulls it to the ground, and atmospheric friction would slow the projectile in any case. But the faster you can shoot the bullet, the farther it will travel before it hits the ground. And if you can accelerate your bullet - or more usefully, your spacecraft - to a speed of around 8 km/s, it will never finish its trajectory. Instead, it will orbit the Earth in a state of perpetual free fall. Its velocity exactly cancels the pull of the Earth's gravity: which creates the simultaneously vexing and exciting world that astronauts contend with and enjoy.

New 'Skybar' restaurant coming to the Mall
It's been a long time coming, but it appears that Downtown landlord Gabe Silverman has finally found a long-term tenant for the old A&N building on the east end of the Mall.
Alex George, former owner of Just Curry and former partner in Cinema Taco, along with four investors, will be opening the Commonwealth Restaurant & Skybar sometime in June.
Okay, it's not the spectacular roof-top restaurant atop the Landmark Hotel that Halsey Minor promised (you may have to crane your neck to get any view of the horizon), but we'll take it.
Plans for the renovation of the building, drawn up by architect Marthe Rowen, were approved by the Board of Architectural Review recently, and George says the design firm Alloy Workshop will team up with her to design the interior. A notable addition to the building will be a roof-top terrace, which George says will have restaurant seating and a bar.
Well, it certainly looks like the International Style is alive and well on the Downtown Mall. A steel-framed canopy over the skybar recalls Philip Johnson's renowned Glass House in New Canaan, Connecticut. The other obvious exterior change will be a simple modern canopy guarding the front door, which will move from the center to the corner of the façade.
Actually, the circa-1900 building was orginally two stories, but the second story either burned or was removed in the mid-20th century. After years as the A&N building, it became the local Obama campaign headquaters in 2008 and served as an art gallery until recently.
In 2006 a Littlejohn's Deli was planned for the space, and the very next year plans for a grocery store were proposed. So the food theme continues.
Unfortunartely, folks living in the building will see their small second-story windows covered with a wall. The open-air roof-top section will inlcude two bathrooms, seating, a full-bar, and guardrails along the parapet to lean on and view the street below.
A large portion of the brick wall on the 5th Street SE side of the building will be demolished, making way for fixed or sliding windows that will extend down to the floor level.
The menu, says George, who will be the executive chef, will feature what he's calling "new American cuisine with a South American influence."
"I want to pull from the entire continent of South America and the Caribbean to infuse color into the food," says George. He says he'll be using locally sourced food when available, but says the menu will be supplemented with foods from South America and the Caribbean. (Indeed, it's hard to find a locally grown mango.)
George says the restaurant will serve a light menu from 3pm to 5pm, then the regular menu until 9:30pm, at which time the downstairs will close and a late night menu will be served on the Skybar until closing.

looks like the rooftop bar will have a great view...of the sides of the three multi-story buildings that surround it.
This sounds great, but aren't there like 20 other restaurants in town with a South American influence to them? What is going to make Skybar stand out? Not a view, certainly.
I don't think heights and alcohol mix real well.
I have been waiting for my rooftop bar ever since Halsey Frickin' Minor promised it three years ago.
At this point I don't even care about the view. I WANT my ROOFTOP BAR.
I don't know about "20 other restaurants in town with a South American influence to them". If this is done right, it could be a very welcome addition to the downtown scene. Just Curry and Cinema Taco both had a cachet and were/are quite tasty.
I wish them best of luck in this new venture.
Other than a cheap photo shop job this looks like it will become the pigeon poop loft. Northern Exposure did something similar, but that frequent belch of street-side diesel smoke ruined many a great meal. Best wishes for success with your endeavor. Just open up early for the summer concert series so we can give you a try and still get a place on the lawn. After several years of attending concerts, I have found that the downtown merchants don't seem to understand they have a venue in their backyard.
I hear Sarah Palin is coming for the Grand Opening. She will be able to see The Free Speech Wall from there.
That's a great location--right next door to the former Antics vintage clothing store (newly quadrupled in size and renamed Low). It's often open late on Fridays and Saturdays. And what a relief that that mostly empty building, an eyesore for way too many years, will finally have a tenant.
Great place to take a date... cool very cool
Views of nothing, but outside is always a plus, weather permitting. A total rehab job by restaurant novices makes for a very happy landlord.
Wonder if they can compete with the Martini Bar over in W'boro??? hmmm....just food for thought...
who wants to go to waynesboro? ugh...glad there's a mountain in-between
Free Speech,
I think the food joints know they have multiple venues in their backyard, hence the late night light supper offering. The Pavilion is hardly the only one, though apparently you think it is. I doubt this place could have survived before the City forced that over amplified ugly behemoth to blast the entire Mall to the extent that outside wait staff couldn't even take orders. Maybe when the Pavilion is forced down to the levels of Friday's After Five, the entire area might really become a place for all sorts of patrons to enjoy the music venues as well as other parts of the Mall again.
"doubt this place could have survived before the City forced that over amplified ugly behemoth to blast the entire Mall to the extent that outside wait staff couldn't even take orders."
Should read:
doubt this place could have survived before the City forced that over amplified ugly behemoth that blasted the entire Mall to the extent that outside wait staff couldn't even take orders to turn it down a few notches.
This is great news! Been wanting that place turned into a restaurant with seating upstairs for years. And the Pavilion's been a GREAT addition to this town. Tons of fantastic acts have come through.
Rooftop bar is for women and old men. Basement lounge is for true man!
Smoke free on the roof?
Or will it be a typical Miller's sort of place where they heavily promote smoking by putting ash trays on every table next to high chairs for babies?
I wonder how the noise from the rooftop bar will effect the swanky apartments nearby.
If they have any type of music up there, they will have to be quite carefully not to become bad neighbors.
Next door on the 2nd floor are 5 apartments, currently with windows providing light, air, and emergency escape. Gabe Silverman is bricking those windows over. When asked to move the wall he's erecting out just a small distance so emergency egress could be allowed through the windows, he said sure, if you want to pay $7,000 per month. He could have worked with the community, worked with his neighbors to find a very reasonable solution. Instead he showed care for nothing but money -- no care at all for the people that are his building's neighbors, and plans to seal up their air and emergency egress. How would he feel if we went to his house and bricked over his windows? No heart. Just money. Sounds like the Grinch or Ebeneezer Scrooge. spome people call him the Devil.
Covering the windows of 5 apartments....how can a person be so heartless??? so careless? I wish NOTHING but the worse to this place...Money comes and goes, It's not everything in life
I completely agree that some good acts have gone through the Pavilion. However, the volume of many leaves a lot to be desired, unless you have hearing damage, and I don't think it's necessary that neighborhoods as far away as St Charles should have to hear it if they don't want to.
I stop eating at the DT Mall in large part because of the Pavilion. Early on it was so loud the waitstaff couldn't hear to take an order.
Like I said, when they turn it down, say to FAF, I will find it to be a real addition to Charlottesville.
So the owners of the apartments expected the A&N building to remain an ugly, dormant turd forever? If you want guaranteed side windows for life, don't buy a building that is in between two other buildings.
Silverman will deliver this new bar right after he finishes that paving project over at the Amtrak station.
Also, didn't Just Curry change its name to Just Closed?
That first step could be a big one........ah, our very own "Windows on the World"
The Pavilion has what, ~20 ticketed concerts a year that last past 9? Add in ~20 Fridays After Five shows for a total of 40 nights where there is a concert downtown perhaps? Is it fair to say that 200 nights a year we have appropriate weather conditions for dining downtown? So people are passing up 160 days of nice downtown dining due to some concerts at the Pavilion? Just check the schedule. If there is a concert going on, eat elsewhere. The existence of the Pavilion alone doesn't seem like it would necessitate refusing to eat on the mall.
I'm definitely looking forward to this place opening. Weather permitting, I'd always prefer to be at an outdoor or open air bar. Where exactly is it going to be? About a block off of the Pavillion? Is the plan for the customers on the rooftop part of the bar to be able to hear the Pavillion shows from there?
I hope they have micro-portions and $17 martinis! And would it be too much to ask for a wait staff full of tattooed hipsters who roll their eyes at the clientele? :D
That street needs some new retail businesses. The salad shop closed as did Ventana. Right now the only viable remaining business in that block is the store that sells cat-related items.
Sorry about the windows, But this place could be a cool spot if people GO OUT TO EAT IN CHARLOTTESVILLE. I cant believe that so many places have closed since I left a while back. If this place thinks its going to make it based on a roof top dining space it is very very wrong. I just hope the food is good, and not dressed up, pricey, and Metrosexual south american fusion ( which is kinda what it sounds like ) Maybe the guy from just curry, will just cook well cooked, not to expensive food and people will come out and eat there on days other than friday and saturday. If it goes down in flames, Halsey Minor should open a In & OUT BURGER There, people would actually Go there to eat>
Sure, open-air dining and mingling is nice. But does Charlottesville need another restaurant right now, of ANY kind? What about more brick? Yes, that's what we need. In fact, let's put those bricks over people's windows. I have a friend who lives in one of those apartments. He's going to have a hard time using that tiny skylight as an emergency escape. The long hallway with staircases at either end isn't a great option. Doesn't this violate some kind of safety code? And how much does it cost to buy—flat out BUY—a permit? If a few extra $$ can get a building permit, my career as an civil/environmental engineer will be pretty short, and my education practically worthless.
It's a bummer that the neighbor's windows are being bricked over, but it doesn't sound like they were big light-pouring-in windows anyway. Fresh air, cross-breeze, and maybe an emergency exit, yeah, it's a bum deal to lose those. But the folks living there can just vote with their feet when their leases are up, and go find a better place to live & a landlord who is more in tune with his residential customers' needs. (Or they could try to get out of their leases early with the loss of window? maybe?) I'm sure the landlord will have no trouble finding someone to take their places. Free market economy. Sux to have to move, but, thems the breaks. Meanwhile, I will drink to their happiness and well-being as I hang out on the roof drinking yummy cocktails this summer. Sounds like a fun addition to the Mall! Can't wait!
Gee. What a drag these lame posters are...personally, I'll enjoy sitting outside on a gorgeous Virginia
summer afternoon, a glass of wine, some fresh, cooling bits to eat. I guess the haters on this site will
be sitting in their SUVs inhaling fumes at the McDonalds drive thru?!
I am very excited to dine on the food of the behind-the-scenes chef once more who has over a decade of experience cooking for Charlottesville's fickle clientele. Dining outside will be a plus, but the food will be the real draw. It is a terrible shame to take away the windows of the tenants next door. But, please don't punish the restaurant and it's employees working to provide for their families because their landlord isn't a good neighbor. See you there!

Prognosis for Extensive-Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer
My Mom was diagnosed with small cell lung cancer in January. They found some spots around her aorta, in her lymph nodes, and in the spine. She is just completing her 4th cycle of chemotherapy. The doctor said now we stop treatment and watch and wait. My question is, what are the chances of recurrence? We were told that there is a 50% mortality rate in 9 months, and 90% mortality in 2 years. Statistically speaking, does that mean it will take a turn for the worse in the next few months, and most likely she will die in the next 1-2 years?
Barbara Campling, MD, Medical Oncologist, responds:
From what you say, it sounds like your mother has "extensive-stage" small cell lung cancer, which means that the cancer had spread outside of the chest at the time of diagnosis. Chemotherapy is generally quite effective at treating this in the short term. The goals of treatment for extensive-stage small cell lung cancer are to shrink the tumor, relieve symptoms, and improve survival, all of which chemotherapy can do. Unfortunately, once the cancer has spread outside of the chest, the cancer cannot be eliminated or cured. She is now completing her planned chemotherapy, and you are now wondering what the future holds for her, and how long she has to live.
Because the cancer had already spread outside of the chest at diagnosis, it is almost inevitable that it will start to grow again in the future, regardless of how well she responded to chemotherapy. How long will it be before this happens? That depends, to a certain extent, on how well she has responded to the initial chemotherapy treatment. If she has had a "complete response" to chemotherapy, meaning that the tumor can no longer be detected on any of her imaging scans, then it is likely to remain dormant for longer than if the response was more limited.
You have been told that the expected mortality is 50% at 9 months. This means that in a large group of patients with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer, half of the patients will be still be alive 9 months after diagnosis, whereas the other half will have died. However, these statistics do not tell us whether your mother will be alive 9 months after diagnosis- they do not tell us anything about an individual patient. A Canadian study that included patients with small cell lung cancer (WJ Mackillop and CF Quirt. Measuring the accuracy of prognostic judgements in oncology. Journal of Clinical Epidemiology. 1997;50:21-29.) demonstrated that doctors are very good at predicting which patients would or would not be cured, but we are not very accurate when it comes to predicting how long individual patients with incurable disease would survive. I often hear patients make statements like "my doctor gave me 10 months to live," and I try to avoid making these predictions myself as we are often wrong.
If your mother has had a very good response to chemotherapy treatment, it could be many months before the cancer starts to cause problems again. Once she has recovered from the side effects of the chemotherapy, she could get back to feeling well for a period of time. When the cancer does recur, it may respond again to chemotherapy, and this could relieve her symptoms and extend her survival. Unfortunately, this type of cancer nearly always becomes resistant to chemotherapy at some point. Even when this occurs, there is usually something that can be done to alleviate symptoms and relieve pain.

Scientists have shown for the first time why a feeling of control helps us reduce pain. The research, carried out at the Wellcome Trust Centre for Neuroimaging at UCL, London, has implications for how patients with persistent pain can cope with what is often a debilitating condition.
Using fMRI scanners, which allow scientists to examine how the brain operates, the research, led by Dr Katja Wiech and Dr Raffael Kalisch, showed that when people feel that they can control their pain, an area of their prefrontal cortex associated with a feeling of security is activated. The findings are published in the Journal of Neuroscience today and have been welcomed by the Expert Patients Programme.
More significantly, the team went on to show that when faced with pain beyond their control, people who tend to feel more in control of their own lives show a lower response in the prefrontal cortex, indicating that they are less effective in coping with pain than those who don't expect to have control.
"Patients with persistent pain report that often it is not the pain itself that makes their situation unbearable, but the fact that there is nothing they can do against it which makes them feel helpless," explains Dr Wiech. "Unfortunately, this feeling of uncontrollability in turn tends to worsen the pain. On the other hand, teaching persistent pain patients psychological coping strategies to handle their pain usually does help reduce its effects."
Dr Wiech and her team set up an experiment to investigate how people cope with pain. In the first stage, volunteers were given an electric stimulus to the backs of their hands and told that they could stop the pain at any point. In the second stage, they were told that the decision to stop the pain was out of their control and could only be stopped by a person or computer outside the room.
Using one of the centre's fMRI scanners, the researchers were able to show that a number of areas of the brain were activated according to whether the volunteer felt in control of the pain. Most important was the anterolateral prefrontal cortex, which is associated with successful coping with feelings of anxiety.
The findings may have implications for future therapeutics, believes Dr Wiech.
"If we were able to stimulate the prefrontal cortex through psychological intervention, medication or some other stimulus, we could help reduce the pain felt by a patient," she says. "However, we are still some way of this."
The team also analysed the subjects' outlook on life, examining whether they felt in control of their own lives. They found that whilst the subjects' outlook did not affect the anterolateral prefrontal cortex when they controlled the stimulus, when they were not able to stop the painful stimulation subjects with no control expectations were better at activating this brain region than those with a strong control belief.
The findings support the practice of "acceptance-based therapy" whereby doctors focus on training patients to cope with the pain rather than attempting to make the pain go away.
"Throughout our lives, we are taught that we should aim to take control of our lives, to get the best job, find the best partner," says Dr Wiech. "But sometimes we should accept what we have and make the most of it. Rather than constantly battling pain, our research supports the view that it is better to provide a patient with the tools to cope with his or her persistent pain."
The findings are welcomed by Pete Moore, lead trainer in pain management for the Expert Patients Programme Community Interest Company.
"This is interesting work by UCL. We have found that many people with pain are over achievers and tend to do more than they have to. This is why when people with persistent pain attend an Expert Patients Programme they are provided with a toolbox of self-management skills to support them to manage their day-to-day pain."
The Wellcome Trust Centre for Neuroimaging at UCL – formerly the Functional Imaging Laboratory – has recently been awarded a Strategic Award of £6.74 million funding over five years by the Wellcome Trust. The award will further bolster the reputation of a laboratory already renowned for its research into the neural basis of human cognition, work which is extending our understanding of common neurological and psychiatric diseases, such as schizophrenia and dementia.

Rady, if you were pointing to Austarlias game, I am in agreeance but in saying that, we had at least 30-35 minutes with an extra man and we never looked like getting that elusive goal. Italy's defence was as good as you will ever see and Australia lacked the brilliance of Harry Kewell being out and even Brett Emerton.
Lucas Neill was very unlucky to have that 'dive' call against him in the final seconds but he had a great tournament none-the-less and has been welcomed back to Australia today a hero.
I think Wayne Rooney will cop a bit in England after seeing his incident. Not very good at all!!

Cubs Loom as Sox Wing Their Way Home From Cali
The quick two-game road trip to the left coast, between the pair of games against the Tigers last Monday and Tuesday and the upcoming weekend series at Wrigley beginning tomorrow, ended today in a split. At least the plane trip home will be a pleasant one.
Speaking of pleasant, the offense woke up in the 6-1 victory over the Angels. The red-hot A.J. Pierzynski pounded out three hits with two RBIs and four players had two hits apiece: Adam Dunn (2 RBIs), Paul Konerko (RBI), Alex Rios and Alexei Ramirez. Dayan Viciedo, who is on a tear, added his sixth home run.
Chris Sale got credit for this fourth victory, pitching 5 1/3 innings. The only run he surrendered came on Albert Pujols third homer, his second in two days. Nate Jones (1 1/3 innings), Matt Thornton and Jesse Crain ( an inning apiece) closed the door the rest of the way with a scoreless 3 2/3.
Now, the Cubs.

CAIRO (Reuters) - A bomb on a tourist bus in Egypt's Sinai killed at least two South Koreans and the Egyptian driver on Sunday, army and security sources said, in the first attack on tourists since an army takeover in July spurred an Islamist insurgency.
The Interior Ministry said the bus was travelling from St. Catherine's Monastery, a popular tourist destination in the south Sinai, to nearby Israel when it was attacked.
It did not state the cause of the blast, in which another 24 people were wounded. Two security sources said a bomb had been detonated either inside or near the bus.
"This is a terrorist act that was carried out with an explosive device," said an army source. Egyptian officials use the word "terrorist" to describe Islamist militants.
Presidential spokesman Ehab Badawy called the attack a "despicable act of cowardice directed at innocent tourists".
Al Qaeda-inspired Islamist militants based in the largely lawless Sinai peninsula have stepped up attacks on security forces since army chief Field Marshal Abdel Fattah al-Sisi ousted Islamist President Mohamed Mursi in July after mass protests against his rule.
If militants were behind Sunday's bombing, it would mark a shift in strategy to attacking "softer" tourist and economic targets. Egypt's vital tourism industry has already been hit hard by three years of political turmoil and street protests.
Sisi, who is expected to announce his candidacy for the presidency soon, had hoped a political road map unveiled after Mursi's overthrow would stabilize Egypt, which has a peace treaty with Israel and controls the Suez Canal, a busy world shipping channel on the Sinai's western edge.
South Korea's Foreign Ministry confirmed the two deaths of two of its nationals and said nine people had been wounded. It said 32 South Koreans were on the bus and that the tourists were Christians from the same church in South Korea.
The attack revived memories of an Islamist uprising in the 1990s that often targeted tourists and took years for then-president Hosni Mubarak to crush.
"I hope this will be an isolated incident that will not recur," Egyptian Tourism Minister Hisham Zaazou told Reuters. "All the rest of the country is safe and secure, and what happened can happen anywhere in the world."
Islamist militants launch near-daily attacks on security forces in northern Sinai, while the south, with its many Red Sea resorts, had been seen as a relatively safe tourist destination.
In 2004, a bombing at the Sinai resort of Taba killed 34 people, including Israeli tourists.
State television showed a photograph of the bus, its windows smashed and the roof partially torn off. Black smoke billowed from the site of the explosion on a palm tree-lined boulevard.
The blast occurred as Mursi, Egypt's first freely elected leader, appeared in court on charges of conspiring with foreign groups to commit terrorist acts.
His Muslim Brotherhood says it is a peaceful group and denies any links with insurgents, who since July have also attacked targets in Cairo and other cities outside Sinai.
"The militants in Sinai are now looking for soft targets, without entering confrontation with police and armed forces, who have taken precautions," said Mustapha Kamel Al-Sayid, a professor of political science at Cairo University.
"This is a cheap win for them without a high risk."
While the army-installed government has driven the Brotherhood underground, it is struggling to cope with the militants in the Sinai, despite repeated army offensives.
The militants are scattered around a desert and mountain landscape they have mastered. Close links with bedouins and smugglers in the Sinai, an impoverished area long neglected by the central government, help them avoid capture.
The most prominent Sinai-based group, Ansar Bayt al-Maqdis, has claimed responsibility for several bombings, including an attempt to kill the interior minister in Cairo last year. The organization also said it was behind a missile attack on a military helicopter last month that killed five soldiers.
Egyptian authorities have declared the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist group and lump it together with the Sinai militants.
The Brotherhood condemned the attack on the bus, and said it would boycott the forthcoming presidential election.
"The military-backed authorities have, once again, failed to uphold their duty of protection and care towards visitors and Egyptian citizens alike," it said in a statement issued by its London media office.

A Foreclosure Crisis
Problems with mortgage foreclosures have been in the headlines during the past several months. The media attention arises from several concerns. One concern relates to whether lending institutions have followed proper foreclosure procedure. Another reflects a popular misconception among many that a mortgage can become separated from the note it secures. Yet another concern arises out of the complexity of some of the structured transactions involving the mortgages.

Each Wednesday at 6:30 pm the church bus transports the youth to this week's mystery destination. They do not know where they are going in advance and once they reach this mystery destination they are hosted to a quick meal by one of the congregation's families. Following the food, they are lead in Bible study by a team of three WPC members who are committed to providing an experience that fosters spiritual development. This is intended to broaden connections between the youth and adult membership of WPC as well as supplement the Sunday Youth Bible Study, should competing schedules make Sunday attendance difficult.

See for yourself. Our anemic economic performance since 2007 is . . . the best in the world?
Yes, it's still a slow recovery that has yet to restore full employment, but, except for Germany, we've done better than any of our counterparts in Europe that also experienced a financial crisis.
"The ordinary will be considered extraordinary."
I was going to say something about the folly of austerity policies (spending cuts and tax increases) during an economic slump, which is true insofar as US budget policy has been only mildly contractionary while our European counterparts have embraced austerity and all but one have sick economies to show for it, but that one is Germany, which was slightly ahead of the US as of 2013:Q2 (data for 2013:Q3 and Q4 were not available for the European countries). Germany's economy defies easy explanation. Maybe Germany should be Luke Wilson's character and the US can be Maya Rudolph's.

KU Otolaryngology: Grateful Patients
School of Medicine > Otolaryngology > Grateful Patients > Ezekiel and Elijah
Ezekiel and Elijah, Grateful Patients of Dr. Hinrich Staecker
Ezekiel and Elijah's journey to cochlear implantation began shortly after birth. As mandated by state law, all newborns are required to have their hearing screened prior to discharge from the hospital. Ezekiel and Elijah did not pass their newborn hearing screen and were referred on for further diagnostic testing. Subsequent testing revealed significant hearing loss in both ears and the possibility of cochlear implantation came into question. The twins were referred on to University of Kansas Hospital, ENT Department, for cochlear implant consultation. They immediately began a hearing aid trial, as all children do prior to determining candidacy. All this happened before the age of 1!
In the midst of their hearing aid trial, the boys were medically worked up to determine cause of hearing loss. It was discovered that the cause of their hearing loss was Connexin 26. Hearing aids were found to provide minimal benefit, although not enough to develop speech and language as their normal hearing peers would. Cochlear implantation was the best option to achieve this outcome. After careful consideration, the family decided that they wanted to pursue cochlear implantation for the twins. Dr. Hinrich Staecker performed the surgery.
Initial activation of the external processor happened in February 2011 and each child responded well to the new sound. They are babbling and making sounds far more now than they did with their hearing aids. The boys are receiving intervention services through multiple sources to work on learning to listen with the implants and learning to develop speech and language.
Given the early age of identification of hearing loss, hearing aid trial, and obtaining cochlear implants close to the age of 1, the success with cochlear implants is high. With reprogramming of the external equipment frequently, enrollment in intervention services, and parental involvement, the twins will most likely catch up in terms of language and speech development to their normal hearing peers and be mainstreamed by the time they reach kindergarten.
"Although the prospect of surgery was scary after doing research on the procedure and our other alternatives I felt it was the best option for my boys and for our family," Marla, mother of Elijah and Ezekiel.

Advice on backing up files during projects
- Suppose you make a mistake and need to undo some changes.
- This is handled by you in your own file space using version-control software (RCS, Subversion, etc).
- Ensure you have enough disc quota to make backups!
- Suppose the discs crash and all on-line data is lost.
- This is handled by nightly/weekly/monthly dumps managed by the Service as part of their provision of sound facilities.
- Suppose you want to save a copy of your project after the end of the course.
- The University is not normally responsible for this. Projects need to be kept on-line until the class list is out, but after that they become your private responsibility.
Note that if there has to be a recovery from backups after a major disc failure it is likely to cause a delay. Build this possibility into your schedule!

The Insane Boys Blew It
America Lost and Found: The BBS Story
The death of the old Hollywood studio system can be traced back to a short, single-column advertisement that appeared in The Hollywood Reporter and Daily Variety on September 8, 1965:
Folk & Roll Musicians-Singers
For acting roles in new TV series.
Running parts for 4 insane boys, age 17–21.
Want spirited Ben Frank's-types.
Have courage to work.
Must come down for interview.
Embedded in these lines were code phrases designed to appeal to young men with certain countercultural tendencies. "Insane boys," for instance, meant "boys who like doing drugs." "Ben Frank's" was an all-night diner on the Sunset Strip where musicians would hang out after the clubs had closed and wait for the drugs to wear off. "Have courage to work" meant "Have courage to abstain from drugs while we film the series." Finally, "Must come down for interview" was not instructing applicants to appear in person; it meant "When you come for the interview, try not to be on drugs."
The ad was placed by two young television executives: Bert Schneider, whose father Abe was the chairman of Columbia Pictures, and Bob Rafelson. Their idea was to make a television version of the Beatles' A Hard Day's Night. It would be a goofball sitcom about the misadventures of four mop-headed teens who play in a rock band called the Monkees, which was created for the show. The series ran for two years and was an enormous ratings success. The Monkees sold twenty-three million records in a year, outselling the Rolling Stones and the Beatles during that period. (The songs performed by the "Prefab Four" were in fact written by Carole King, Neil Diamond, and the duo of Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart.) Rafelson and Schneider, now millionaires, started Raybert, a film production company. Drawing from the Monkees fortune, Raybert financed two films: the first, directed by Rafelson, was a psychedelic movie about the Monkees, called Head. The second was a much lower-budget biker movie, tentatively called The Loners, pitched by two actors, Dennis Hopper and Peter Fonda.
The Monkees were soon mocked for not having played on their own recordings; Head closed in five days. The biker movie, which was ultimately released as Easy Rider, was shown at the Cannes Film Festival, where Hopper won the award for best film by a new director. It opened at the Beekman Theater in New York on July 14, 1969, and went on to make more than $19 million at the box office—roughly forty times its budget. The studios had experienced a steady, ten-year decline in revenue, and they were, as Joan Didion wrote in these pages at the time, "narcotized" by Easy Rider's success.* Peter Fonda joked that when the film became a hit, Columbia executives stopped shaking their heads in…

Given Japan's idiosyncratic personal data protection laws and a current obsession with privacy, these computers offer security against unauthorised access by including a fingerprint reader that can also replace password logins for OS or applications. The USB port can also be locked so that only devices approved by an administrator can be connected and used.
The FMV-U8240's right-hand side
As well as wired Ethernet, the FMV-U8240 sports a built-in Wi-Fi adapter, but I searched in vain for a Bluetooth function. Given that USB, CompactFlash and SD cards are all available, maybe this won't prove too much of a loss, but the ability to use a cellular phone as a modem via Bluetooth or to print wirelessly using built-in hardware seems a surprising omission. On the other hand, there are cellular and PHS adapters available, and public Wi-Fi access is becoming more prevalent in larger cities in Japan.

Battery life is rated at about four hours of use, but an optional high-capacity battery can double that figure.
The chipset is Intel's Ultra Mobile Platform 2007 using the A110 processor clocked at a modest 800 MHz - though the slower clock speed does mean that the semi-rubberized non-slip case doesn't get too hot. A 20GB hard disk stores data, and ¥144,000 (just over £600) buys you the model with 512MB of memory and XP installed. For ¥164,000 (£685) you get a full gigabyte of RAM, and this is also the price for the Vista 1GB model.

A representation of numbers signifying different data sets. Graphs are vitally important in tracking past performance of economic data with the aim of predicting its future behavior. For example, a government agency may create a graph of unemployment claims over time. If claims have trended downward, the agency may predict that unemployment may remain low. Graphs are also crucial for technical analysts, who use them to track securities' performance to help make investment decisions. Graphs are also known as charts.

Freezing rain and sleet closed schools and caused hundreds of wrecks across North Carolina on Friday.
Updated at 5:38 p.m.
CHARLOTTE � Freezing rain and sleet closed schools and caused hundreds of wrecks across North Carolina on Friday.
Two rounds of sleet and freezing rain crossed the state, leaving a thin coat of ice, which was enough to bring about every major highway in the state to a standstill for a time.
The storm has caused no deaths, and only scattered power outages have been reported.
Icy conditions were at their worst Friday afternoon, and traffic was moving less than 30 mph on much of Interstate 40 from Winston-Salem to Raleigh and Interstate 85 from Charlotte to Durham, according to the Department of Transportation.
Charlotte police were responding to dozens of calls of cars overturned, with similar problems being reported in Asheville, Winston-Salem, Greensboro, Durham and Raleigh.
With temperatures in the 20s, it didn't take long for the rain to freeze. Doug Hopkins stopped at a gas station in Kings Mountain to buy some cigarettes. By the time he came back out, his car was coated in ice.
�That didn't take long,� the 28-year-old construction worker said.
Traffic crept along I-85 south of Charlotte as several people driving too fast for conditions spun off the road or into other vehicles.
�When it gets like this, people drive crazy,� Hopkins said. �You want to stay off the roads. You can get hurt.�
The heaviest freezing rain and sleet was moving into the eastern part of the state as the sun went down. All but eight counties in the southeast corner of the state are under some kind of winter weather advisory or warning. Most areas reported a coating of ice a tenth of an inch or less on railings, power lines and limbs, according to the National Weather Service.
Road conditions would have been much worse if crews hadn't work for days to get ready for the storm, said DOT spokeswoman Nicole Meister.
But just because the freezing rain and sleet was coming to an end didn't mean problems were over for drivers. Temperatures won't rise above freezing in much of the state until late Saturday morning or even into the afternoon, forecasters said.
�We're really worried about the potential for black ice tonight and tomorrow morning,� Meister said.
But the chill won't last too long. Forecasters say highs in much of North Carolina should be in the 60s by Tuesday.
RALEIGH � It has started snowing in northwestern North Carolina.
The National Weather Service has issued a winter weather advisory for most of the state until late Friday night or early Saturday.
Many schools in North Carolina plan to let students go home early before the storm.
Snow began falling around 8 a.m. in the Boone area. Forecasters say up to 4 inches of snow is possible at the higher elevations.
Only 1 or 2 inches of snow and sleet were expected elsewhere.
Snow, sleet and freezing rain was expected to start around midday Friday.
The state transportation department warned that icy road conditions were expected and urged drivers to use caution.

Video Games Live and PBS are joining forces to create an exclusive nationwide PBS special based around the highly successful Video Games Live concert series. The breakthrough performance will be taped on February 5th, 2010 at the Lakefront Arena in New Orleans with the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra and is slated to begin airing in June 2010 on PBS stations. Tickets for the performance will be going on sale Friday, December 18 at 10am CST.
Reaching an average of over 58 million viewers a week, PBS is the most prominent provider of programming to U.S. public television stations. "We believe the concept of introducing young audiences to an orchestra through the music of video games fits perfectly with PBS's mission in a very new and creative way," said PBS Vice-President of Programming Joe Campbell. "We are very optimistic that the program will be a big success!"
Recently described by the New York Times as "Captivating!" and "Bombastic!", the record breaking and award winning Video Games Live has continued its mission to demonstrate to the world how artistic and culturally significant video games and their music have become. Performing to sold-out crowds around the globe, Video Games Live has been thrilling gamers, families and mainstream audiences since its initial inception in 2002. "This is an incredible opportunity for us to reach an audience that normally may not be familiar with how far video games have come and how amazing the music can be," said prolific game composer and CEO of Video Games Live, Tommy Tallarico. "It's an honor for us to be a part of such a groundbreaking event with PBS and I'm really excited about the potential positive effects this will have on the entire game industry and its millions of fans."
The Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra is the only musician-owned and collaboratively managed professional symphony in the United States. The members of the LPO are dedicated to creating live symphonic music and maintaining a resident full-time orchestra that serves as an integral part of the cultural and educational life of New Orleans and the Gulf South region. "What could be more fun than to be part of this performance phenomenon," says Babs Mollere, Managing Director of the LPO. "Our musicians are looking forward to being part of an interactive evening of music and video footage with fans of all ages."
A companion DVD and Blu-Ray will be made available in 2010 which will showcase additional segments and many special extras including behind the scenes footage, making of Video Games Live, interactive angles, exclusive game developer and composer interviews, special never before seen game trailers and much more. This will be the first time a video game concert DVD and Blu-Ray will be distributed worldwide. Also being released will be the follow-up to the award winning Video Games Live: Volume One CD which debuted on the Billboard Charts at #10 in 2008. Video Games Live: Volume Two will include many of the new segments included over the past two years as well as some of the most popular classics. All products are scheduled to be released in the summer of 2010 following an exclusive window of availability through PBS.
Tickets for the performance start at $15 and can be purchased beginning at 10am CST on Friday, December 18 by visiting ticketmaster.com, calling 1-800-745-3000 or at the Lakefront Arena Box Office.

*SNORT!!* That's hilarious! I'm not laughing at you...okay, I guess I am. I can totally relate, if it makes you feel better - we've had entire rolls of TP end up in the toilet before. Or shredded into bits by little fingers meticulously picking at it. Or unrolled onto the floor to see just how high a toddler can pile it before it collapses.
Just wait until he's TP-ing OTHER people's houses...LOL

I have thought about investing in a type of toilet paper roll that only pulls out a certain amount at a time. I think they have them at Bed Bath and Beyond and Linens and Things. As I say about my Pearl, God knows to make the ornery ones extra cute or else....

Baltimore Ravens Beat The New England Patriots 28-13 in the AFC Championship
In a rematch of last season's AFC Championship game, the Baltimore Ravens this time come away the victors, and beat the New England Patriots.
New England never really seemed to be in this game. New England was hit by a few costly injuries that really took them out of the game. The offense never really got going for Tom Brady and company, and a costly interception in the fourth quarter just put the game far out of reach. Brady threw for 320 yards, but two late interceptions will be what people take away from this game.
Joe Flacco threw for 240 yards and 3 touchdowns in the win, and two of those went to Anquan Bolden who had 60 yards. Dennis Pitta also had a touchdown. Pitta grabbed five receptions for 55 yards. Ray Rice had 48 yards and a touchdown on the ground for Baltimore.
The Ravens will meet up with the San Francisco 49ers in the Super Bowl. John Harbaugh taking on his brother Jim Harbaugh

Ike Opara, the No. 3 pick in the 2010 SuperDraft who quickly established himself as a leading Rookie of the Year candidate, suffered a broken left foot in the San Jose Earthquakes' 1-0 loss to Seattle Sounders FC on Saturday. The break will require surgery to correct and could cost Opara several weeks' worth of playing time.
Opara, an All-American at Wake Forest who earned a starting spot coming out of training camp, is not expected to undergo surgery until late this week or early next week, and the team offered no official timetable as to when he might return. One team source said similar injuries suffered by other players led to absences of six to eight weeks, but stressed those figures are not based on the specifics of Opara's break, which was revealed by X-rays taken Monday.
Combine Opara's injury with the fact that fellow rookie Steven Beitashour suffered a broken right hand during training on Monday – another injury that will require surgery – and San Jose's roster situation has become dicey. After the release Monday of midfielder Javier Robles and Omar Jasseh's sabbatical with the Gambia Under-20 National Team, San Jose have only 16 available players heading into their road trip to Colorado on Saturday.
Although it's expected Beitashour will be able to play with a cast after undergoing surgery, he and Opara are officially out for this weekend, which means the Quakes will most likely have to move Brandon McDonald from his holding center midfield spot to pair with Bobby Burling at center back.
In addition to Opara and Beitashour, right back Chris Leitch is also out, due to a left hip strain suffered against Tottenham two weeks ago, so sliding Jason Hernandez over from right back to the middle seems unlikely. The team could use rookie Justin Morrow, but he has played almost exclusively on the left side for them to this point.
It was not immediately clear when Opara, who has scored three goals this season as a set-piece threat, suffered the injury, since he played all 90 minutes against the Sounders.
Opara went down briefly in the 47th minute without being touched, but that appeared to be more because he was surprised at being struck in the face by the ball after closing late on Fredy Montero – the pass having skipped off Montero's head and catching Opara flush on the cheek.
Opara did land awkwardly on the play, however, and lay on the ground, hands covering his face, for approximately 15 seconds before being helped up by Bobby Convey.

A recent Harvard University graduate and her partner, who traveled together internationally doing humanitarian work, were among the dozens killed during the weekend terrorist attack at an upscale shopping mall in Kenya.
Elif Yavuz, a 33-year-old native of the Netherlands who earned a doctor of science degree from Harvard's School of Public Health in May, died during the attacks in Nairobi, Harvard officials said. She was expecting to give birth to her first child next month.
"She was excited to be a mom," said Jessica Cohen, who was Yavuz's thesis adviser and among the many friends who were mourning her death Monday.
Yavuz was working in Tanzania as a senior vaccines researcher at the Clinton Health Access Initiative, a global organization chaired by former president Bill Clinton. She was preparing to publish dissertation research she completed while studying for her degree through the Department of Global Health and Population at Harvard.
Cohen, an assistant professor in the department, called her "one of the brightest students we've ever had."
"She was incredibly warm and funny and she really did great work," Cohen said by phone Monday.
Yavuz and her partner, architect Ross Langdon, had traveled to Nairobi because she was due to give birth soon and the city is home to an esteemed maternity hospital, Cohen said. Langdon was also killed during the attack.
"She felt safe, as many of us do, in that part of Nairobi," added Cohen, who has visited the city and the mall where the attacks happened. "It's a common place to visit for people who are working on development projects or for NGOs or nonprofits."
Yavuz and Langdon were among at least 62 people killed in the assault Saturday by some 12 to 15 al-Shabab militants. The attackers wielded grenades and fired on civilians inside the mall, which includes shops for such retail giants as Nike, Adidas, and Bose.
The militants specifically targeted non-Muslims, and at least 18 foreigners were among the dead, including six Britons and citizens from France, Canada, the Netherlands, Australia, Peru, India, Ghana, South Africa, and China, the Associated Press reported. Nearly 200 people were wounded, including five US residents, the AP said.
Kenyan security forces battled the terrorists Monday as the siege continued.
Yavuz studied at Harvard for the past five years, though she spent a lot of time working on research and projects abroad, according to Cohen. Her thesis focused on malaria prevention and treatment in eastern Africa.
Yavuz recently met Clinton through her role with the Clinton Health Access Initiative, friends said. A picture, widely circulated on social media Monday and reportedly from Yavuz's Facebook page, showed her shaking hands with Clinton.
In a statement, Clinton, Hillary Rodham Clinton, and their daughter Chelsea said they were "shocked and terribly saddened" by Yavuz's death in the "senseless" attacks.
"Elif devoted her life to helping others, particularly people in developing countries suffering from malaria and HIV/AIDS," the Clintons' statement said. "Elif was brilliant, dedicated, and deeply admired by her colleagues, who will miss her terribly."
Julio Frenk, dean of Harvard's public health school, said in an e-mail to faculty, staff, and students that Yavuz committed her life to helping people in need.
"Her compassion was an inspiration to everyone she touched at HSPH and the broader global community in which she lived and worked," Frenk wrote.
She graduated in 2004 from Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies.
Family, friends, and colleagues who knew the couple posted tributes online Monday.
Langdon, a codirector of the architecture firm Regional Associates, was also involved in humanitarian efforts.
Peter Adams, a longtime friend of Langdon's who lives in Tasmania, remembered the couple in a post on his blog Monday.
"Both had dedicated their lives to working for a peaceful world. Both had so much to offer," Adams wrote. "Besides a personal loss for myself, this is a major global loss."
Langdon was about to start working on a $35 million museum and had designed an AIDs hospital in Kenya, Adams said.
Cohen said she hopes to publish their near-complete research. "I think she would want the fruit of her work to come out," Cohen said.
