Cast in Croydon The bell, to be enshrined in Berlin Oct. 24. United Nations day, was cast in Croydon, England, birthplace of our Liberty bell. It is presently being taken all over the nation on the crusade tour. The Freedom scrolls signed in this country will all be placed on exhibition with the bell in Germany at the most extreme point of penetration of the American zone into Iron Curtain territory. Noted American designer Walter Teague designed the bell, which' dramatically depots the five races of mankind passing the torch of freedom from one to another. Scrolls On Campus Inscribed on the bell is the paraphrase of Lincoln's Gettysburg address: "That this world under God shall have a new birth of Freedom." j The bell, which can be heard at the distance of two miles, will ring out all during the day calling SC i students to sign the Freedom J scrolls. Scrolls will be placed at conven- i ient spots all over the campus tomorrow and for the remainder of the week to facilitate signing. The beJl arrives in Los Angeles at 7 tomorrow mornmg when it wiil be immediately brought to Exposition boulevard. At 4:30 in the afternoon it leaves for Phoenix. Campus police after issuing warnings to students parking cars in restricted zones on campus will have those cars towed away, Dr. Albert Zech, counselor of men. said yesterday. The repeated violators will be charged the approximate $20 towing cost, he said. Their names and -liaense numbers also will be submitted to the counselor of men's office for possible action by the Men's Judicial council.

Knights, delegated to care for him, finally had him put into semi-retirement at a nearby animal shelter, where he went from bad to worse. Last June Tirebiter refused to recognize any but three of his closest friends. He snapped aangerous-ly at everyone else. Just Found Out "I didn't know about George's death until recently." Arnold Eddy, general manager of the ASSC. told the DT yesterday. "Bill Hubbard, the alumnus who was taking care of him, didn't think it was very important." The DT learned of George's death from Dan Schiavone, president of the Knights, who were responsible for taking care of him. When asked routinely, "How's Tirebiter getting along?" he said, * George is dead." Joint Decision Tirebiter had been sent to the farm by a joint dtcision of Dean of Students Bernard L. Hyink, Eddy, and George Prusseli, past president of the Kniglits. George had refused to recognize even his friends in the shelter where he was confined. Hubbard contacted at his El Centro farm, said he didn't know the details of George's death. "I was in Europe at the time." he said to DT City Editor Phil Adamsak over the phone. His footprints are in the memorial concrete block alongside those of Morley Drury, Ernie Pinkert, and other SC greats, but his mighty, throaty bark is gone.

2008 Clubs of the Year announced
Colorado Springs, Colo. (December 22, 2008)—USA Cycling has announced the recipients of its annual Club of the Year awards. Ten USA Cycling-sanctioned clubs received recognition for outstanding programs throughout the 2008 season and will receive complimentary registration fees for the 2009 racing season.
Clubs were judged on several key areas including race promotion, membership composition, instructional clinics and seminars, club activities, charitable contributions and racing performance.
Of USA Cycling's 2,216 member clubs, approximately 76 applied for consideration in 10 separate categories.
Three primary clubs were recognized based on membership size (Division I = 76+ members, Division II = 30-75 members and Division III = 1-29 members), while seven additional clubs were awarded with the Club of the Year designation based on specific categories – mountain bike, collegiate, track, new club, women's, master's, and junior/high school.
Receiving Division I Club of the Year honors was the Los Gatos Bicycle Racing Club (LGBRC) (Saratoga, Calif.) The LGBRC exemplified a model cycling club across several categories including community involvement, clinics and seminars, junior programs and much more. The club promotes the Cat's Hill Classic which is a 36-year-old criterium that takes places in downtown Los Gatos and features a variety of community activities, including a free children's race. The club also hosts the Timpani Criterium in Santa Clara where the race serves as a fundraiser for the group's junior development program.
From an educational perspective, the LGBRC conducted multiple clinics and seminars that focused on several key areas including junior and women's development, specific skills and racing tactics. The club also facilitates a mentoring program and hosts regular training sessions at the Hellyer Velodrome.
The Division I Club of the Year also held regular training rides targeted at specific groups including juniors. As the top fundraising team at the 2008 Tour de Cure, a variety of fundraisers are also an ongoing part of the club's culture. On the first Monday of each month the LGBRC holds team meetings to review sponsor support, race results, club events and membership statistics and cover any emerging issues. The club also publishes a quarterly newsletter, The Catalyst, which contains race reports, photos, race results and more.
The LGBRC boasts 185 members, with nearly half of those either junior or female riders. The LGBRC also earned 60 race victories, 174 top-three results and over 400 top-10 results in 2008.
Last year's Division III Club of the Year, the Cross Creek Cycling Club (Fayetteville, N.C.), moved up to the Division II ranks this season and was promptly awarded that category's highest honor. No stranger to awards, the club has also earned Best New Club of the Year in 2004 and Master's Club of the Year in 2005. Also in 2007 and again this season, the Cross Creek Cycling Club was named USA Cycling's Master's Club of the Year for its contributions to programs that cater to riders aged 30 and up.
Cross Creek promotes the North Carolina State Criterium Championships and hosted 36 educational clinics and seminars focused on junior development, cyclo-cross, bike safety and more. The group also held a USA Cycling Officials Clinic where 13 members became certified class-three officials. Cross Creek also prides itself on its contributions to several charitable organizations including Operation Spin Cycle, the Wounded Warrior Project, Ride Without Limits, Special Olympics and many more.
USA Cycling also chose the Cross Creek Cycling Club as its Master's Club of the Year this season because of its master's-related programs and initiatives. Cross Creek features a master's program that places juniors under the watchful mentorship of several master's riders. Following the completion of each race, the club's master members provide valuable feedback to the developing riders. The club also conducted 10 mentorship rides in 2008.
The Division III Club of the Year was earned by the Sorella Cycling Club (Atlanta, Ga.). The promoters of the Georgia International Horse Park Cyclo-cross Race and the Georgia Cross Series also received high marks for its contribution to the sport by hosting 24 clinics and seminars. Sorella, which is made up of 27 USA Cycling licensed female members, is also extremely active in charitable causes, including the creation of cycling guides for wheelchair racers of the ING Marathon, trail maintenance work, a central homeless shelter night and more.
Black Bear Cycling (Sussex, N.J.) repeated as USA Cycling's Mountain Bike Club of the Year. The promoter of the Wawayanda Spring Cleaning mountain bike race in Hewitt, N.J., Black Bear Cycling featured four clinics throughout the season focusing on bike safety. The club's members enjoyed several competitive successes throughout the season with podium finishes at the USA Cycling Mountain Bike National Championships and the Campmor H2H MTB Race Series. Not only does the group maintain a high level of visibility in the regional racing scene, but has an exemplary volunteer record, partnering with two state park administrations and local high schools. Club members also logged more than 300 hours in volunteer trail work in 2008 alone.
The United States Air Force Academy (Colorado Springs, Colo.) was named USA Cycling Collegiate Club of the Year. The school hosted the Front Range Cycling Classic Road Race and Time Trial and co-sponsored the USA Cycling Collegiate Track National Championships. The USAFA club hosted a week-long training camp, four weekend-long, discipline-specific training camps and 16 different cycling seminars. A series of membership drives, training events, banquets and tours also highlighted the club's 2008 season. The group, whose mission is to develop exceptional young men and women into leaders of character through competitive cycling and to take a lead role in developing cycling conscious policies across the U.S. Air Force, also accomplished several team goals, including securing a fully functioning on-campus bicycle shop, developing a comprehensive club handbook and a nutritional analysis program. The team, comprised strictly of undergraduates, also started a "Borrow a Bike" program which offers free use of team bicycles, maintains a mentorship program which matches upperclassmen with newcomers, promotes cycling for fitness and offers weekly clinics. From a competitive standpoint, the USAFA competed in more than 70 USA Cycling sanctioned races racking up 32 wins and 206 top-ten placings, including a fifth-place finish in the men's team time trial at the USA Cycling Collegiate Road National Championships.
For the fifth consecutive year, the Track Club of the Year award went to the Hammer Racing Team (Littleton, Colo.). The club annually promotes its Hammer Time Trial Day at the Track – an opportunity for beginners to expose themselves to track racing without the intimidation factor of mass-start racing. Hammer Racing also works with the Colorado Velodrome Association to conduct beginners' and women's clinics, including a five-week long in-depth course. The group also hosts weekly training rides and track training sessions. At the 2008 USA Cycling Master Track National Championships, Hammer Racing Team members came home with two national titles and a Best All-Around Rider award. Hammer Racing also saw one of its riders grab the silver medal at the UCI Masters Track World Championships in Sydney, Australia and another win the Colorado Velodrome Association Rider of the Year award. Hammer Racing also donated it's time to assist with regional bike races for the Special Olympics.
The USA Cycling Women's Club of the Year went to the Velo Girls Bicycle Club (San Mateo, Calif.). The club has 20 USA Cycling licensed racers and boasts more than 300 members, all women. The club supports Team Velo Girls, which includes road, mountain bike and cyclo-cross riders and also added a development team, Tri-Flow, in 2008. The group also offers a very active calendar of events with organized rides, numerous clinics and seminars across a wide range of topics and also promotes the Tri-Flow Menlo Park Grand Prix and the Friday Nights Live track racing series at the Hellyer Velodrome in San Jose, Calif. Velo Girls also organizes and participates in various charitable activities including Bike to Work Day, NCNCA Race Mentoring, Turning Wheels for Kids and more.
Finally, Red Zone Cycling (Louisville, Ky.) collected awards for both Best New Club of the Year and Junior/High School Club of the Year. The junior-specific cycling club and team not only helps train the next generation of cyclists, but helped organize and promote the Kentucky State Cyclo-cross Championships. The 23 licensed member group regularly hosts officials' clinics to educate parents on the sport and rules of cycling. The team also holds regular training rides as well as cross training sessions and boasted 73 wins across various junior divisions in 2008.
USA Cycling would like to thank the 2008 Clubs of the Year for their exemplary conduct in areas of race promotion, membership composition, clinics and seminars, club activities, racing performance and charitable contributions.

MONDAY, May 16, 2011 (HealthDay News) -- Telemedicine -- the care of patients by health care professionals located remotely -- may benefit intensive care unit patients, new U.S. research shows.
ICUs that implemented a telemedicine intervention had lower mortality rates, lower rates of preventable complications and shorter hospital and ICU stays, according to researchers at the University of Massachusetts Medical School in Worcester.
The study, slated for presentation Monday at a meeting of the American Thoracic Society, is published online May 16 in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
The research "provides important direction for how to best apply telemedicine in intensive care," said Dr. Jeremy M. Kahn, of the University of Pittsburgh, in an accompanying JAMA editorial.
Tele-ICU clinicians use audio, video and electronic links to assist bedside caregivers in monitoring patients and to help direct their care. In this study, health care professionals working remotely monitored 6,290 adults admitted to ICUs at two campuses of an academic medical centers from April 2005 to September 2007.
Among other things, the tele-ICU clinicians:
- Reviewed the care of individual patients
- Audited adherence to best practice guidelines for critical care
- Monitored tests for abnormal results and responses to electronic alerts and in-room alarms
- Intervened and initiated lifesaving therapy if the response time was too long or patients appeared unstable
Researchers found the hospital mortality rate dropped from 13.6 percent to 11.8 percent once tele-ICU intervention was in place.
The ICU mortality rate fell from 10.7 percent to 8.6 percent for the tele-ICU group. The length of a hospital stay declined from 13.3 days to 9.8 days in the tele-ICU group, while the length of an ICU stay shrank from 6.4 days to 4.5 days.
Moreover, the study revealed that the tele-ICU intervention period was associated with higher rates of adherence to best clinical practices than the preintervention period for prevention of deep vein thrombosis, stress ulcers and ventilator-associated pneumonia.
Lower rates of preventable complications were also noted for ventilator-associated pneumonia and catheter-related blood stream infection. In addition, best practice adherence for cardiovascular protection was better in the tele-ICU period, the researchers said.
The results were similar for medical, surgical, and cardiovascular ICUs.
Patients in the tele-ICU group were also 8 percent more likely to go home, 6 percent less likely to go to a rehabilitation or long-term care facility, and 2 percent more likely to go to a skilled nursing facility than patients in the traditional ICU group.
As patient needs and the costs associated with adult critical care have increased, more efficient methods of delivery of care, such as tele-ICUs, are needed, the study authors said.
"Telemedicine alone does not equate to quality improvement but is merely a tool for quality improvement," Kahn said in an American Medical Association news release. "It is important to define specific quality deficiencies in the target ICUs, and then design the telemedicine intervention specifically to address those deficiencies, akin to other types of quality improvement."

I was unhappy with the bath sheet I purchased. It was rather flimsy, especially considering the price I paid for it. Also, the art on the bath sheet was not nice and crisp and pretty like it looked in the image of it on the website. I would say it was rather muted and blurred looking. I bought it for a gift and was rather embarrassed when I saw what I actually received.

Hello Everyone
I did some quick searching but didn't find this exact question.
My wife and I are building a new 2 car detached garage. We currently don't own an electric car but can see us purchasing one in the near future. The Leaf is one of the cars we want to look at more closely.
So I have some general questions on charging to get some input from the user groups.
We are having a 200 amp electrical panel installed as part of the garage project that is dedicated solely for the garage. ( long story why but I don't want to bore folks)
So I have a few questions I would like to get feedback. Since this is new construction and we have a large panel, the sky is the limit.
Where is the best place to locate the 220 outlet (e,g, the front of the garage near the front of the car, the rear of the car or along the side) ?
Should we consider having two 220 outlets installed since that appears to be where vehicles are headed or is simple to share the same 220 outlet. I am not sure how many folks actually have 2 electric vehicles and maybe this is over thinking the question.
What size breaker should I tell the electrician to use? I have seen anything from 30 amp to 50 amps. Again, we have sufficient capacity and the cost differential between a 30 amp and 50 amp is nominal
Is there anything else we should consider and lessons learned from the group as far as electrical charging outlets or locations are concerned ?
Thanks in advance

Giroir Named Interim Executive Vice President
Brett P. Giroir, M.D., will assume the role of interim executive vice president for Texas A&M Health Science Center, effective Oct. 1, 2013, and will be nominated by Chancellor John Sharp to become the interim CEO for the health science center at the next regularly scheduled meeting of The Texas A&M University System Board of Regents.
"Dr. Giroir brings a wealth of experience that spans health care, biomedical sciences and academia, which ideally positions him to serve as a visionary leader for our health science center," said R. Bowen Loftin, Ph.D., president of the Texas A&M University. "Since its establishment in 1999, Texas A&M Health Science Center has matured into a statewide, comprehensive health-related institution that, with Dr. Giroir at the helm, is set to enter its next great chapter."
Giroir, an internationally renowned physician-scientist whose work has focused on life-threatening infectious diseases, joined the A&M System in 2008, most recently serving as vice chancellor for strategic initiatives. In that role, Giroir led the Texas A&M team that garnered the largest and most highly funded national award of a Center for Innovation in Advanced Development and Manufacturing (CIADM), with a potential contract value of approximately $3 billion over a 25-year span. One of only three such centers across the United States, the CIADM is a public-private partnership with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services designed to enhance the nation's emergency preparedness against emerging infectious diseases and other threats.
"It has been an honor and privilege to serve the A&M System for the past five years. As I embark on this new opportunity with the health science center, I look forward to focusing more intensely on my passion for improving patient care and public health," Giroir said. "Texas A&M Health Science Center is poised to become an international leader in patient-centered health care and medical research, and I am committed to serving the faculty, students and staff to attain our shared vision for our institution."
Giroir currently holds professorial appointments in the Texas A&M Health Science Center College of Medicine and in the Dwight Look College of Engineering. He also hold an adjunct professor appointment in the Bush School of Government and Public Service. He is a former tenured professor, endowed chair holder and associate dean at UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas. His U.S. government positions include service as the director of the Defense Sciences Office at DARPA, and chair of the Chemical and Biological Defense Panel for the Threat Reduction Advisory Committee for the U.S. Department of Defense. He is a magna cum laude graduate of Harvard University and an Alpha Omega Alpha graduate the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center.

Young Guns gear up
The Republican "Young Guns" are ready to rule, if they get the chance.
Since they first got the name seven years ago, allies and enemies of Eric Cantor, Paul Ryan and Kevin McCarthy are now beginning to jockey to prepare for potential changes at the top of the Republican power structure in the House.
Story Continued Below
Though publicly Speaker John Boehner has said he plans to keep the gavel in the next Congress, most players in Boehnerland think the speaker hasn't made up his mind about when he'll call it quits.
( PHOTOS: Paul Ryan through the years)
The Young Gun brand has helped groom a host of lawmakers in key roles, including three who are leading contenders in statewide contests.
Now there's a constant conversation on the Hill these days: What's the status of the original Young Guns? They all have their own limitations and strengths as they try to become a political and legislative alternative after years of messy inter-party battles.
The status of these power figures — and where they're headed — is the topic of endless speculation in Washington.
Eric Cantor
The 50-year-old Cantor of Virginia was ushered into leadership soon after winning his Richmond-area seat in 2000 and promptly became an integral player in the party hierarchy. He is a near lock for speaker if Boehner were to leave. He will continue serving as the loyal lieutenant as long as Boehner remains speaker.
( Also on POLITICO: What's the GOP's economic plan?)
Cantor's power: Cantor's agenda has given House Republicans something to do. He has broadened his portfolio from fiscal matters to issues like expanding medical research and attempting to help working families. He's also a master fundraiser who shares the wealth with colleagues.
And most important: The right flank respects him — for now.
"I have a very good relationship with Eric Cantor, yes," Rep. Raúl Labrador of Idaho said.
What he should watch out for: While Cantor appears to be in the safest position of anyone in the House GOP leadership, there is an unknown: Rep. Jeb Hensarling, a Texan who chairs the powerful Financial Services Committee.
( PHOTOS: 10 must-watch House races in 2014)
At a recent well-attended fundraiser at Carmine's in the Chinatown section of downtown Washington, an attendee openly asked Hensarling whether he would mount a leadership challenge.
The room fell silent, and after an awkward pause, someone interrupted by saying "How's your family?" Hensarling stood silent and responded, "Next question." Observers say he's holding his cards very close to the vest.
There's plenty of criticism of Cantor, ranging from members who say they have a tough time reading him to others who say they don't like how he exerts power when things aren't going smoothly. Cantor caused a minirevolt last week in the Republican Study Committee when he stripped the flood insurance legislation from Hensarling's Financial Services Committee.
( Also on POLITICO: IRS hearing explodes, GOP inches toward contempt)
Cantor declined POLITICO's request for an interview. Aides said they are not participating in stories about his potential future speakership. In fact, Cantor has limited much of his media exposure over the past few years, canceling his weekly pen-and-pad session because of contentious interactions with reporters and instead holding court privately with a smaller group of preferred journalists.
Cantor world: Cantor's ascension would give new significance to a number of players on K Street, most notably Williams & Jensen's Susan Hirschmann, who was a key figure for former House GOP whip Tom DeLay of Texas. Capitol Counsel's Kyle Nevins, Cantor's former deputy chief of staff, is also in Cantor's inner orbit. Arthur Brooks of the American Enterprise Institute has become a key figure in Cantor's policy world. Lobbyist John Emling of Citigroup will also see a boost with Cantor's ascension.
Other important Cantor advisers include Shimmy Stein of Blank Rome; Andrea Newman of Delta Air Lines; Rob Collins, executive director of the National Republican Senatorial Committee; and John Murray, a former communications aide whom Cantor's leadership PAC pays $10,000 a month for political advice.
( DRIVING THE DAY: Inside Reid, Cantor's power plays)
Kevin McCarthy
McCarthy, like Cantor, spent little time as a backbencher. Just two years after arriving in Washington as part of the class of 2006, Boehner tapped the now 49-year-old Californian to help write the platform for the 2008 Republican convention. The California Republican later penned the Pledge to America, a laundry list of promises that helped set the stage for the Republican majority in 2010. He was Cantor's deputy whip and became majority whip just four years into his tenure on Capitol Hill.
McCarthy's power: People like him. McCarthy's an affable, hardworking member of the House. Through whipping and nearly endless interaction with other members, he has forged close personal bonds with a wide swath of the House GOP.
His operation is bolstered by experienced senior staff. He has strong allies on his whip team, a large group of members who help him corral votes. His orbit in the Capitol include Reps. Patrick McHenry of North Carolina; Steve Southerland of Florida, who is close with conservatives; and Kay Granger of Texas.
Some in the anti-leadership crowd still feel indebted to McCarthy and leadership; they can vote against key bills with impunity because leadership cuts them loose, and the legislation still gets approved by the full House.
McCarthy hits the road to raise money for colleagues as much as anyone in the House. He has given almost $454,000 to incumbents and $77,500 to GOP challengers this cycle. He's visited 27 colleagues in their districts since 2012, and will hold 77 D.C. fundraisers for candidates and fellow GOP lawmakers. He has also helped recruit a huge number of House Republicans.
McCarthy has also tried to expand his legislative portfolio during his time as whip, actively pushing energy legislation and helping craft the party's alternative to Obamacare.
In an interview in his office on a recent snowy day, McCarthy forcefully said "Yes," when asked whether he would run for leadership again. Of course, whether Boehner remains in Congress will determine if McCarthy runs for majority whip or majority leader.

The latest New York Times' "Long Run" profile on Saturday's front page featured Rick Santorum ("A Passionate Persona Forged in a Brutal Defeat"), accused by reporter Katharine Seelye of having "contributed to the circuslike atmosphere" in the case of Terry Schiavo, the brain-damaged Florida woman involved in a controversial "right-to-die" case: "The spectacle left much of the public aghast."
One reason why the public felt that way was the coverage of liberal outlets like the Times, slanted heavily toward the view of Terry's husband Michael, who fiercely advocated pulling the plug.
Rick Santorum's prospects for re-election to the Senate were not rosy when friends and advisers urged him in 2005 not to risk making things worse.
Mr. Santorum, hurting politically in Pennsylvania because of his defense of the Iraq war and President George W. Bush, had written a book, "It Takes a Family." It was a blistering attack on liberal "elites" and what he saw as their moral relativism as well as "radical feminists" who, he said, had devalued mothers who preferred staying home rather than going to work.
His loss, by 17.4 percentage points, was the biggest for any incumbent senator in Pennsylvania since at least the Civil War, according to G. Terry Madonna, a political scientist at Franklin and Marshall College. That eyepopping margin is the chief reason that few people took Mr. Santorum seriously last year when he started running for president. How could he get elected anywhere after he had lost his own state so lopsidedly?
Mr. Santorum says he was caught in "a meltdown year" for Republicans, both in Pennsylvania and nationally. That was certainly true. In Pennsylvania, they lost most offices, including four Congressional seats. In Washington, they lost the House and control of the Senate.
But if the climate was harsh, Mr. Santorum was part of it. Always brash, he had become a more rancorous figure since he last faced the voters in 2000. He was No. 3 in his party's leadership and responsible for its messaging, which often meant either defending Mr. Bush or going on the attack.
And he took high-visibility roles on divisive issues, including abortion, homosexuality and the right-to-die case of Terri Schiavo.
The wrenching Schiavo case helped escalate his role in the nation's culture wars. Ms. Schiavo, 41, had been in a vegetative state for 15 years. Her husband wanted her feeding tube removed, saying she would not want to continue that way, while her parents opposed its removal, saying she showed signs of life. After multiple legal challenges, the tube was removed on March 18, 2005, under orders from a Florida judge.
Congress quickly passed a bill, co-sponsored in the Senate by Mr. Santorum and supported by Democrats, saying federal courts, which had refused to intervene, needed to review her case. Mr. Bush rushed back to Washington from vacation to sign it into law. She died 13 days after the tube was removed.
The spectacle left much of the public aghast. In a CBS poll, 82 percent of Americans said Congress and the president should have stayed out of the case. Mr. Santorum had gone further than most. Just before Ms. Schiavo died, he visited her hospice, met with her parents there and held a news conference. Critics said he contributed to the circuslike atmosphere.
Did liberals opposed to removing Schiavo's feeding tube, like Jesse Jackson, Ralph Nader, and Sen. Tom Harkin, also "contribute to a circus-like atmosphere"? Or does that just apply to a Republican who may run against Obama?

S8 E21 Moment of Truth
The time has come for the fifth year residents to take their boards. Those who have taught them relentlessly over the past half decade see them off as if they were their own children. Mark even gives Jackson a few bucks. You know… just in case. Everyone boards the shuttle bus on their way to San Francisco. Well, everyone but Alex. He's busy looking for ways to help Morgan's baby. Arizona eventually shuffles him out the door.
April bumps into a fellow exam taker named Kevin at the airport. She inadvertently reveals that she's been offered a job he was hoping to get. So now this guy hates her. Meredith is also having a rough time of it after catching Zola's stomach flu. Let the vomiting begin! As for Jackson, he's dealing with the fact that his mom, Catherine, is staying in his hotel. On the bright side, she brought his lucky pencil along to help him ace the boards. Too bad this particular exam is oral.
That guy whose dreams April crushed at the airport without even batting an eye approaches her at the hotel bar. He makes some derogatory remarks, so April sucker punches him in the nose. No, really! She clocks him good! Then April goes after him again. Richard shows up to break up this mini bar brawl, but April is still completely wound up. That's probably why she kisses Jackson passionately and drags him into her room. Remember how April was a virgin before heading off to take her boards? Yeah, well, things change.
Richard is surprised to see Catherine floating around the hotel lobby. The two of them jump back into their standard flirty ways. Richard clues Catherine in on the Adele situation over dinner. The attraction these have always had for each other can't be contained any longer. They make their way to Catherine's room. Richard hesitates for a moment, but it doesn't last. Passion finally wins out. Of course, awkwardness also arises when Jackson pops by his mom's room to pick up his lucky pencil.
Alex is so worried about Morgan's baby that he heads back to Seattle. Unfortunately, the baby is in dire straits. Alex lets Morgan know that she's done everything possible. The time has come to let her baby go. Morgan knows this as she breaks down in Alex's arms. He's there for her as they remove the infant from the machines. It's a heartbreaking moment as a mother gets to hold her son for a first and last time.
Cristina dons a surgical mask and gloves to pump Meredith with IV fluids in her hotel room. Later, they have a chat through their adjoining room door. Cristina finally tells Meredith that Owen cheated on her. She already knew, but that's not important. What matters is whether or not Cristina can forgive her hubby. Jury's still out on that one. Another thing that's up in the air is if these two best friends will ever see each other again if new jobs send them their separate ways.
Owen and Teddy are at odds on how to treat a young trauma patient who crashed his car into a telephone pole. Callie wants Bailey to get the two dueling surgeons to make nice for the good of everyone in the hospital. It's not easy, but Bailey eventually makes Teddy see that it was not Owen's fault that her husband died. He was just willing to take the blame in order to help her deal with it. Later, Teddy lets Owen know that Cristina texted her before heading in for her exam. It's a nice gesture that catches Owen completely off guard.
Things are very awkward between Mark and Lexie. Well, that's not exactly true. Lexie feels awkward because she still in love with this guy. Mark, however, is fine with being just friends with his ex. He even asks why Lexie and Jackson broke up because he thinks they were great together. Mark suggests she go after him if she still has feelings for him. She does still have feelings for someone, it's just not Jackson.
The morning of the boards arrives. Meredith vomits one last time before making her way to the interview area with Cristina by her side. Jackson sits beside April, who now feels like sleeping with him may have serious repercussions regarding her faith beliefs. As for Jackson, he's on his own after the interviewer accidentally breaks his lucky pencil. He's not in the worst shape though. This honor goes to Alex, who is MIA when his interviewer calls his name.

We've been spending way too much time lately on church externals! Cardinal, vestments, clerical attire. As the Italians say, "Basta!" ("Enough"!) Not that these things aren't interesting, but there are more significant things to think about as we enter into Advent.
So, over the years at various presentations, I've developed some points to ponder about the diaconate. I'll list them here to get us started, and then I'll post more on each point in separate posts so we can, if readers like, discuss them in more detail.
1. How "kenotic" is my ministry? ("Kenosis" is the self-emptying of Christ, to which we are all called as well) In short, how completely do I "empty myself" into service to others. Ministry is not about "me" but about "the other," not something we do, but the kind of people we are.
2. How healthy is our relationship with our bishop? We are supposed to be the "eyes, ears, heart, soul" of the bishop, extending his ministry throughout the diocese. How's that going?
3. How much do I "risk" in diaconate? Am I willing to leave my own comfort zone to serve others?
4. How capable am I of servant-LEADERSHIP? Ordination to any order of ministry involves LEADERSHIP, specifically, servant leadership. How willing am I to lead in and through service?
5. Don't get stuck in old patterns of ministry! What areas of need are not being met at all? How willing are we to be creative and break into new areas of service?
6. We should not be co-opted into someone else's ministry. The Holy See actually says this quite strongly: we are not supposed to be substitutes for priests or anyone else, nor are we supposed to take on ministries that rightly belong to others. This can be challenging: Am I serving in ways that are best done by others?
7. How "mobile" am I willing to be? Our model should be like St. Paul: move into new area, preach Good News, empower local leadership, and move on to a new area.
8. How well do we develop a "mens ecclesiae"? How well do I understand how the church really works and how sensitive am I to the very real needs of the local people of God?
9. How well do I minister EVERYWHERE? Or do I just minister "in house"? We're ordained to serve everywhere, including the work place and market place. Or have I just become "churchy" in my service?
10. Balance, balance, balance! How balanced is family, ministry, spirituality; how balanced are Word, Worship and Charity?
That's the list in brief. The next posts, over the next few days, will examine each in more detail. I'll try to have the list complete by Thanksgiving!

Anyone who has seen director Alfonso Cuarón and cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki work together might think they spend all of their time arguing like an old married couple, the squabbles punctuated by all manner of Spanish swear words.
"They are very intense," said David Heyman, a producer of "Gravity," their Oscar-nominated and most celebrated collaboration. "They are both perfectionists and unrelenting in their pursuit of that perfection."
But like some old married couples, underneath their disagreements rest a deep and abiding trust and respect.
Friends from their Mexican childhood — "We went to parties together as teens," Cuarón said — Lubezki and Cuarón collaborated on five previous features: "Love in the Time of Hysteria," "A Little Princess," "Great Expectations," "Y Tu Mamá También" and "Children of Men."
"It's like we're on the same frequency. Things happen naturally," Lubezki said of working with Cuarón. Both are favorites to win Oscars on Sunday night.
Cuarón, 52, calls the 49-year-old Lubezki his "co-director," a professional relationship dramatized by how one of "Gravity's" signature scenes came together — Sandra Bullock's slowly rotating in her underwear inside a Russian space capsule as if she were a baby in a womb.
As first pictured by Cuarón and even photographed by Lubezki, the scene had an almost engineered look, Bullock lit by the harsh fluorescent lights in the capsule. "He wanted the feeling of the scene to be totally different — much more industrial," Lubezki said. But the cinematographer thought Cuarón's approach was a little misguided, and went off with visual effects supervisor Tim Webber to rework the sequence.
Thanks to the power of visual effects, Lubezki over the course of several weeks was able to add a window in the capsule door, thus redirecting the light source away from inside the cabin to outside it, so that Bullock was lit not by bulbs but by the sun, its light pouring through the porthole and framing her as if she were being reborn.
When Lubezki took his version to Cuarón, he was not optimistic. "My guess is you're not going to like it," Lubezki told the director. But Cuarón, knowing a great shot when he saw it, promptly ditched his own interpretation of the scene.
"He said we needed a glimpse of nature and he was right," Cuarón said. "He understands the difference between the conceptual and the emotional. Because sometimes I get carried away with the conceptual."
Small choices like that often separate a great work of art from the mediocre masses, and Lubezki's attention to detail is not limited to his collaborations with Cuarón.
Earlier this week in Anza Borrego Desert State Park, Lubezki was working as the cinematographer on the low-budget independent film "Last Days in the Desert," where time was fleeting and a creative solution essential.
Because the biblical allegory from writer-director Rodrigo Garcia, due out later this year, unfolds a few decades after Jesus' birth, it was critical that no modern references intruded into the frame. So Lubezki flipped open a pocket knife, knelt in the sand and sawed off swatches of muslin from some set dressing. With gaffer's tape, he wrapped the fabric around the waffle-soled hiking shoes of Steadicam operator Colin Anderson, so that Anderson's footprints wouldn't contaminate the image.
PHOTOS: On the set of 'Gravity'
Lubezki now divides his time among a small handful of filmmakers: Cuarón, Garcia, Alejandro González Iñárritu (Lubezki just shot his "Birdman," due later this year) and Terrence Malick. Lubezki, known as "Chivo" (Spanish for goat) to everybody he works with, was the cinematographer for Malick's "Tree of Life" and "To the Wonder." He also shot the director's upcoming "Knight of Cups" and another untitled Malick film.
"I try to listen to and understand what the director is trying to do," Lubezki said. "How they want to shoot the movie and express the emotions."
Yet the cinematographer's closest working relationship is not with a camera or a lens but with fellow Mexican-born filmmaker Cuarón, with whom Lubezki conjured up "Gravity" even as everyone told them the movie was impossible.
While most media attention has focused on Cuarón's membership in Cha Cha Cha, a production company composed of the "three amigos" of Mexican directors Guillermo del Toro ("Pacific Rim") and Iñárritu ("Babel"), his relationship with Lubezki has been far more fruitful.
Cuarón was unable to hire Lubezki to shoot just one of his movies, "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban," because the cinematographer already was set to film "Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events" for director Brad Silberling. Even then, Lubezki worked with Cuarón to find a replacement, recommending Michael Seresin to fill his shoes.
PHOTOS: Movie scenes from 'Gravity'
"He elevates everything I do," Cuarón said. "We have a very similar eye. And we have a very similar curiosity about film language, and we are trying to explore all of the possibilities of that language."
Undoubtedly the most celebrated Lubezki-Cuarón collaboration so far is "Gravity," their riveting tale of two astronauts (Bullock and George Clooney) trying to survive a catastrophic space accident that has left them hurtling across the heavens. From "Gravity's" inception, Cuarón was determined to fuse Lubezki's profound understanding of light with the director's determination to create naturalistic visual effects, all while employing the same multi-minute takes that distinguished "Children of Men."
For more than a year before principal photography commenced, Lubezki, Cuarón and Webber (a lock to win the Oscar in his category) labored to figure out how to film the two actors as if "Gravity" actually was shot on location beyond Earth's atmosphere and gravitational pull. Their breakthrough solution was a roughly 20-foot-tall, 10-foot-wide cube filled with LED lights. In it, robotic rigs moved cameras and performers in an elaborately choreographed dance, yielding the illusion of weightlessness combined with lifelike illumination from the sun and stars.
No matter how inventive the filmmaking technology, "Gravity," co-written by Cuarón and his son, Jonás, would be soulless unless Lubezki photographed Bullock and Clooney as if they were living, breathing, relatable people.
"Rarely can you see visual effects films where there is a seamless integration of light. The goal is naturalism, not a fantasy, comic-book approach," Cuarón said. "From our very first movie together, we've always tried to honor available light."
TIMELINE: Grammy Awards through the years
Lubezki said he was motivated to film "Last Days in the Desert" because he always wanted to shoot in an arid region. "I've never done a western, and this to me is a biblical western," Lubezki said.
But the cinematographer, who has yet to direct his own feature but may do so in the future, also seemed relieved to be freed from deep space, complex lighting designs and extended takes. By his math the lowest-budget movie he's ever shot, "Last Days in the Desert" will be filmed in just 24 days, a fraction of the time of his other features. The only real tool at his disposal in Anza Borrego was the often-unrelenting sun and the way he oriented his cameras to it.
"It's not a documentary, but it's the equivalent equipment," he said soon after he finished wrapping his Steadicam operator's shoes. "It's a big relief. It's just fun."

BMC's Jeff Louder takes criterium win at Tour of Utah; Levi Leipheimer keeps lead
Utah's Jeff Louder (BMC) takes a big win as Levi Leipheimer fights off non-stop challenges to defend his overall lead
The stage 4 Park City Downtown Criterium lived up to its billing Saturday and Utah native Jeff Louder (BMC Racing) took the win after nearly 60 minutes solo off the front of the field. The GC contenders fought it out on the 120-vertical-foot climb of Main Street for the full 75 minutes and in the end Levi Leipheimer (Mellow Johnny's) held onto his overall lead.
Jai Crawford (Fly V Australia) jumped off the field with two laps to go and second overall Francisco Mancebo (Canyon Bicycles) caught him at the line to finish third and collect the final time bonus.
High mountain throwdown
At an elevation of 7,000 feet, the one-mile downtown course was a monster. The climb of Main Street rose 120 vertical feet per lap over a half mile. While not excruciatingly steep, the steady 10-percent grade punished riders over more than 25 laps. With the altitude and a contentious GC battle thrown in, Park City was a scene of absolute brutality Saturday evening.
Blue skies and temperatures creeping toward 90 Fahrenheit greeted riders as they warmed up on course for a half hour before the start. A number of riders shook their heads at the circuit as they rode by. Nerves were tense and the peloton jockeyed for position near the start line as announcers Michael Aisner and Todd Gogulski called forward the classification leaders.
The racing was heavy from the gun. Trek-Livestrong's Alex Dowsett, who finished second twice this week and wore the yellow jersey for a day, rolled things out early as he rode off the front of the bunch from the start. Two laps later the Briton was back in the field and the first of the GC attacks came.
Phil Zajicek (Fly V Australia) jumped on the climb with Cesar Grajales (On the Rivet-Ion) and Pat McCarty (Rio Grande). The move sent the first pulse through the back of the bunch and the fire escape was full of riders making a quick exit.
A lap later Taylor Phinney (Trek), who is fighting V Australia's David Tanner for the copper sprinter's jersey, went solo, but couldn't make a gap stick. From there, a constant stream of riders poured off the front of the race through the start/finish, which was lined four deep with fans.
Crawford gave a dig and forced a selection out of the front group, but Leipheimer and Ian Boswell (Bissell) chased him down.
"Our plan today was to take it easy for the first 20 minutes, but once we started out there it was just on … and I think the best place to be was at the front or even off the front," said Crawford.
Added Boswell: "I saw 53 minutes to go on the clock and I didn't think anyone was going to be able to ride the stage tomorrow. It was full gas the first 30 minutes."
Louder showed his first cards 20 minutes into the race when he went to the front with Carter Jones (KFAN), but a reshuffle on the descent sent Davide Frattini (Team Type 1) off the sharp end. Louder and Jones led the chase, 15 seconds in front of the GC group, which Boswell pulled up the climb.
"I really wasn't struggling that bad with those guys," said Louder of the early move. "I thought maybe if I could go out and just ride my own rhythm, I had a chance, especially if those guys all watch each other."
The first casualty of the overall contenders was Rory Sutherland (UnitedHealthcare-Maxxis). The Australian, who sat second in the National Racing Calendar standings coming into Utah, fell ill Friday and arrived to the start with a fever this afternoon. Sutherland popped as the GC men ratcheted up the chase.
The next to jump was eighth-overall Tim Roe (Trek), who escaped with 11th-placed Lachlan Morton (Holowesko Partners) and Megias. When the group had 15 seconds after a lap, UHC's Tim Johnson tried to bridge, but Darren Lill (V Australia) and Leipheimer killed the break high on the climb.
After 25 minutes of nonstop attacks, Louder sensed his moment and jumped away, hoping his near-five-minute deficit on GC would be enough cushion to be left on the front. A lap later, the 2008 overall champ was still alone, with Phinney, Tanner and Alex Hagman (On the Rivet) in pursuit. Megias came across to the chase, but Louder quickly rode to a 45-second advantage.
"They were all hitting each other and kind of checking each other," said Louder. "A couple laps before when I saw Phinney get a gap pretty easily, I said to myself, 'Hey, these guys, I don't think they're going to worry about me and I don't want to be the guy that gets caught flat-footed when somebody else gets a good gap and no one chases.'"
UnitedHealthcare entered the stage looking for a win near the end of a somewhat disappointing week. Their Dutchman Marc de Maar was the next to attack the GC group, bringing out Burke Swindlehurst (KFAN-teamgive), Frattini and Roe into the second chase group. The young Aussie Roe was a threat, however, and Leipheimer, Mancebo and the V Australia crew neutralized the move.
After Phinney cranked up the pace for the second intermediate sprint of the day, the first chase group dislodged Tanner, but was caught 10 minutes later. Taking points at both intermediate sprints in the stage, Phinney moved to within one point of Tanner's classification lead.
As Louder hung off the front with a one-minute advantage, the elite group of about 20 riders came through with five laps to go. The Utah native thought for the first time that the win was near.
"When I had about five laps to go and I still had a minute, I knew that unless they were really saving it for something big at the end, as long as I could just hold my pace, I had a pretty good chance," said Louder.
Zajicek put in a soft attack on the climb in the GC group. The American went on the right side of the road as thunder clapped from fans beating on placards hanging from the course barriers.
Four laps to go
The volume on Main Street tipped up 1:45 later when the lone leader came around with three circuits remaining. His upper lip curled onto his teeth, mouth open in a painful grimace, Louder stayed steady, climbing in the saddle.
The onslaught continued in the GC group back down the road. Zajicek was back from his move and Crawford put down a sharp attack as he passed through the start/finish. The young Aussie stood on his pedals and rocked his De Rosa away from the bunch. Crawford tucked tightly as he blasted down the descent of Swede Alley, completely spun out.
"It's a funny thing," said Crawford. "You can sit in the bunch there and you think you're in a world of pain, but all it takes is to jump off the front. You get a little motivation and suddenly you're riding for something."
Three laps to go
As Crawford came to the base of the climb with a 15-second gap, Boswell led the chase group through the technical chicanes at the bottom of the course. The 19-year-old Bissell espoir, wearing the light-blue jersey of the best young rider, led the nation's top climbers up Main Street for start of the penultimate lap.
Crawford was too strong for Boswell, though, and the gap continued to rise toward 20 seconds.
"That was one of the hardest races of my life," said Boswell, who earlier this year won the hilly Nevada City Classic.
The GC group reshuffled again on the descent as it plummeted toward the left-hand turn onto Heber Avenue at more than 50 mph. De Maar came to the front, his GC leader and the chance for a stage win gone.
At that point, the group was hurting.
"I'm telling you, I was counting the last five laps," said Grajales. "It took forever. I looked at Mancebo, the same thing. Everybody was just suffering. I don't think I've every done a crit so hard."
Two laps to go
As he rose through downtown, out of the saddle for the first time in nearly an hour, Louder's thoughts turned to Terry McGinnis, executive director of the Tour of Utah, who died of cancer in 2009 at age 46.
"I really had my thoughts the whole day on Terry McGinnis," said Louder, who trained frequently with McGinnis. "Once I was out there and I thought I had a chance, I really felt like I had him with me. It meant a lot to think of Terry today."
Meanwhile, de Maar, McCarty and Lill drove the GC group onto the climb, but Crawford's gap continued to rise, hitting 25 seconds by the start/finish. Leipheimer and Mancebo rode just behind the trio, tucked safely in with their main overall rivals.
Bell lap
When he came through for the final lap, Louder continued to look comfortable — relatively speaking — on his BMC Team Machine. Climbing again in the saddle, his shoulders swayed very little as he doled out a metered effort ahead of what was almost certainly a stage win. Louder pressed his chest low on his bars on the descent, five corners and 45 seconds from the line.
Leipheimer came to the front of the GC group and drilled the pace to close what had become a 30-second gap to Crawford. The acceleration strung the chase out and nearly popped 13th overall Max Jenkins (UnitedHealthcare) and Morton. The overall leader drove the pace up and over the ascent.
Meanwhile, Louder was arcing through the corner from 7th Street onto the climb. He zipped his red and black BMC jersey as he approached the line, raised his arms and pointed to the Team TMac bracelet on his wrist.
"It was insane. That was the biggest wall of sound — that's the biggest crowd I've ever won in front of for sure," said Louder. "It softened the hill a bit.
"I saw a chance and I took it and obviously it worked out and I'm really happy. BMC's been waiting for a win in the U.S. for a long time and I'm must happy to have been able to do it."
When the GC group arrived to the base of the climb, Crawford's lead had shrunk to 15 seconds. As the bunch made the right-hand turn onto Main, Mancebo attacked and dropped the group, bridging onto Crawford's wheel at the finish to take third behind the young climber.
Crawford, who said he dialed his effort back due to the altitude, added that he should have made his move sooner.
"Maybe I had the legs to catch Jeff if I'd gone earlier, but I waited until two to go and I was strong for most of those laps," he said.
The chase rolled in five seconds later, strewn across a hundred meters. Leipheimer had survived the nearly constant attacks to hold onto his leader's jersey for a second day. Also there was the full top 10 on GC, barring the ailing Sutherland.
"I don't do a lot of criterium racing," said Leipheimer, who carries a 1:28 lead over Mancebo into the final stage. "I wanted to just stay at the front the whole time and stay out of trouble. I decided to follow Mancebo and Darren Lill, for example. They were both aggressive and I had to jump a lot of times after them — not really my forte to jump like that. But fortunately it turned out all right."
On tap
After a week of denying his interest in the overall, Leipheimer for the first time indicated that he is hoping to defend the lead. Still, he downplayed his chances Sunday on the queen stage.
"This course is hard, so all I have to do really is watch a couple guys and it's possible by yourself," he said of the criterium. "But tomorrow, of course I'm going to follow the best guys on GC, but I can't follow everybody."
The final stage of the 2010 Larry H. Miller Tour of Utah starts in Kimble Junction near Park City. The route is nearly identical to the penultimate stage in 2009 and climbs the Alpine Loop, Suncrest and Little Cottonwood Canyon KOM's en route to the mountaintop finish at Snowbird Ski Resort.
The stage features 11,000 feet of climbing over 102 miles. Heat and storms are in the forecast for Sunday, and added to the slog through the Wasatch, they should make for a decisive and extremely painful day.

Sixty-eight of Hope College's graduating seniors and recent graduates have been elected to the Zeta of Michigan chapter of Phi Beta Kappa, the nation's oldest scholastic honorary society.
Sixty-eight of Hope College's graduating seniors and recent graduates have been elected to the Zeta of Michigan chapter of Phi Beta Kappa, the nation's oldest scholastic honorary society.
For more than 200 years, election to Phi Beta Kappa has been a recognition of intellectual capacity well-employed, especially in acquiring an education in the liberal arts and sciences. The objectives of learning encouraged by Phi Beta Kappa include intellectual honesty and tolerance, range of intellectual interests and understanding, not merely knowledge.
Hope faculty who are members of Phi Beta Kappa have elected students in recognition of their high grade point average in liberal arts courses, their exceptional scholarly ability, and their independent and creative scholarly activities.
A formal initiation ceremony and reception will take place on Sunday, April 20, at 2 p.m. in the Maas Center auditorium. The honorees will also be recognized during the college's Honors Convocation on Thursday, April 24, at 7 p.m. in Dimnent Memorial Chapel.
Hope College is one of only 276 colleges and universities in the country, and one of eight in Michigan, to have a chapter of Phi Beta Kappa. Hope's chapter was chartered in 1971.
