Congestive heart failure (CHF) is a condition in which the pumping mechanism of the heart becomes less efficient. The heart is no longer able to pump enough blood to supply the body with sufficient nutrients and oxygen.
Although CHF is largely preventable, once the disease develops, it is progressive. Individuals living with the disease suffer cardiac arrest six to nine times as often as the general population.
Usually, a combination of heart medications is used to treat CHF. However, studies have shown that some patients with congestive heart failure may also benefit from a combination of drug and device therapy.
In about 30 percent of patients with CHF secondary to weakening of the heart muscle, an abnormality in the heart causes its two lower chambers to stop beating simultaneously, making the heart even less efficient. This abnormality is known as ventricular dyssynchrony. Ventricular dyssynchrony can lead to more shortness of breath, problems with exercising and a higher risk of sudden cardiac death in patients with CHF.
CRT improves the symptoms of heart failure in about 50 percent of patients who have been treated extensively with medications but still have severe or moderately severe heart failure symptoms. It's the most important advance in the treatment of heart failure for appropriate patients since the introduction of beta-blockers.
Like a pacemaker, a cardiac resynchronization device sends tiny electrical pulses via leads (soft insulated wires) to the lower chambers of the heart to synchronize the contractions of the ventricles.
Two types of heart failure devices are available to coordinate the heart's pumping action, improve blood flow and speed up a heart that is beating too slowly -- a CRT pacemaker and a pacemaker with defibrillation therapy. The latter also detects a heart rhythm that is dangerously fast.
During the procedure to install the device, small incisions are made in the chest and the leads and device are inserted. Patients are given a local anesthetic and the patient is usually discharged from the Hospital within 24 hours. It is recommended that patients with the device continue taking medication as determined by their physicians.
CRT can reduce a number of symptoms of heart failure, helping patients to resume many daily activities and improve their quality of life.
The New York Heart Association has a classification system that helps health care professionals determine the severity of a person's heart failure and helps to guide the physician to a proper course of treatment. The best way to learn your classification and to discuss whether CRT is an option for you is to talk to your doctor.
Learn more about pacemakers and/or defibrillation therapy.

10 New Year's Resolutions We Wish Our Kids Would Make
How awesome would it be if we could make New Year's Resolutions for other people? Scratch that, how awesome would it be if we could make New Year's Resolutions for our kids?! Let's face it: The little buggers aren't gonna make 'em for themselves. What a peaceful and prosperous 2013 it would be if only we could hand them a self-improvement to-do list! Of course, it's hard enough sticking to our own resolutions -- I'm pretty sure it would be near impossible to get our kids to exercise such willpower -- but hey, a parent can dream, right?
To that end, I asked some friends what New Year's Resolutions they wish they could make for their kids ... here's what they had to say:
10 New Year's Resolutions We Wish Our Kids Would Make
1. "I'll go to sleep when I go to bed and not stay up playing video games all night under my blanket."
2. "I won't hold my brother's head under water in the bathtub."
3. "I'll do what Mommy asks the first time instead of the twenty-first. Or thirty-first. Or never."
5. "I won't forget to tell Mom that I have to make a human skeleton out of clay for science class until the night before it's due."
6. "I won't shove half of a banana into the bottom of my backpack after lunch and forget about it until Mom smells something funny."
7. "I will brush my teeth each and every morning and my mom will never have to remind me. I'll even floss."
8. "I'll stop using Mom's makeup brushes to paint with watercolors."
9. "I promise not to ask the same question over and over and over and over and over again when I already know the answer."
10. "I will never ever spit out my gum in the backseat of Mom's car and stick it in the cupholder."
What New Year's Resolutions do you wish your kids would make?

I'm nearly a teen, after all. 2) I will stop fighting with my twin sister every five minutes and try to compromise BEFORE Mom tells me how to do it. After all, she's told me this many, many times before; I should be able to remember the technique.

Norfolk Botanical Garden has enjoyed the visitors who have come from the large following, to the tune of about $9 per person for admission, plus donations from supporters.

America is founded on a few inalienable rights: The right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of gratuitous nude scenes in comedic romps.
9. Ali Larter in Varsity Blues - While not technically nude, Ali and her strategically-placed whipped cream instantly became the stuff of legend and dessert-based fetishes. Of course, leave it to Dawson's Creek to fumble the play—dude, you'll never get such a golden opportunity to offer a girl a banana for her split again. Way to go, forehead.
8. Heather Graham in Boogie Nights - Reason #4,562 why hanging out with Burt Reynolds rules: With the wave of a finger, he can make Heather Graham slip out of everything but her rollerskates and mount you on a fine Corinthian leather sofa. That's class! And Heather's anything but shy about showing the goods, which is why we love her.
7. Kathy Bates in About Schmidt- Kathy Bates and Jack Nicholson buck naked in a Jacuzzi. Now, if this were 1968…actually, it'd still be pretty gross. Yes, we're kidding. Consider this a palate-cleanser before we move on to #6. We didn't want you getting all hot and bothered at work. All set? Good. Let's move on…
10. Diora Baird in Wedding Crashers- It was kind of a "blink and you missed it" moment, but we're betting there were a lot of dry eyes in the house when Diora flopped down topless on a bed during the "wedding sluts" montage. You remember her, she was the one with the rack big enough to satisfy as many Wilson brothers as the movie was willing to throw at her.
6. Reese Witherspoon in Twilight- OK, this isn't exactly a comedic romp and, honestly, the only thing notable about this movie is Reese's topless scene. And the only thing notable about Reese's topless scene is that, well, this is it, fellas. She's a Serious Actress™ now, so she won't be flaunting the sweater puppies ever again. Grab the opportunity while you can.
5. Denise Richards in Wild Things - Neve Campbell can keep her no-nudity clause, because even she couldn't dampen our appreciation of Wild Things' champagne-drenched threesome. Richards had no problem getting down and dirty, which is why we're still talking about her today. Campbell? Not so much. And before you say Wild Things isn't a comedy, we defy you to watch it without laughing.
4. Rebecca de Mornay in Risky Business- She was way too much woman for a high school kid to handle—especially a high school-aged Tom Cruise—but her full-frontal nude scene made a man out of every guy who was of appropriate age in 1983, and you know who you are. Not to mention Rebecca also made prostitution cool long before Julia Roberts.
3. The Pi Delta Pi Girls in Revenge of the Nerds- Yes, every last one of you. When the nerds get the brilliant idea to hook up surveillance cameras in the Pi sorority house, we're treated to a parade of naked, perky extras. This one went for quality and quantity, and scored on both counts. And let's just say Takashi wasn't the only one who learned what "hair pie" meant.
2. Phoebe Cates in Fast Times at Ridgemont High - The standard against which teen movie nudity is measured. It may not be the most graphic or revealing, but it had all the key elements: A hot young actress you've been dying to see topless (erm, Phoebe), a completely gratuitous set-up (Judge Reinhold's masturbatory day dream), and a hilarious pay-off (she walks in on him mid-jerk). It's bulletproof, and it's a classic.
1. Shannon Elizabeth in American Pie- A question for the ladies: If you find yourself in a teenage boy's bedroom and he happens to leave the room for a second, do you immediately take off all your clothes and admire yourself in his mirror? No? Exactly. That's why Nadia changed the way we look at movie nude scenes. And that's why you aren't Shannon Elizabeth. Well, that and probably some other things, too.

Remove any tough ends or hard outer husks of lemongrass, cut into 2-inch pieces, and smash with the side of a knife. Tie lemongrass in a loose bundle with cheesecloth.
Rinse chicken and place in a medium soup pot. Add 6 cups cold water to cover chicken. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil and skim the surface thoroughly of any impurities that rise.
Lower the heat and add carrot, onion, garlic, ginger, and the lemongrass bundle. Adjust heat so water barely bubbles. Cover and poach chicken for 25 minutes. Lift chicken out of the pot and transfer to a plate. When it's cool enough to handle, pull meat off the bones and shred the meat into large pieces. Set aside.
Add soy sauce to broth and return to a boil. Add noodles, scallions, shiitakes, and bok choy; cook for 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until noodles are tender. Add chicken and heat through. Discard lemongrass bundle. Stir in the cilantro or basil before serving.
Soy sauce is not gluten free. Use Wheat free Tamari soy sauce in your recipes if you are gluten intolerant.Reply
You have to be careful with soya sauce as well...it contains gluten sometimes too.Reply
It could really use a little more kick, IMHO. I added several dashes of fish sauce and some siracha -- although next time I might slice a jalapeno in it.Reply
The first day it was very greasy and I was kind of disappointed. But the second day I skimmed it and it was really delicious! I only used one stalk of lemon grass, but next time I will put in the required amount.Reply
this sounds yummy!Reply

Good morning all,
I have recently started wearing foundation. I am curious if putting on liquid foundation right after I apply benzoyl peroxide cream will decrease the effectiveness of the BP. Should I wait 10 or 15 minutes after applying the BP to put on my foundation?

NEILLSVILLE, WI (WTAQ) - A west central Wisconsin man is free on a signature bond, after he was accused of skinning his dog alive.
65-year-old Charles Weissmiller of Stanley made an initial appearance in Clark County Circuit Court Wednesday on a felony animal mistreatment charge.
Authorities said a Labrador-shepherd mix named Sammy was severely cut, losing both flesh and fur.
Prosecutors said Weissmiller harmed the dog because he no longer wanted him.
Community donations have helped Sammy get better. The police chief in nearby Owen, Andrew Schade, has paid over $1,000 to cover several of the dog's surgeries.
Weissmiller is due back in court July 24th, when a judge will decide if there's enough evidence to order a trial.

LOUISVILLE, KY. (WDRB) -- Kentucky lawmakers are back at work for the start of the legislative session. They're expected to consider tax reforms and to search for ways to shore up the financially troubled pension system for government retirees.
A task force appointed by Governor Steve Beshear has recommended a series of changes to the state tax code that could generate more than $600 million in additional revenue.
Lawmakers have 30 days in this session, but if more work needs to be done, Beshear says he may call for a special session.

In the clip from "The Brotherhood" extra on the show's fourth season DVD release (now on sale), Simon Baker and his colleagues share their takes on the gallows humor that keeps their characters from cracking under the pressure of a seriously twisted job.
Season 5 of the The Mentalist premieres Sunday, Sept. 30 at 10/9c on CBS.

Would Canton residents like to see a parking garage built in their neighborhood, with shuttle service to their homes, financed by a service fee added to annual property taxes?
That's an idea that's been recently put forward by former State Senator John Pica, who is moving to Little Italy and says he will likely make a run for state office again.
A "community benefits district," Pica said, would provide "personnel for goodwill" and the appearance of security as well as a parking garage and shuttle. He said that it could be modeled after Baltimore's Downtown Partnership, or a number of similar districts in other cities.
A less costly alternative, Pica said, would be to build the garage through the city's Parking Authority and provide only the shuttle service, also paid through a premium on property tax.
Pica said that he has heard from a few residents who have off-street parking and were opposed to the idea. Residents who don't wish to participate, he said, could be exempt from the fee and excluded by the service.
To be established, a benefits district would need to be approved by over half of the residents and businesses in the area. Pica plans to meet with local residents and businesses this Thursday at Du Burns Arena to discuss his idea.

Mommy's Lil Helper: femé Pads
Mommy's Lil Helper: femé Pads
If necessity is the mother of all invention, then why did it take so long for someone to create a product to help ease immediate postpartum discomfort? Earlier this year, lilsugar told you about the diaper ice pack nurses gave her when her son was born.
As I gear up for the birth of my second lil one, I am curious to see what is new to the market. An Australian company named SmartChoices had created a "reusable" version of Lil's pack, called femé Pads ($20 for two). The elongated oval cooling pads come with disposable gauze covers and can be used to help soothe both post-episiotomy and hemorrhoid pain. Some women I know could have used these pain relievers. It's certainly a more proper alternative to the condom popsicle!

While it was super exciting to finally learn who won the Dancing With the Stars All-Star season tonight, seeing the show come to an end was also very bittersweet.
Something about this season has been different from all the rest, and not just because past contestants came back for another spin around the dance floor. The All-Star performers brought more competition, more emotion, more talent, and quite honestly, more pure entertainment than DWTS has ever seen, and Monday nights just won't be the same from here on out (until the next season rolls around, of course).
But all good things must come to an end, and every competition can only have one winner. Things really came down to the wire tonight for Kelly Monaco, Shawn Johnson, and Melissa Rycroft -- and it was their final instant dance routines that ultimately decided their fate.
After watching all three performances, I definitely knew who was going to win in the end. Oh c'mon, it was SO obvious -- especially after it was announced that Kelly and Val had landed in third place. (Boo.)
I actually called the winner last night -- and I was right.
While Shawn and Melissa were both amazing this season, one of them simply deserved the win more -- because she worked her ass off for it, and from the start of the All-Star season to the end, she progressed and improved the entire way.
Drum roll please -- Melissa Rycroft and Tony Dovolani won Dancing With the Stars. The mirror ball trophy is officially theirs!
OMG. I'm SO happy for her -- not gonna lie, I got a little bit emotional when she won. (It must be a mom thing.)
And wasn't it cute to see not only how overjoyed she was, but how shocked she seemed at the news that she'd actually won? I really think she anticipated losing to Shawn, and had already prepared herself for second place. It just goes to show that every single dance and every single vote on DWTS counts -- and bringing her A-game every week was obviously the perfect strategy for Melissa.
Are you happy that Melissa was crowned this season's winner?
Image via ABC
Oh Heck Yes! I wanted them to when their first time around. So happy for them. They deserve it.
Shawn and Derek should have won. In Fact Melissa didn't even belong in this season this season was for champions the best of the best she was not a winner therefore should not have been here
Melissa was by far the best dancer there. So happy she won!
Congrats to Melissa and Tony! They did an awesome job. Everyone was great. I don't like the implication that one worked harder than the others. They all worked hard so try to lose that comment.

Through his innovative Improvisation Technique, Stephen Book shows the actor how to create a spontaneous performance by applying improvisation to traditional script-acting for film, theater, and television. The seminar will also include a presentation on the pros and cons of traditional acting classes.
The seminar length is about one and a half hours. If you plan on attending, please fill out the form and reserve your seat as space is limited. Please fill out the entire form below as it's required to register.

Comic John Oliver nearly burst into tears one afternoon during an impromptu celebration at "The Daily Show" offices.
It was 2009, and the almost-tears were not ones borne of laughter, or sorrow. Rather, it was a moment of deep relief and joy, as the celebration was honoring the fact that Oliver had just secured a much- desired plum: a green card.
"As a comedian you're kind of allergic to sincerity but this was a massive moment for me," said Oliver via phone from his office in New York City.
The new immigration status for Oliver, who hails from Birmingham, England, has made all the difference. With his previous visitor status Oliver had the feeling that he sometimes had to tread lightly as a comedian.
After all, he's a correspondent for the show that has comically eviscerated just about every celebrity and politician from President Barack Obama to Ted Nugent. The immigration uncertainty made Oliver's every walk through customs a nail-biting affair.
"Without the green card you can't really put down any roots because you know those roots can be pulled up by someone behind a desk that has taken a disliking to you," he said.
"My immigration status, I realized, especially after the fact, is something I thought about every day," Oliver said.
Luckily, those days are behind him. Oliver is an permanent resident alien. Ironically it is the "alien" in Oliver that best defines him as a comic.
Local audiences will get to see Oliver's unique outlook when he makes his area debut today at Sacramento's Crest Theatre.
The Bee spoke with Oliver, who is married to Iraq war veteran Kate Norley. That development suggests that citizenship may soon be in the offing.
You met your wife while covering the 2008 Republican National Convention in Minneapolis. Is that a good place to pick up women?
Having been to two conventions, I'm not sure that that's true. With either convention, romance is not key on your mind. It's more about emotionally surviving them. I was definitely not expecting to meet my wife as I ran through the corridors of what has to be one the least romantic places on earth a Republican national convention.
How did you meet there?
She was in the Army with Vets for Freedom and was attending both conventions. Our crew was being chased by security because we were filming something where we weren't supposed to be filming. So she hid us in this little area.
Was she a fan?
She did not know who we were or what the show was.
I understand you started stand-up in London?
I started right out of college. I was always doing it on the side while I was doing other things. I never stopped. I still probably self-identify as a stand-up first ... anything I do on the side is like a bonus.
Is there an overarching theme to your stand-up show?
I'll talk about politics a bit and about America, and my feelings towards it. And I'll talk about my personal life.
Any adjustment being a Brit and doing stand-up in the United States?
You'd be surprised how much cross-fertilization there is in comedy now between the U.K. and the U.S. not just with TV but with stand-up. So there really wasn't that much of an adjustment. With stand-up it's always kind of an outsider's point of view. It actually helps to be, sonically and physically, not obviously American. That has become one of the main themes when I do stand-up now because clearly when you listen to my voice it is obvious I don't belong here.
Do you like the give-and-take with an audience, and dealing with hecklers?
I don't mind hecklers, it stops the feeling of a show feeling like you're watching TV. I tend to invite it in a way because I ask people questions. I like to involve an audience. I get bored if you're saying the same thing time and time again. I welcome an interaction to a point ... to a point. I'm not inviting people in Sacramento to come to the show with their most abusive insults and to hurl them at the stage.
How do audiences differ between the United States and Great Britain?
In Great Britain the audiences are usually a bit more drunk. When doing stand-up in clubs there, heckling is seen as not just an expectation but as a basic right. They don't come as much to listen as to engage in a constant back and forth. If they're not laughing they will not be silent. They will explain to you exactly how and why they think you are not funny.
What would you say is the biggest misperception Brits have about America?
The thing people don't often realize about America is how divided it is. Because America is kind of sold to the world as a united front. When we see Americans, they're often waving flags or standing together. What you don't realize is that what you get in every U.S. election is an ending where slightly under 50 percent of the population is absolutely devastated.
Is it true you wanted to be a footballer (soccer player)?
I still kind of do, and I'm gradually realizing that that dream is now dead.
Were you any good?
In my mind I was. In reality I was physically average. On teams I played on at schools there were some guys that went on to professional. When I played with them it became evident I was playing a different sport.
Most comics cite George Carlin and Richard Pryor as influences. You?
Both of them were influences. Pryor is probably the greatest stand-up that ever lived. Carlin was sensational. I had all of their albums when I was growing up. I'd listen to them every night before I went to sleep, so I knew them all by heart.
Do Brits see the fiscal cliff as bizarre political sport?
The pageantry of American politics, in general, is absolutely ludicrous. When we look at U.S. presidential elections taking a year and a half and costing billions and billions I think that's seems inherently insane for someone outside looking in.
Kind of the way Americans see the pageantry of the royals, like the Kate Middleton-Prince William wedding?
Yes. At least the fiscal cliff was technically relevant to people's everyday lives, rather than pseudo-figureheads getting married. That is really as close to meaningless as any world event can be. The fiscal cliff had direct consequences. The marriage of Kate Middleton to the prince? Sure, they're the greatest couple in the history of humanity that is taken as a given. If you thought the wedding was overblown you've not seen anything until you see how Brits react when this baby pops out.

Florence Perry Cogswell turned 100 just last week, while Aileen Cabral observed her 101st birthday March 20. Each is in reasonably good health.
Florence Andrade was born April 3, 1912, in the town of San Braz on the Azorean island of Terceira. She had four older siblings. Her father immigrated to the United States when Florence was 3 months old and sent for the entire family in 1920. She remembers cobblestone streets, lamplighters and horse-drawn fire engines and milk wagons from her young years.
After being processed at Ellis Island, the Andrades headed to San Francisco, where her father had established a home.
Her sister Mary married a Crows Landing dairyman, and Florence would come to visit. That's how she met and married John Perry on Sept. 21, 1929. She worked hard, raised sons John and Norman Perry, and during World War II served as a volunteer airplane observer for the Army Air Corps.
Her family has grown over the years. Her living relatives include son John and his wife Betty Perry, as well as one granddaughter, four great-grandchildren and three great-great-grandchildren.
When Florence came to this country, Woodrow Wilson was our 27th president. Thus, she has lived through 17 presidents. She lives in her own rural home on property belonging to John and Betty. Her life continues to be very full, and she's looking forward to the future.
And Betty comments, "Florence has been my Mama (mother-in-law) for almost 56 years. … I wouldn't trade her for all the tea in China!"
Aileen Cabral, another longtime rural Crows Landing resident, noted her 101st birthday with little fanfare. She was born in Vallejo in 1911, the daughter of Luiz and Mary N. Cabral, also immigrants to this country.
The family moved to rural Gustine when she was young, and she started her education there at the Canal School. A move to Crows Landing put her in the Bonita School in that community, and she graduated from Orestimba High School in Newman.
In 1930, she enrolled in Armstrong Business College in Berkeley, and upon graduation went to work for the Bank of Newman.
During World War II, Aileen managed the bank's Crows Landing branch for five years and eventually completed a career of 43 years in the banking business. She, too, remains very alert and active.
These two women bring to five the number of centenarians on our 90-plus list. The other three are Bertha Criswell, Helen Maring and Lawrence "Lodi" Harrison.

Smart: I think that's a great idea. You get an "A" this week.
Now that's odd
In this week's Patterson Past column, printed elsewhere in this issue , is a notation that 50 years ago, the original high school building was selected as one of three local fallout shelters to be used in the event of a nuclear attack.
That was in 1962, when the beautiful building was 47 years old. Then, 13 years later — in 1975 — the same building was deemed unsafe because of California's earthquake law, and was soon demolished.
Were our California earthquakes considered to be more deadly than the Russian nuclear arsenal? Apparently so.
Email of the week Dear readers continue to send me emails, including this Easter message received just the other day:
A lady opened her refrigerator and saw a rabbit sitting on one of the shelves. "What are you doing in there?" she asked.
The rabbit replied, "This is a Westinghouse, is it not?" To which the lady answered, "Yes."
"Well," the rabbit said, "I'm westing."
It made my day.

Samoa Joe (champion) vs. Magnus
Greg DeMarco:
Woah, a television title match with build! Joe has been motivated for all of 2012, and Magnus is a star in the making for TNA. Which leads me to the biggest problem with this match—picking a winner.
Joe has more to do with the TV title, but Magnus is ready to carry the gold. Much like Bound For Glory, Joe can go over but Magnus can still be kept strong. Maybe Joe wins with the Muscle Buster because Magnus keeps escaping his submission attempts. I do want to see Magnus unseat Joe, but I want him to do it in an Impact Wrestling main event, not a PPV undercard match.
Winner: Samoa Joe (still TV champion)
Michael Weyer:
The feud has been going well, reminding you how great these guys are together. Tempting to say Joe retains again but they want the TV title to mean something again and a switch here would be good and set up more rematches that pushes both guys more. Plus, Magnus has been ignored way too long, be nice to see him spotlighted again.
Winner and NEW TV Champion: Magnus
Larry Csonka:
These guys had a solid PPV outing last time out, but I think most know that they can do more. With the NO DQ stipulation, they will have all of the smoke and mirrors to add to their pretty heated feud at their disposal. I think Magnus should win, and he may, but with the win over Joe on Impact, I think Joe retains.
Winner: Samoa Joe
Gavin Napier:
Magnus' slow rise to the spotlight continues, but I don't think he takes a big jump at Joe's expense just yet. TNA finally seems to be getting back to "Joe's gonna kill you" after far too long trying to reinvent the wheel. I expect an excellent match that sees Joe overcome shenanigans from Magnus to retain his title here.
Winner: Samoa Joe
James Wright:
I am looking forward to this one as while it has been in the background it is a rivalry that has been built for months and it is doing what the WWE can't at the moment; make the secondary titles actually mean something. It is a simple idea of giving the guys just below the title scene something to do to remain relevant, it provides a place for guys that have had or missed their moment somewhere to fall, but not too far, and holds up and coming stars in place before they are ready for the main event, although not too far. While Magnus is a future star I see Joe coming out on top once again and retaining the TV title, doing to it what he did to the titles in ROH.
Winner: Samoa Joe
Ken Hill
: This more or less is what I pictured the feud between the two former tag champs coming down to: A straightforward smash-mouth match between two of TNA's top brawlers with no real restraints. What I really like about this is Magnus not being ignored by TNA brass and really given a chance to shine on Joe's level and I think it pays off here.
Winner and NEW TV Champion: Magnus
411Mania Staff Pick:
Samoa Joe (4-2)
Doc vs. Joseph Park
Greg DeMarco:
Doc? You had how many weeks to come up with a name and you're going with Doc? I don't care what Doc stands for, I still would have preferred Isaiah Cash. But the former Luke Gallows isn't the real story of this match, Joseph Park is. Park is on the brink of making us forget about Abyss for good—and I say we keep it that way!
Park will have all of the fan support, but Doc is going to have some back-up with him. That's all Doc will need to come out ahead in this match.
Winner: Doc
Michael Weyer
: Well, we knew this was coming so best to just roll with it. Park can be a great worker but not sure of Doc. Still, we're promised a rough battle and I like Park's "not really a wrestler until it counts" gimmick so we should have a decent match. I see Doc getting the win with help from his gang to push the transformation back into Abyss.
Winner: Doc
Larry Csonka:
I think we know what we are getting with the Park character. I can see the numbers game becoming a factor, and with Bully Ray not on the card (A FN CRIME) and his recent endorsement of Park, I see him getting involved, Park going crazy and gaining a victory.
Winner: Joseph Park
Gavin Napier:
Eh, this is what it is. It'll be a decent brawl, and hopefully they're building to the return of Abyss through this. This Aces and 8s storyline may be a nice way for TNA to tie up a lot of loose ends at the end of the calendar year.
Winner: Doc
James Wright:
Can this latest Parks match live up to his great contest against Bully Ray in the Monster's Ball? There is always a chance, after all that wasn't a classic technical showing by any means, but the story told was great. Just look at the guys we have in the ring; Parks, who is doing great as Joseph Parks, legitimately lulling me into believing his character so much that I found myself during the Monster's Ball match thinking how ridiculous it was to put this guy against Bully Ray and expect him to win, and then realising that I had just thought that about Abyss, so I have all the faith in him. Then we have Doc, new name aside this guy is clearly a great character actor, he has already played 'Masked Kane', 'Festus' and Luke Gallows, leading people to quickly forget his last role in favour of his new one, and each role being more respectable, so hopefully he will know how to work the comedy and know how to work in the brutality as well. All in all this could be a surprisingly good match from a storytelling point of view and it could start 'Doc' off right in the company proper. As for a winner, I would go for Parks but more likely Doc will win due to Aces & 8s involvement, and really he needs it more anyway.
Winner: Doc
Ken Hill
: As sad as it is to say this, I think this is where the "Joseph Park" reaches the end of the road, and Abyss makes an unwelcome re-emergence to help his "brother" after Aces & Eights costs him this match. I personally liked the Park character and hope there's someway he can transition between being both Park and Abyss, but I digress.
Winner: Doc
411Mania Staff Pick:
Doc (5-1)
Tara & Jesse vs. Eric Young & ODB
Greg DeMarco:
Let's see...three people I don't care about and Tara. Best case scenario is Eric T Jesse take a walk and head to the great outdoors—for good. That leaves Tara and ODB, a pair easily capable of putting on a good match. Worst case scenario is a crapfest full of crappy spots and crappy comedy.
I'll tell ya what, TNA. Keep this thing short and we'll call it all even, okay?
Winner: Tara & Jesse
Michael Weyer:
Words cannot express how much I am uninterested in this match so let's just move on fast.
Winners: Tara & Jesse
Gavin Napier:
If Eric Young were truly on his way out of the company, this would be a title match. I don't think he's gone yet, but it's probably not far off. That said, they've been teasing strife between the married couple, and trying to make a big deal out of Jesse and Tara's relationship, so why not put the new couple over?
Winner: Tara and Jesse
Larry Csonka:
I have no interest in the match at all, and I do not think it will be entertaining or any good. Unfortunately they are more concerned with this instead of building the Knockouts division. I guess Tara and Jesse From Big Brother can maybe get a run with the coveted Knockouts Tag Titles…
Winner: Tara and Jesse From Big Brother
James Wright:
In some ways no, in some ways yes. What I mean by that is that in some ways this match annoys the hell out of me and in other ways I could dig the concept. I have argued before that with dwindling interest in the Knockouts division from the people backstage, these titles should be turned into inter-gender tag titles, if not gotten rid of altogether. If the titles were on the line here it would make sense to pass them on to Tara & Jesse and make that official. I'm actually quite surprised that TNA didn't go for the whole 'KO tag titles vs. KO title' as that is usually the type of stipulations they put in matches. Usually I would be in favour of this simplicity, but as Young is leaving and I want the titles to become inter-gender I'm kind of annoyed they actually aren't on the line as it would be a great way to shift them onto a new team, it's not like they've exactly been defended so far! So as things stand I see Young going out by taking down Jesse, if the titles are up for grabs in some last minute stipulation change I see Tara pinning Young to win. So as things stand...
Winner: ODB & Eric Young
Ken Hill
: I don't even care if I stream the PPV; if I see this match anywhere else but the pre-show, I'm demanding a refund.
Winners: Tara & Jesse
Tara & Jesse (5-1)
X-Division Championship
Rob Van Dam (champion) vs. Joey Ryan
Greg DeMarco:
No offense to Joey Ryan, but the fact that he's at the front of the line for an X-Division title shot is pretty telling about the state of the division. However, most of the best challengers (namely Kenny King and Christian York) are faces, so a heel champion does make the most sense. Just not yet. This could easily span another PPV or more.
Winner: Rob Van Dam (still X-Division champion)
Michael Weyer
: Well, RVD hasn't exactly been wowing as the champ, still annoyed that they took it off Ion. Ryan has been getting the major push off the Gut Check angle so he might be hot enough to get the belt. I think TNA might really be taking a chance here as Ryan can be a great cocky heel champion to spike things up and not like RVD really needs the title so I see a change here to let Ryan show his stuff.
Winner and NEW X Division Champion: Joey Ryan
Larry Csonka:
Matt Morgan is barred from ringside, and they switched the title to RVD to make sure a star has the title, and because the division is razor thin and booked poorly. While it makes sense to try and put the title on Ryan, I see RVD retaining for now.
Winner: RVD
Gavin Napier:
I don't like Joey Ryan. His presence in TNA annoys me as much as the bogus infield fly rule against the Braves in the MLB Playoffs, but not quite as much as Obama's reelection. I'm on a roll lately, huh? Matt Morgan is the difference here.
Winner: Joey Ryan
James Wright:
A possible push for Ryan here and he would be a better fit for the X Division as in my opinion it should be a division devoted to new talent, not smug and overrated talent. I think Joey Ryan has some potential and with Matt Morgan backing him, with Hogan in turn backing him backstage, he could easily steal the title via shenanigans from the Whole F*n' Show.
Winner: Joey Ryan
Ken Hill
: I don't really understand why Van Dam needs the X Division Title or why it's even up for grabs here. As far gone as he is at this point in his career, Van Dam has credibility, star power, and tenure to his name. Using him to put over Joey Ryan works, but I don't see why he had to win a title to make this match more relevant. Plus, if Ryan doesn't get some immediate cred by winning a big match, his winning a contract won't mean squat. I expect some Matt Morgan shenanigans in this one
Winner and NEW X Division Champion: Joey Ryan
411Mania Staff Pick:
Joey Ryan (4-2)
Devon vs Kurt Angle
Greg DeMarco:
Remind me again why Bully Ray isn't getting another crack at Devon here? I love "old man Angle" and all, but this isn't what the fans want to see, TNA! This has clusterfuck written all over it, and I totally expect to see involvement from Bully Ray, Sting (if he's still living), Joseph Park, Doc, Aces & Eights members and who knows who else.
Basically, I don't see a winner coming out of this match.
No one (no contest)
Michael Weyer:
Let's face it, Devon was never the star wrestler of the team and doubtful he's magically improved in his time away. So expect interference from A&E as Angle will give his all to carry Devon and expect Angle to eke out the win but get a beat-down afterward as they want to keep selling Devon as a major player that he's not really suited for.
Winner: Kurt Angle
Larry Csonka:
While Devon has been motivated during his singles run, I don't think that anyone is expecting a MOTY here. But I will say that matching him with Kurt Angle is the best thing to do, not only to play off the eventual Bully Ray match (which should be at Lockdown) but also because Angle will bust his ass to get the best match out of him possible. I feel that the match is designed to give Devon a win, and likely another vicious beat down of a top TNA star.
Winner: Devon
Gavin Napier:
Nice bit of continuity here, as TNA played up on commentary a few months back Devon's comments that he made about losing the weight "for Kurt Angle." Devon said he wanted to be in shape to wrestle Kurt Angle, and now he's getting his wish. Angle is the logical choice here, but I fully expect the numbers game to come into play and see Devon get the win after some interference from Aces and 8s.
Winner: Devon
James Wright:
I'm not sure if this should actually be called a grudge match as they made it explicitly clear that the attack on Angle a couple of weeks ago was completely random, still whatever. I don't expect an amazing match here, and again there will probably be a bunch of outside interference. In the end I see this PPV as a way to give the exposed Aces & 8s members the cheap victory to make them look like more of a threat, so despite all logic, I see Angle losing this one.
Winner: Devon
Ken Hill
: While I applaud the reveal of Devon as a member of Aces & Eights, he's being made to look like the figurehead of the group, which, no offense to Devon himself, I just can't really buy. He's always been a good bit player, but I can't picture him in an effective leader role.
Anyway, just like HBK used to help a lot of mediocre opponents to decent matches, Angle can do the same and make Devon look like a boss. I see Angle coming out of this with a narrow victory and get beat down after.
Winner: Kurt Angle
411Mania Staff Pick:
Devon (3-2-1)
World Tag Team Championship
Chavo Guerrero Jr & Hernandez vs. Christopher Daniels & Kazarian
Greg DeMarco:
A great wrestling tag team versus Los Stereotypicos. Who do you think goes over? The Eddie Guerrero Tribute Band, what's who!
But take nothing away from the match itself, it should be highly entertaining. But the finish won't be pleasing—to me, at least.
Chavo & Hernandez (still Tag Team champions)
Michael Weyer:
This is tricky as Chavo and Hernandez just got the belts, a bit early for a switch. However, Daniels and Kaz just get along so great as the heel champions that it'd be a shame to waste that already. Thus, I expect Daniels and Kaz to manage to cheat to get the belts back and give the division a bit more spark again to entertain us and continue their great act.
Winners and NEW Tag Team Champions: Daniels and Kaz
Larry Csonka:
Christopher Daniels & Kazarian are one of the best tag teams going today, and they really should be the champions. They are the better team, they are better on the mic and can work with anyone. Also, if you are going to rebuild the division, you need dominant and entertaining champions like Daniels and Kaz to carry the load. Chavo and Hernandez are "fine," but the pairing was predictable and they just do not do that much for me as the champions. I want Daniels and Kaz to win, and think that it is best for the division if they do.
Winner: Christopher Daniels & Kazarian
Gavin Napier:
Do I enjoy seeing Chavo Guerrero wrestle? Sure. Is Hernandez better off in a team than on his own? Absolutely. Should they be tag team champions? No. Chavo is getting pops because Eddy is dead and the novelty hasn't worn off of Hernandez again yet. Daniels and Kazarian are remarkably entertaining in their roles and I wish they had never lost the tag team titles. Sucks for me, because they're not getting them back here.
Winner: Chavo and Hernandez
James Wright:
Please god let Daniels & Kazarian win this one! Sure there are no viable challengers for the tag team titles, but at least on the World Tag Team Champions of the World the titles are in the hands of at least one guy with personality. What exactly have Chavo and Hernandez said or done since winning the titles? Nothing. I don't know why TNA had the team of Daniels & Kazarian drop the belts at BFG but it is time for them to get them back!
Winner: Daniels & Kazarian
Ken Hill
: The win was nice, but the Eddie tributes have to stop and Chavo needs a new bit and a new edge to him. Hernandez is good for what he does, big muscle and big spots. Kaz and Daniels pretty much summed my feelings on the victory, and I wouldn't be surprised to see a quick title change here as Kaz and Daniels are honestly the better team on the mic and in the ring.
Winners and NEW Tag Team Champions: Daniels and Kaz
411Mania Staff Pick:
Christopher Daniels & Kazarian (4-2)
#1 Contender's Match
Bobby Roode vs. James Storm vs. AJ Styles
The loser of the fall won't get a World Championship match until (at least) Bound For Glory 2013
Greg DeMarco:
Now this will be a great match! I am very excited about this one, and I think it will deliver. We didn't need Storm and AJ at odds on Impact Wrestling, but it's paint-by-numbers booking on a show where I have been asking them to keep it simple. So I can live with that.
The bigger story is the loser—who won't get a world title shot for almost a year. I'm going with Storm—to lose the fall.
Winner: Bobby Roode
Loser: James Storm
Michael Weyer:
AJ's entire presence is pretty much useless. It's Storm vs. Roode that fans want to see and we know that it'll be a hot battle. However, AJ around pretty much ensures who loses the fall. The winner is tricky as Storm has been dominant but Roode needs a win to reassert himself so I guess he gets the pin on AJ after a cheap shot from Storm to boost himself again.
Winner: Bobby Roode
Loser: AJ Styles
Larry Csonka:
This is a really interesting match, due to the stipulation. I expect them to kick ass and possibly have the best match of the night, which with these three men should be expected. The title shot is all well and good, but the punishment for the loser may end up not being as good, as most will expect that person to win the BFG Series, and that may turn people off. But I give them credit for trying something new. I say Roode wins, pinning AJ.
Winner: Bobby Roode
Loser: AJ Styles
Gavin Napier:
What a fun match this should be. It's almost like Benoit vs. Triple H when Shawn Michaels shoehorned himself in. Okay, maybe not that good, but the concept applies. Styles, Storm, and Roode should play off of each other beautifully in the ring. There's no reason to keep Storm or Roode away from the title picture. AJ doesn't need the title to be over, and a year long build to his title shot at next year's Bound for Glory could help get interest in him revived after the awful Claire Lynch storyline.
Winner: Robert Roode
Loser: AJ Styles
James Wright:
Ah, here is the type of convoluted stipulation match that I was expecting, still in a way I kind of like it. Only one thing could make it better and that is if it was officially called a 'Turning Point' match, after all for two of the men it will be a turning point in their career, one will challenge for the world title, and another will not get to be in the title picture for almost a year. It might not be of huge importance this year, but I could see this match gimmick becoming really important in years to come if it did become the signature match of the PPV, giving a young talent his shot, denying an old rival, leaving a frustrated upper-mid-carder to dangle in the same place while the other two men in the match move onto different stages in their careers, just for the lols. I'm sure the contest will be great and the three former members of Fourtune will put on a good show, the winner will most likely directly relate to the winner of the main event so I am going to say that AJ gets the pin and it is on Storm, because he missed the boat at last year's Lockdown, so what's another year?
Winner: AJ Styles
Loser: James Storm
Ken Hill
: Don't get me wrong, I'm excited for a match between three former members of Fortune, but for once it feels like AJ doesn't really belong in this mix. Part of the Roode-Storm feud was Roode saying Storm will never be champion as long as Bobby is around, and if this was one-on-one, I'd give it to Storm for closure. However, AJ's been inserted for the only reason I can think of, and that's to eat the pinfall to keep Roode in the loop.
Winner: Bobby Roode
Loser: AJ Styles
411Mania Staff Pick (Winner):
Bobby Roode (5, 1 for AJ Styles)
411Mania Staff Pick (Loser):
AJ Styles (4, 2 for James Storm)
World Championship – Ladder Match
Jeff Hardy (champion) vs. Austin Aries
Greg DeMarco:
I'd just like to point this out: Austin Aries...still a TNA main eventer! He faces Jeff Hardy once again, and I expect him to lose once again. The redemption story is completed for Jeff Hardy, and we need to get a few PPV title defenses in before Hardy loses as part of the Aces & Eights storyline.
Again, this will be a great match regardless of the finish. I suspect that finish will see Jeff Hardy hoisting the championship belt(s) up high.
Winner: Jeff Hardy (and still TNA World Champion)
Michael Weyer:
TNA has to see that Hardy just isn't right for the main event scene. He may be cheered by fans but still trouble and Aries is so much hotter. Plus, since going heel, he's become the cocky jerk who won people over in the first place. Having Hardy win at BFG was a nice reward but TNA must see Aries is the real future of the company and getting the belt back over Hardy in his own style of match is the right move. So they have a fantastic battle but Aries manages to cheat his way to win and hotter than ever which is what TNA needs.
Winner and NEW TNA World Champion: Austin Aries
Larry Csonka:
These two had a good match at BFG, and with Hardy always busting ass is ladder matches and Aries being the greatest man that ever lived, this should be another great match. I see Hardy as a long-term champion for the company, and he should retain here.
Winner: Jeff Hardy
Gavin Napier:
I think taking the title off of Austin Aries so quickly was a mistake, and I hope it didn't have anything to do with television ratings. Live crowds were connecting with Aries in magnificent fashion, and he's absolutely amazing in the ring. Hardy is going to sell t-shirts with or without the title. It has allowed Aries to revert to being his natural heel self again, though, which is nice. Austin Aries playing the face was awkward. Unfortunately, I think we're stuck with Hardy's face-title for a little while longer.
Winner: Jeff Hardy
James Wright:
Now while Styles vs. Hardy would be a great rivalry, and might continue the trend of heel turns for athletic guys who face off against Jeff Hardy, the real reason I picked Styles is because I am putting all my faith in Sweet Zombie Jebus and hoping that Aries will get the win and the title here, beating Hardy in his own match. Now that probably won't happen, hell it could even be Hardy vs. Storm at the next PPV, but I just can't in my heart predict that as it makes me physically ill. Hardy won the title at Bound For Glory, it justified the series and gave him his redemption, great, now get the title off the self-deluded freak before he pulls another Victory Road! Also Aries vs. Styles would be awesome, especially with AJ's pure-of-heart nature and Aries' sleazy attitude that could really play off each other well.
Winner: Austin Aries
Ken Hill
: If I recall correctly, Hardy defended his title in a similar situation against CM Punk at Summerslam '09: A ladder match against an opponent who's a novice at ladder-oriented matches. Hardy lost that match, and I feel lightning will strike twice here. TNA has to recognize that Aries is a hot ticket right now. He's the cocky son-of-a-bitch that fans both envy and want to cheer because of his brash, no-nonsense attitude. Hardy's a merchandise cash cow with and WITHOUT the championship, and I'm hoping TNA rectifies the short-sighted mistake they made at Bound For Glory.
Winner and NEW TNA World Champion: Austin Aries
411Mania Staff Pick:
Overall Impression
Greg DeMarco:
TNA rarely delivers two less-than-great PPVs in a row, at least in 2012. Thus, I expect this to be a great show. All but one of the matches are going to be good to great, and the show itself should be entertaining.
Buy or No Buy: Buy
Michael Weyer:
A bit iffy as a lot of rematches and not sure if they'll be as good as the first times were. Some might want to check it out for Aries/Hardy and the three-way match but overall, mostly a "filler" PPV for the company, despite their strong push of late. So maybe wait for another show that looks even hotter.
Buy or No Buy: No Buy
Larry Csonka:
Looks solid enough, and the three way for the title shot and ladder match should be great. For disclosure, I buy to write about the shows, so I go buy.
Buy or No Buy: Buy
Gavin Napier: Looks like a solid show, but I'm going to have a semester of classes to sign up for soon and Christmas presents to buy. It probably won't live up to shows like Slammiversary, Bound for Glory, or Destination X this year, but it won't be awful either. I'll end up seeing it at some point, just not live on pay per view.
Buy or No Buy: No Buy.
James Wright:
I'm actually looking forward to this PPV, it has snuck up on me but I think it could be a pretty good show. I don't think it will be groundbreaking or anything, and I'm not sure if the average WWE fan should choose to order it over Survivor Series next week, but I'd imagine it'll be worth a watch and once again I will play my 'UK Get TNA Free' card and say that I'll be watching it.
Buy or No Buy: Buy
Ken Hill
: ODB/Tara/Jessie trash aside, it feels like a decent enough post-BFG PPV that I can sink my teeth into. Hardy-Aries and the triple threat should be great, and Kaz/Daniels and Angle should be able to help their opponents to at least a **1/2 or *** match. I'll give it a go.
Buy or No Buy: Buy

Clinton B. Ford Observatory News
Observatory Open House
Public Night Schedule:
Regular public nights at the Observatory are scheduled for the following evenings:
Friday, Nov. 15 8:00-10:00 PM ← Cancelled due to weather! Friday, Dec. ??-TBA 8:00-10:00 PM ← Not a chance - the weather is terrible!
To attend a public night, just show at the entrance to the Center for Health Sciences Building in F-Lot. A shuttle van will make regular runs to convey people up to the Observatory and back down. There is no parking available up at the Observatory. The access road is NOT lighted, so please do not walk up.
Bad Weather Plan:
The Go/No-Go decision for any public night will be made at 3:30 PM on the scheduled date. This page and the recorded message at the observatory will be updated shortly thereafter to reflect the decision for that evening. So if you reload this page or call the observatory at 274-3012 after about 4:00 PM (to give me time to update things) you will get the final decision for that evening.
The Mouse's Tale
02/25/05. In the fall of 2004, while I was on sabbatical leave, the large telescope stopped working. A little detective work showed that a mouse had built a nest among the telescope control wires, and had chewed them. Repairs will be begin after the damage has been assessed. To follow the progress, check out the Mouse Hunt page.
04/05/05. The telescope has been repaired. Check out the repair story on the Repairs page.
The Name of the Observatory:
The Ithaca College Board of Trustees has voted to name the new observatory in honor of Clinton B. Ford. Ford was a famous amateur astronomer, and served for years as Treasurer and President of the American Association of Variable Star Observers (AAVSO). He became a member of the College's Board of Trustees in 1966 and was awarded honorary status in 1988, four years before he died. Among his bequests to the College, Ford left three of his telescopes and some money explicity for astronomy. The money was used to obtain a matching grant from the National Science Foundation for the purchase of a telescope and observing equipment for the new observatory, which will henceforth be known as the Clinton B. Ford Observatory.
Observatory Information:
We also have information available about the location and design of the observatory, as well as pictures of the construction of the observatory.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – It was a battle of nationally ranked lightweight crews for the Geiger Cup on the waters of the Charles River on Saturday, with No. 4 Cornell, No. 7 Columbia and No. 11 MIT vying for the trophy. In the end it was the Big Red crew that came away with the prize, with MIT finishing 3rd.
In the Varsity 8 race Cornell finished the 2,000-meter course in 6:11.4, holding off challenges from the Columbia crew that crossed the line 7.2 seconds behind. MIT could not keep pace with the other two boats and finished third in 6:41.4.
MIT's Frosh/Novice team continued to have a strong season with a second-place finish in their race. The Big Red held off the Engineers at the end, taking the race by just 4.7 seconds. Columbia entry had an over-the-head crab that stopped the boat midway through the race and finished third, 14 seconds behind MIT.
MIT and Cornell also had a pair of Varsity Four boats race, with the Big Red crews finishing ahead of both MIT entries.
MIT will race again next weekend when it travels to Philadelphia to take on crews from Penn and Delaware on the Schuylkill River on Saturday.

It is not enough to have insight; we must be able to put it into action in every area of our lives. Thats why it is said that wisdom without compassion is not true wisdom. At each step we have the ability to act for the benefit of all beings which, of course, includes our own benefit. But we must be willing to let go of all of our ideas, all abstract notions about practice, so we can truly bring it to life.
