Loma Linda University, Loma Linda, CA
PURPOSE: Monitoring respiration of spontaneously breathing patients with chronic obstructive lung disease (COPD) is a concern in a variety of clinical areas including the operating room, post anesthesia care unit (PACU), and on the general care wards. These patients require careful vigilance. We evaluated the accuracy of prototype bioacoustic sensor in adult patients with and without COPD in the PACU.
METHODS: Following IRB approval and informed consent, upon arrival to the PACU, 38 patients were enrolled. All patients received standard monitors; in addition, a nasal cannula was connected to a capnometer (SIMS, Waukesha WI). A prototype adhesive bioacoustic sensor connected to a breathing frequency monitor (Masimo Corp, Irvine CA) was applied to the neck lateral to the cricoid cartilage. The capnometer and bioacoustic monitor were connected to a computer for continuous recording and subsequent analysis. The accuracy of the new acoustic sensor and the capnometer were compared to a reference respiratory rate from a manual scoring system. Bias, precision and ARMS were calculated in the usual fashion, as either bioacoustic sensor-reference or capnometer-reference.
RESULTS: All data is expressed as mean ± standard deviation. 27 patients without COPD (age = 51.6 ± 22.5 years) and 11 patients with COPD (age = 51.1 ± 9.8 years) were enrolled. Duration of monitoring time was 69.4 ± 39.9 min. For the patients without COPD, the resultant bias, precision and ARMS for the capnometer was −0.74, 2.37, and 2.48 and bioacoustic sensor was −0.01, 2.38, and 2.38 respectively. For the patients with COPD, the resultant bias, precision and ARMS for the capnometer was −0.31, 2.46, and 2.48 and bioacoustic sensor was 0.01, 2.76, and 2.76 respectively.
CONCLUSION: The new prototype bioacoustic respiratory sensor demonstrates accuracy for respiratory rate monitoring as good as capnometry in PACU patients with and without COPD.
CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: This data suggests the new bioacoustic sensor may provide an improved monitoring system for patients in a general care setting.

A month after New York Democrat Eric Massa resigned from Congress, the House ethics committee has created a special investigative panel to look into what it calls "serious" allegations surrounding the case.
Massa resigned in March following allegations that he had sexually harassed aides in his office, a claim he adamantly denied during several radio and television interviews.
The statement from the ethics committee, released today, indicates that part of the panel's charge will be to determine who knew about the allegations and when. According to the statement, "officers or employees of the House of Representatives may have failed to properly report or fully disclose allegations of such misconduct."
Republicans, including House Minority Leader John Boehner, have called for a more thorough accounting of how the allegations were reported to Democratic leaders and when they took action. The new subcommittee will be led by Rep. Zoe Lofgren, D-Calif., and Rep. Jo Bonner, R-Ala.
New questions have surfaced in the case since Massa's departure. For instance, the former congressman wrote a $40,000 check to his chief of staff, Joe Racalto, shortly before resigning. Racalto has filed a sexual harassment complaint against Massa.
Updated at 5:40 p.m. ET. Two statements released by House leaders are worth noting.
First, House Minority Leader John Boehner said "members of Congress, especially leaders, have clear responsibilities when it comes to protecting congressional employees and interns from harassment and abuse. I hope this investigation will establish, in a timely fashion, whether the Democratic leadership lived up to those standards."
Next up, House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, who has maintained that his office directed Massa's aides to notify the ethics committee after first hearing about them. "Majority Leader Hoyer, through both his words and actions, has always made it clear that the bipartisan ethics committee should take all appropriate action regarding the allegations against former-Rep. Massa," Hoyer spokeswoman Katie Grant said. "Republicans should put their energy into working with us in a bipartisan way on this effort and allow their Republican colleagues to work with Democrats on the bipartisan ethics committee without any more partisan grandstanding."

Gloom descended on the Square Mile as Wall Street fell below 10,000 for the first time in two months and the Footsie slumped to its lowest level of the year amid growing concern that US corporate earnings in the second-half will not be as robust as in the first.
The Footsie had lost Wednesday's 37.9 point gain before dealers had digested their cornflakes. It continued to fall as investors ran for the exit and buyers took the view that it was probably safer to take a back seat and watch England get off to a great start in the first Test at Lords. The London close was 71 points down at 4306.3 and 5.89% below April's peak of 4575.7.
A stronger-than- expected jump in June retail sales raised expectations that Bank of England governor Mervyn King and his Monetary Policy Committee will raise UK interest rates by a further 1/4% to 4 3/4% early next month.
The dreary Dow followed Wednesday's late overnight collapse of 103 points with a further 99-point decline to 9947.02 after an unexpected fall in the index of leading economic indicators. But the Dow rallied later to close marginally ahead on the day.
The tech-laden Nasdaq fell a further 15 points at the outset on further consideration of a Texas Instrument executive's warning that growth in the mobile phone industry will slow.
Asset manager Amvescap denied rumours that it was considering a rights issue in order to fund penalties imposed upon its Invesco unit in the US for trading breaches. Sold down to 308 1/4p, it ended 14p off at 316 3/4p.
Hedge fund giant Man Group fell 54p to 1400p.
Fund manager and life assurance group HHG bucked the trend to rise 2 1/2p to 50 1/2p on vague takeover talk. Reinsurer Benfield firmed 10p to 235p amid whispers of an imminent deal.
Revived rumours of the ancient Santander takeover gossip lifted struggling mortgage bank Abbey National 13 1/2p to 493p.
Sir Richard Branson's newly-floated Virgin Mobile succumbed to selling. Priced at the bottom end of the group's revised 200p to 220p valuation when dealings began on Wednesday, it plummeted to 190 3/4p before closing 8 1/2p down at 192 1/2p.
Financial public relations firm Hansard, run by former stockbroker Adam Reynolds, provided plenty of fireworks in the Aim market. Up 9 1/2p on Wednesday, it soared a further 28 1/2p to a record 74 1/2p ahead of an imminent statement.
The word is that the thriving company is raising £11m in a placing at 30p in order to fund the purchase of another City financial PR business and a leisure property business. Former City whiz kid and racehorse owner Terry Ramsden is taking a sizable stake in the placing and is also being awarded options at 50p per share.
Ramsden's shareholding will eventually be around 22% and he, along with Reynolds, will use Hansard as his new vehicle going forward. Both have extensive experience in financial markets. It should be an exciting ride.
Ramsden recently took an 11.1% stake in cash shell Leisureplay (1 5/8p up at 16 7/8p), formerly known as Murray Financial, following the sale by activist investor Resurge of its 29.9% stake.
Media content minnow Oakgate, run by former Bisgood Bishop stockbroker Leo Knifton, jumped 5p to 33 1/2p on talk of an earnings-enhancing deal.
Confirmation of a 3.5 carat diamond discovery in Lesotho, Africa, prompted a sparkling gain of 13 1/2p to 78 1/2p in European Diamonds. Broker Numis's target price is 400p. It says its discovery is a significant indicator of better quality stones and grades to come. It also expects outperformance on the discovery of a significant diamond pipe in Finland.
Shares of construction group Johnson were demolished following a profits warning. They crashed 40p to 247 1/2p after the board said profits for 2004 will fall substantially below expectations.

Betelgeuse in fiction
The planetary systems of stars other than the Sun, such as Betelgeuse, are a staple element in much science fiction.
The star Betelgeuse[edit]
Betelgeuse (Alpha Orionis) is a bright red star in the constellation Orion frequently featured in works of science fiction. A red supergiant, Betelgeuse is one of the largest and most luminous stars known. If it were at the center of our Solar System its surface would extend past the asteroid belt, possibly to the orbit of Jupiter or even beyond, wholly engulfing Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. Classified as an M-type main sequence star, and located around 640 light-years from Earth, Betelgeuse shares with the much closer but smaller star Altair (and with R Doradus) the distinction that its image has been resolved by astronomers (see graphic[1]).
In another false-color image obtained by infrared interferometry[2] two large, bright star spots spanning ~10 milliarcseconds are visible on the surface of Betelgeuse, possibly representing enormous convective cells rising from below the supergiant's surface.[3] Because of these, Betelgeuse appears to change shape periodically, with a complex, asymmetric envelope that is the product of a colossal ongoing loss of mass, as huge plumes of gas are continuously expelled from its surface (see "Tony and the Beetles" by Philip K. Dick, below). There is some evidence for the existence of close stellar companions of Betelgeuse, orbiting it within its gaseous envelope (see From a Changeling Star by Jeffrey Carver and the television series Space Battleship Yamato, below).
Astronomers believe that this tremendous star is only 10 million years old, but has evolved rapidly because of its great mass. Currently in a late stage of stellar evolution, it is expected to erupt in a Type II supernova, possibly within the next million years (see From a Changeling Star by Jeffrey Carver, "Transit of Betelgeuse" by Robert R. Chase and Calculating God by Robert J. Sawyer, below).
Betelgeuse is the eighth-brightest star in the night sky and second-brightest star in the constellation of Orion, outshining its neighbour Rigel (Beta Orionis) only rarely. Distinctly reddish-tinted, it is a semiregular variable star whose apparent magnitude oscillates between 0.2 and 1.2, the widest range of any first magnitude star. It marks the upper right vertex of the Winter Triangle and center of the Winter Hexagon.[4][5]
There is considerable controversy about the Arabic language origin of the name Betelgeuse, with some dozens of possible derivations and spellings proposed and used across history. A theory that is gaining wide acceptance is that of Paul Kunitzsch, Professor of Arabic Studies at the University of Munich, who has proposed that the full name of the "ruddy star"[6] Betelgeuse is a corruption of the Arabic (يد الجوزاء yad al-jauzā' ) meaning the hand of the al-jauzā, where al-jauzā is the Central One, or Orion.[7] Since, prior to the scientific revolution, the study of astronomy was intimately connected with mythology and astrology, the ruddy star—like the red planet Mars—was for millennia closely associated with the archetypes of iron and war, and by extension the motifs of death and rebirth.[6] In South African mythology, Betelgeuse was a deadly lion stalking three zebras represented by the stars in Orion's belt in the age-old drama of predation and nourishment.[8] Betelgeuse has also appeared variously in the folklore of cultures including ancient Persia, India, China, and Japan.
General uses of Betelgeuse[edit]
Betelgeuse may be referred to in fictional works for its metaphorical (meta) or mythological (myth) associations, or else as a bright point of light in the sky of the Earth, but not as a location in space or the center of a planetary system:
- Far from the Madding Crowd (1874), novel by Thomas Hardy. Betelgeuse makes a single appearance in this book, as a companion of other prominent stars (The kingly brilliancy of Sirius pierced the eye with a steely glitter, the star called Capella was yellow, Aldebaran and Betelgeuse shone with a fiery red.).[9] (sky)
- Storm and Echo (1948), novel by Frederic Prokosch. Prokosch wrote "travel novels" that were a blend of travelogue, story, philosophy, symbolism, and fantasy. In Storm and Echo, a story about tropical travels, he wrote: And that night for the first time I came face to face with it. The real unutterable thing: the thing I'd never dared to visualize. Death. My own death. The possibility, corrupt and glaring, of my own extinction. It was like swimming alone at night in a hot, shoreless sea. I felt abominably alone. Twelve men and a woman marching in a column through the Equator. No other trace of humanity. No trace of history even. It might for all we knew have been the wastes of Betelgeuse.[10] (meta)
- The Caine Mutiny (1951), novel by Herman Wouk. Captain Queeg (Humphrey Bogart) has been snooping in the radio shack, and he throws a tantrum when he discovers that the Caine is merely copying the Pearl "harbor circuit" broadcast from the attack cargo ship Betelgeuse rather than mounting its own radio guard. He is later confronted by Communications officer Lieutenant Thomas Keefer (Fred MacMurray) in the shower: "[Sure] we pick up the skeds from the Betelgeuse. They guard for all destroyers in port. It's standard procedure," [shouts] Keefer.[11] (meta)
- Justine (1957), Alexandria Quartet novel by Lawrence Durrell. Justine's husband Nessim builds her an exquisite summer pleasure house, at a tiny oasis on the coastal desert between Alexandria and Benghazi. She in turn builds him a small observatory on the premises. Here Nessim would sit night after night in the winter, dressed in his old rust colored abba, staring gravely at Betelgeuse, or hovering over books of calculations for all the world like some medieval soothsayer.[12] (sky)
- "Rummage and Loss" (1977), short story by David Black published in Harper's Magazine. In the story, Black reminisces about Jacques-Louis David's neoclassical painting of Homer Reciting his Verses to the Greeks: The only other place I had seen people in togas before was in Flash Gordon movies ... the scene struck me as classic science fiction: an elder of Betelgeuse warns the cosmic council about the invasion of the Centauri locust-gods.[13] (myth)
- Beetlejuice (1988), film written by Michael McDowell, Warren Skaaren and Larry Wilson, and directed by Tim Burton. Barbara and Adam Maitland visit their lovely New England country home; the trouble is, they seem to be dead (there was some sort of accident on the way). When the house is sold—as part of the estate settlement—to an obnoxious animate family, the Maitlands hire Betelgeuse, an undead "bio-exorcist" who gets rid of living apparitions rather than dead ones.
- PlanetSide 2 (2012), a MMOFPS developed by Daybreak Games has a Vanu Sovereignty LMG called Betelgeuse. It was initially considered extremely overpowered by most players because of its infinite ammo and high mobility. The mobility was later reduced, but compensated with better accuracy, so it still remains as one of the most powerful weapons in the game.
- Zogg from Betelgeuse a youtube channel by an alien anthropologist to teach aliens about humans, or 'earthlings' as Zogg calls us. The channel describes language, maths evolution, ethics, humour and more through an outsider perspective. The channel has currently 35 000 subscribers but has not released a video since 2014.
There follow references to Betelgeuse as a location in space or the center of a planetary system, categorized by genre:
- Betelguese, a trip through hell (1908), a poetic work by Jean Louis De Esque, where hell is located on Betelguese because De Esque believed that it was "a celestial pariah, an outcast, the largest of all known comets or outlawed suns in the universe." And Betelguese, an evil lair / With infernal, warring legions / Careens as stars shed tears of woe.[14] The poem is rife with descriptions of the terrifying aspects of hell, those that dwell there, and the actions thereof.
- The Cthulhu Mythos (1921- ), fictional universe created by H. P. Lovecraft et al. In August Derleth's interpretation of the Mythos, Betelgeuse is the home of the benign Elder Gods.[15]
- Tékumel (~1940- ), novels and games by Professor Muhammad Barker. Betelgeuse is the home sun of the Urunén, or Cold-Dwellers. Barker created numerous alien races inhabiting various star systems, many of which are documented in the article Stars and planetary systems in fiction. In particular, see: Achernar, Algenubi, Algol, Alhena, Antares, Arcturus, Dorsum, Ensis, Markab, Mirach, Nu Ophiuchi, Procyon, Regulus, and Unukalhai.
- "Tony and the Beetles" (1953), short story by Philip K. Dick. World-by-world, Terran colonists have driven the Beetles—the original inhabitants of the Betelgeuse system—from the star's 23 planets. This is the last planet, and the aliens' last stand. Young Tony Rossi has moral qualms and shiny-shelled Beetle playmates, much to the disgust of his father, and trouble is coming. Author Dick paints an accurate picture of the appearance of Betelgeuse as an inconstant primary in the sky: "The reddish daylight swelled; Betelgeuse was rising quietly and majestically ... [but it was] an erratic and undependable sun, not at all like Sol."[16]
- "Shell Game" (1954), short story by Philip K. Dick. A group of paranoid mental patients long stranded on Betelgeuse II discover the remains of their shipwrecked hospital vessel "...sunk in the half-liquid ooze that made up the surface of Betelgeuse II. Nocturnal phosphorescence danced and flitted over the bog..."[17] They comb through the hulk, seeking evidence to resolve a matter of contention: Are they all the victims of a conspiracy instigated by the alien, shell-clad Beetles, or by Terrans—or is there no conspiracy at all? The story explores the difficulty of distinguishing delusion from actuality, and later served as a partial inspiration for the psychiatric asylum world in the novel Clans of the Alphane Moon. The story also represents an early example of Dick's paranoia about the manipulation of consensual reality and his obsessive revisiting of the conflict between objective reality and a world of appearances imposed upon characters by various means and processes.[18]
- The Sirens of Titan (1959), novel written by Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. Wealthy explorer Winston Niles Rumfoord, accompanied by his dog, "had run his private space ship right into the heart of an uncharted chrono-synclastic infundibulum two days out of Mars ... Now Winston Niles Rumfoord and his dog Kazak existed as wave phenomena—apparently pulsing in a distorted spiral with its origin in the Sun and its terminal in Betelguese. The earth was about to intercept that spiral.".[19] As long as the Earth remains in the infundibulum Rumfoord, who has suffered total enlightenment, is restored to material form on the planet and functions in the story as an infallible prognosticator.
- The Red Eye of Betelgeuse [Rotes Auge Beteigeuze] and The Earth Dies [Die Erde Stirbt] (1962), installments 48-49 [40-41 in the U.S. edition][20] of the Perry Rhodan series of space-opera pulp novelettes, both installments written by Walter Ernsting as by Clark Darlton. In these installments of the long-running English version of the [originally German] series, Perry Rhodan battles the Springers (a race of merchants descended from the Arkonides of the Great Imperium in globular cluster M13—see graphic) who plan to colonize the Earth. Rhodan has to simulate the destruction of our world in order to divert the ever more intrusive Springers, and give humanity the time it needs to develop into a galactic power. Deceived by him, and believing it to be the Earth, the Springers attack Betelgeuse III and destroy it.[21]
- Planet of the Apes (1963), novel by Pierre Boulle. Professor Antelle, a scientific genius of Earth, has invented a spaceship that can travel at nearly the speed of light. He and his companions voyage to the star Betelgeuse, said to be "about three hundred light years distant from our planet," and "emit[ting] red and orange lights";[22] at the end of their spacefaring they awaken from cryosleep to discover themselves near an earthlike planet that they name Soror (Sister). The crew lands, is overcome by a tribe of primitive humans, and then captured by intelligent gorillas and chimpanzees, who enslave them and treat them as dumb beasts. At the novel's climax, they make a startling discovery about the history of Soror. They escape and return to the Earth, where they make an even more startling discovery.[note 1]
- Dune (1965) and other novels in the Dune universe by Frank Herbert. Bela Tegeuse is the common name of Kuentsing V, third stopping place of the Zensunni (Fremen) forced migration. This name is a probable corruption of Betelgeuse.[25]
- Starmasters' Gambit (1973), translated from the French novel Le Gambit des Etoiles (1958) written by Gérard Klein. The human sector of the galaxy is governed from Betelgeuse. Protagonist Jerg Algan journeys to the Betelgeuse system to deliver a crucial message from the "Masters" to the galactic government.
- The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (1978- ), novels and other media by Douglas Adams. Ford Prefect, roving researcher for that "wholly remarkable book," The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, hails from a small planet somewhere in the vicinity of Betelgeuse as does his semi-cousin Zaphod Beeblebrox, with whom he shares three mothers. References to residents and places on the planets orbiting Betelgeuse (for example Zaphod's favourite mother, Mrs. Alice Beeblebrox, who is a resident of 108 Astral Crescent / Zoovroozlechester / Betelgeuse V) are made throughout most versions of the Hitchhiker's Guide saga.[26]
- The Robots of Dawn (1983), novel by Isaac Asimov. Detective Elijah Baley, fresh from his detecting successes in The Caves of Steel, is summoned to the Spacer world Aurora (Dawn) to investigate a case of "roboticide": The mind of R. Jander Panell, a humaniform robot similar to R. Daneel Olivaw, has been destroyed with a robot block ("mental freeze-out").[27] On his approach to Aurora he tries out an astrosimulator which projects a view of space directly onto his visual cortex; wishing to get a view of his nearby destination, he uses the star Betelgeuse as a reference point.[27]
- From a Changeling Star (1989), novel by Jeffrey Carver. Across the galaxy, tensions are rising between the Tandesko Triune and the Auricle Alliance. Nevertheless, scientists of both sides have come together in Project Starmuse, to observe the giant star Betelgeuse as it goes supernova (see graphic). At a space station imbedded inside the roiling star, the team anxiously awaits the return of the one man essential to the success of the project: Willard Ruskin, who must find a way to reach Betelgeuse before his enemies sabotage Starmuse ... and humankind's future among the stars.
- "Transit of Betelgeuse" (1990),[28] novelette published in Analog Science Fiction and Fact by Robert R. Chase.[29] The spaceship Endeavor attempts to rescue the human inhabitants of the Betelgeuse system shortly before it explodes as a supernova (see graphic). In the sequel novelette "Endeavor" (Analog, 2005)[30] the rescue ship, with refugees aboard, must outrun the rapidly expanding supernova remnant.
- Calculating God (2000), novel written by Robert J. Sawyer. The alien visitor Hollus comes here to study accumulated human knowledge, with the intention of gathering evidence about the existence of God. At the end of the novel, the star Betelgeuse becomes a supernova in the sky of Earth, threatening all life within hundreds of light-years, and now humanity (see graphic). Hollus explains that the actual cataclysm was purposely ignited centuries ago by the physically moribund civilization of Groombridge 1618 III in order to sterilize the stellar neighborhood, an act performed to protect from the meddling of nearby races the otherwise vulnerable virtual reality machinery that would house and immortalize the dying species' personalities.[31]
Film and television[edit]
- Space Battleship Yamato (1974–75), Japanese anime series written by Leiji Matsumoto and Yoshinobu Nishizaki, and directed by Leiji Matsumoto. The surface of the Earth is rendered uninhabitable by a radioactive meteor attack launched by aliens from the planet Gamilas in the Large Magellanic Cloud. Informed of the availability of a global decontamination device from a different, friendlier LMC planet, humans secretly build a huge intergalactic retrieval ship incorporating the hulk of the WWII superdreadnaught Yamato. In the 12th of 26 episodes, the starship Yamato is lured into a trap near Betelgeuse and escapes by passing out of ken through the star's corona.
- Blade Runner (1982), film. Betelgeuse (α Ori) and Bellatrix (γ Ori) are the two shoulders of the hunter figure in the constellation Orion (see graphic). In his much-quoted Tears in rain soliloquy, which has been described as "perhaps the most moving death soliloquy in cinematic history,"[32] the dying replicant Roy Batty declares, "I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. [pause] Time to die." See also Gamma Orionis (Bellatrix).
- Quicksand (1950), film. At approximately 16 minutes and 25 seconds into the film, actress Jeanne Cagney directs Mickey Rooney's attention to Betelgeuse. She first pronounces it as 'Beetle-jurz'. Rooney replies, "Who?". Cagney repeats the name and then says, "'Beetlejuice', Dave used to call it."
- Space Dandy (2014), Japanese anime series directed by Shinichiro Watanabe and produced by Bones. Betelgeuse is the home world of the Betelgeusians, notably Meow. The star system is the number one consumer of katsuobushi (dried tuna flakes). While there are 65 billion Betelgeuseans, it is unknown how many of them actually inhabit the Betelgeuse system. Unlike most planets shown in the series, Planet Betelgeuse resembles to the current Earth greatly on the surface. Meow's hometown is shown to be much like contemporary rural Japan, and his family lives in a modern house complete with wiring, water supply, and modern amenities.
- Re:Zero -Starting Life In Another World- (2016), Japanese anime series and light novel. Romanée-Conti Betelgeuse is one of the great seven sins and the archbishop of Sloth.
- In the TV series Lost In Space, the second-season episode "Treasure of the Lost Planet" involves a hunt for the long-lost loot of a space pirate named Beelibones, who stole something valuable from a planet in the Betelgeuse (mispronounced "Betelgeezy") system.
- 2000AD (1977- ), British comic book series written by John Wagner, Alan Grant, Pat Mills, Grant Morrison, Mark Millar, Ian Edginton, and Alan Moore. A long-running joke in the ongoing series (where the Judge Dredd character originated) is that the editor of 2000 AD is Tharg the Mighty, a green extraterrestrial from the planet Quaxxann in the Betelgeuse system, who terms his readers "Earthlets." Here are a few snippets of Tharg's Quaxxanni catchphrases with their English equivalents: Grexnix = a churlish person, an ignoramus; Quaequam Blag! = (expression of surprise or outrage).
- Bucky O'Hare (1984- ), comic series created by Larry Hama and Michael Golden. The series is set in a parallel universe (the aniverse), where there is war between the inept but fundamentally decent United Animals Federation (run by mammals) and the sinister Toad Empire, which is ruled by a vast and manipulative computer system, KOMPLEX. Betelgeuse is the home system of a race of muscular orange-furred baboons.
- Bételgeuse (2000–2005), series of comic books by Luiz Eduardo de Oliveira (as by Léo). The series is set on a planet of the Betelgeuse star system. The series comprises five volumes: La Planète (The Planet - 2000), Les Survivants (The Survivors - 2001), L'expédition (The Expedition - 2002), Les Cavernes (The Caves - 2003) and L'autre (The Other - 2005).
- BattleTech (1984), wargame and related products launched by The FASA Corporation. Although Capella is the former governing system of the Capellan Confederation Successor State, the principal players in the Confederation's diminutive military-industrial complex are Aldis Industries and Firmir Weaponry, both located in the Betelgeuse system. These armorers are generalists, producing cheap, flexible weapons that function well in a variety of combat conditions.
- Vattle Giuce (1991), a shoot 'em up Game Boy title developed by IGS. The game's Japanese title (ヴァトルギウス) appears to be a mistransliteration of Betelgeuse, or was possibly just a deliberate attempt at wordplay, such as a conjugation of battle and geuse.
- Star Control II (1992), computer game developed by Toys for Bob and published by Accolade. The Syreen lived in idyllic peace until their homeworld Syra was destroyed in a cataclysmic impact with a rogue asteroid. After enduring a mass exodus from their dying planet, and a series of unplanned military adventures and reverses, they are finally given a new homeworld by the Ur-Quan super-race: The earthlike planet Betelgeuse I, which they name Gaia. The name "Syreen" is a play on the mythical temptresses called sirens because of the alluring nature of Syrene females. As with many other stars of the game, Star Control's Betelgeuse has little in common with the real one, being a blue dwarf instead of a red supergiant.
- Frontier: Elite II (1993) and Frontier: First Encounters (1995), computer games written by David Braben et al. Betelgeuse is an uninhabited star system hundreds of light-years away from any settled system.

Notes and references[edit]
- ^ In the 1968 film version (having the same name as the novel, Planet of the Apes), Commander George Taylor (Charlton Heston) states, "We're some 320 light years from Earth on an unnamed planet in orbit around a star in the constellation of Orion."[23] In the novel Planet of the Apes that star is Betelgeuse. The distance declared by Heston in the film accords well with the value stated for Betelgeuse early in the novel—"about three hundred light years distant from our planet" (notwithstanding that the current best value for the distance to Betelgeuse is at least 500 ly from the Earth[24]). It is also true that no other major star in Orion is anywhere near 320 light years away. In spite of this narrowing of the field of candidates, circumstantial evidence weighs against the film's destination sun being identified as Betelgeuse: rather than looming crimson in the sky as a red supergiant, it appears indistinguishable from the Sun of our own planet—where in fact the film was made.
In Boulle's novel, the spacefarers do not "awaken from cryosleep"—indeed, they do not utilize cryosleep at all, but remain awake during the nearly two years of ship-time spent on the journey. It is in the 1968 film version that so-called cryosleep is used by the American astronauts; the astronaut Taylor (portrayed by Charlton Heston) refers to "the long sleep" of nearly a year of ship-time during which his crew spends the majority of their voyage towards the unnamed star that is their destination.

The yellowish red "image" or "photo" of Betelgeuse usually seen is actually not a picture of the red giant but rather a mathematically generated image based on the photograph. The photograph was actually of much lower resolution: The entire Betelgeuse image fit entirely within a 10x10 pixel area on the Hubble Space Telescope's Faint Object Camera. The actual images were oversampled by a factor of 5 with bicubic spline interpolation, then deconvolved (see Plate L2).

James Bond producers worried by indefinite delay
By Bryan Alexander
LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - The "James Bond 007: Blood Stone" video game event in London this month had all the class and splash one would expect from the world's most elegant spy.
Guests sipped Champagne in the historic former church venue One Marylebone and inspected pieces of Bond memorabilia including Oddjob's hat from "Goldfinger" and Jaws' famous teeth. The event even featured a video game Bond girl in a stunning black evening dress, the Brit songstress Joss Stone who belts out the game's theme song.
However impressive the Activision launch, big questions about the historic franchise loomed. Longtime Bond producer Michael G. Wilson touched on these unspoken questions from the podium. "I wish we were launching a movie," he quipped, bringing laughter from the audience.
It was a rare public comment and an even rarer moment of mirth in the drawn-out James Bond-MGM saga, which has left the faithful feeling shaken. In April, Wilson and his half sister and fellow Bond producer, Barbara Broccoli, announced that development of the next 007 feature, known as "Bond 23," was suspended "indefinitely."
The baddie who finally managed to knock Bond out of commission? Financial woes at MGM, which owns rights to Bond but is saddled with a crushing $4 billion in debt. Although no one doubts that Bond will be back, questions remain about where the next picture will find its financing and whether the open-ended delay will slow the momentum the franchise had rediscovered on the rugged shoulders of Daniel Craig.
The topic fascinates the legions of Bond fans as well as industry insiders. "It's a business problem that will be solved, and then Bond will be back," said director Phillip Noyce, whose Bond-esque thriller "Salt" has just begun its worldwide campaign. "There's still a lot of hunger out there for the Bond story."
But Bond appears to be left out in the cold as MGM debtholders extended a deadline to get the studio's financial house in order to September 15. Broccoli and Wilson declined comment but are said to be deeply concerned about the effect of an indefinite delay.
"They're completely panicked that if they go five, six years without a Bond movie, it'll be over," a former MGM insider said. "They don't want to kill the golden goose." Continued...

In the aftermath of Juan Carlos's abdication from the Spanish throne, The Spectator's leading article this week underlines the benefits of the Queen remaining as Britain's head of state.
"The best advert for monarchy", said the magazine, was "the sight of Elizabeth II doing as she has done countless times during her long reign: making the short journey from Buckingham Palace to the House of Lords to speak at the state opening of parliament." It continues:
"Here, in one dignified octogenarian and the sense of duty which she exudes, is encapsulated the advantage of monarchy over republic.
Anyone tempted to giggle at the pageantry misses the point. The country has been led by 12 prime ministers since the Queen began her annual, or mostly annual, visit to Westminster.
The Commons has been cleared out by 15 general elections, many of them angry and divisive affairs. Yet the head of state to whom has fallen the duty of reading out forthcoming government bills, has remained constant throughout.
She is a humble reminder to our here-today gone-tomorrow politicians that they are not bigger than the British state, that popularity in an election does not turn Britain into their personal fiefdom, nor the British constitution into their plaything."
I may not giggle, but I cannot help a smirk at that facile argument. First off, what has longevity got to do with anything? Plenty of republics have had 12 prime ministers and 15 general elections since 1952 without imploding.
Just because other heads of state in republics (and monarchies) have come and gone over the past 62 years, the Queen's durability is irrelevant to the debate about the best form of government.
Nor can her ability to read from a prepared statement once a year be regarded as either (a) a major reason for admiration or (b) a justification for the continuance of rule by the House of Windsor.
The Spectator goes on to wax lyrical about the Queen's discretion in refusing to allow people to know what she thinks before taking a side-swipe at Prince Charles for failing to imitate her by concealing his views.
"We would like to think that he would have exhibited the same impartiality as his mother," says the magazine. "But there is at least some probability that he would have shown less self-restraint."
So, with Charles being "less temperamentally suited to the role as monarch", The Spectator believes it would be "folly... to bring the second Elizabethan age to a premature close".
It adds: "Though old age of course brings it frailties, we hope that her reign will last a long while yet."
Gosh! Clearly, The Spectator wishes the 88-year-old Elizabeth to soldier on in the hope that her eldest son and heir croaks before he can succeed.
It does concede that the monarchy, "on the face of it" appears to be "an anachronism at odds with the spirit of democracy and meritocracy", but scorns the "minor clamour for republicanism".
Then it dares to conclude with another British-centric, monarchic argument in favour of "the stability of our political system":
"The multitudes of wealthy foreigners who have made London the most sought-after city on the planet in which to live are not coming for our weather, our landscape or our architecture...
They come to live here because Britain is just about the last country on Earth where you can imagine tanks rolling up outside the parliament building, where you can imagine citizens being jailed for their beliefs or being slaughtered for their wealth."
In other words, monarchy is the protector of our hard-won freedoms and rights. And how wonderful to be able present them for free to incoming "wealthy foreigners."
Do we really believe the citizens of France, the United States, Germany and Ireland live in fear of tanks on their parliamentary lawns? Are they being jailed for their beliefs and fleeing from murderous muggers?
As arguments in favour of monarchy go, The Spectator has done monarchists no favours. Indeed, its singular praise for the Queen surely tends to suggest that she should be the last of her line.

New Delhi, Aug 7: In a bid to increase profitability, Bharti Airtel has hinted at a hike in tariff, saying that there was big opportunities in reducing the freebies.
MD and CEO of Bharti Airtel (India and South Asia), Gopal Vittal said,"Voice realisation is 30-33 paise per minute whereas our rack rates are almost about 90 paise, so there is huge headroom to reduce discounts."
Evidently, the company has increased data prices in the last few months, even though the company seems to be less bothered with it as data is increasing. What, however, concerns them is the fact that the number of calls are decreasing.
Vittal said,"We have made some changes in the last few months, lets see there is an opportunity to cut discounts on voice calls."
Not just Airtel, other companies like Idea Cellular, Vodafone, MTS have increased data prices for 2G and 3G. Post March spectrum auction, industry association said that there would a hike in tariff as operators have to meet commitment to the government.

Rugs! Rugs! Rugs!
Can these creative folks knock it off already? When theyre great at one thing, theyll try something else, and as luck would have it, theyre often pretty great at that, too. Take Devo co-cofunder Mark Mothersbaugh, for example. Being one of the architects of synthpop and new wave just wasnt enough for him; hes also an accomplished visual artist. He paints, and hosts the Marks Magic Pictures drawing segment on wacked-out/created by OCs Christian Jacobs kids show Yo Gabba Gabba! For decades, hes been scrawling impressive doodles on postcards while on tour to send out to his family and friends, collectively called Postcard Diaries. Of course, the next natural step is to turn those images into rugs (yes), and 12 such works comprise the Rugs! Rugs! Rugs! exhibit, stopping at Hibbleton Gallery this month. Opening reception Friday 12/3 at 7 p.m.
Thursdays-Sundays, 11 a.m. Starts: Dec. 4. Continues through Dec. 27, 2009

Nivenia is a genus in the Iridaceae family with 11 species. It is a genus in a group referred to as South African woody irids. This fascinating and little studied group of plants that also includes the genus Witsenia with one species and Klattia with three species can grow to be true shrubs producing thickened woody stems that arise from woody caudices. The largest species and the one with the longest cultivation history, Nivenia corymbosa, can exceed nine feet in height with a woody base more than a foot and a half across! All have leaves in two ranks making stiff fans of foliage along flattened stems. They may not qualify as geophytes, but are certainly related as monocots with a caudex.
Seeds are said to germinate better when treated with smoke water. For more information, consult Martin Grantham's excellent article on how to grow woody irids.
Nivenia binata blooms in the spring with flowers that range from pale blue to dark blue and up to a little over 3/4 in. across. The branching pattern of the inflorescence brings the flowers nearly into a single plane. It is a heterostylous species. It grows in the Swartberg Mountains over a range of conditions. Photo by Andrew Harvie taken in habitat at Seweweekspoort.
Nivenia stokoei has the largest flowers of the genus up to 1.5 in. across that vary from pale silvery blue to deep blue. The foliage is quite waxy glaucous. It grows in a limited coastal area in and around the Kogelberg Biosphere Reserve. When grown under artificial light the flowering time can be shifted. Photo #1 was taken by Martin Grantham in habitat in Kogelberg Biosphere Reserve. Photos 2-4 were taken by Nhu Nguyen and photo 5 was contributed by the UC Botanical Garden.
Information furnished by Martin Grantham in his Introduction to Woody Irids when it was the topic of the week on the Pacific Bulb Society list in July of 2003.

Gawker.com's Maureen O'Connor put us onto this video from some servicemembers from Afghanistan recreating Lady Gaga's "Telephone" music video. O'Connor calls the effort , which mixes regulation camo and spangled leotards, "magnificent."
See the video above or click here.
Malibumelcher, the YouTube user who posted the video, elaborates:
This is a couple guys located in afghanistan, that re-made the music video by Lady Gaga ....Telephone. Prepare yourself for a fantastical journey. Right now this is the temporary version, we have more scenes to cut, and edit, however with guys always on mission it is harder to film than you think.

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) – A Taleban attacker detonated his car bomb next to an international military convoy on Tuesday, killing three troops from the NATO-led force and wounding nearly 20 troops and civilians, officials said.
Security forces in full battle gear administered CPR to wounded comrades shortly after the 8.10am blast, which rattled nearby neighbourhoods and sent a plume of smoke high into the sky. The attack happened only a couple hundred yards from the US Embassy, on a main Kabul road that leads to the airport.
The statement from the military coalition known as ISAF said five troops were wounded in addition to the three killed. It did not say which nationalities the troops were. The attack happened next to an ISAF base that houses many Americans.
The Taleban claimed responsibility for the attack.
The three military deaths – and a fourth in the country's east – brought the total number of international troops killed in Afghanistan this year to 59, at least 42 of whom were American.
NATO and Afghan security forces inspect the site of a suicide attack in Kabul, Afghanistan, Tuesday, September 16 – AP
The blast turned several vehicles into twisted metal and bloodied and dazed Afghan passers-by. Good Samaritans scooped up the wounded into their arms and carried them to medical workers. Ashmat Stanikzai, a spokesman for the Kabul police, said 13 Afghans were wounded. More than a dozen vehicles were damaged, the police said.
In the aftermath of the blast, Afghan and foreign troops secured the area as fire and rescue vehicles moved in. Investigators inspected an empty black SUV, its windows smashed and exterior pockmarked with shrapnel.
In a separate attack in the country's east, ISAF said Tuesday that one of its troops died after being shot by an individual wearing an Afghan army uniform. That raises the possibility that the service member died from a so-called insider attack carried out by an Afghan soldier, a serious problem over the last couple of years.

What a great Trip!
Sail Date: April 11, 2016
Reviewed: 1 year ago
Traveled As: Couple
Room Type: Inside
We loved our 10 night cruise on NCL. Highlights: Ramona and Salvador at the Atrium Bar-the best bartenders for those of you who require attentive bartending while on vacation. Omar the Assistant Maitre'd, lovely make friends at start of cruise-he'll get you an ocean view in the Grand Pacific-or anything you want or need. Joy-our room attendant-outstanding, cheerful! did not once infer how long or hard she worked (uncommon at times with staff), jumped into our room the minute we vacated and then left it spotless every time. Shore excursion: Norman Island in Tortola snorkel trip-amazing. Crew brought us directly to the most beautiful spot to snorkel in caves and see an abundance of tropical fish and sea life. Try to make it to all the shows they are EXCELLENT. And we are not typically into going to shows. What would I do different? I would not do the specialty restaurants, the restaurants on the ship that are included are more than fancy and good. That being said-I do recommend Moderno. Worth every penny but make sure you come on an EMPTY stomach. I would have sprung for a balcony cabin, 10 days inside cabin is a bit too long. I would have snorkeled in St Thomas and skipped Magen's Beach.

I replied to Yonik Seeley, who pointed out that the output format historically had displayed this behavior. It is related because automatic switching between single/multi-value in the inner workings might also result in a mirrored switching of output formats.

Threshold prep and paint?
Threshold prep and paint?
Hello I need help resurfacing my front door exterior wood threshold.
The wood has a few thin cracks running the length of the threshold and the paint has flaked off. The house is facing south so the threshold takes a beating from the sun several months in the year.
Thanks for any guidance and product recommendations.
Well, I'd scrape the peeling paint off, prime with an exterior alkyd primer and then top coat with an exterior alkyd paint.
"Alkyd" basically means "oil based").
Nestor thanks for the help.
Should I use any kind of wood filler in the cracks?
If this were a window frame, I'd be telling you to use a latex primer and paint, and to fill the cracks with an acrylic caulk (like Dynaflex 230).
The acrylic caulk allows moisture (but not liquid water) to pass through it, and that will aide in keeping the wood dry.
I'm going to tell you to use that same acrylic caulk on the cracks in your wood threshold before painting with the alkyd primer and paint. Neither the alkyd primer nor the paint will allow moisture to evaporate through them, but if it turns out the alkyd primer and paint peel off, it's because there's water getting into that threshold somewhere and making the wood wet.
In that case, an oil based paint simply won't stay on. Ideally, you want to have an oil based paint on that threshold because latex paints aren't hard and strong enough to stand up to people walking on them. However, if it turns out that the oil based paint peels off the threshold, then it's because water is getting into that wood, and a latex paint would stand a better chance of staying stuck to the wood. And, if it comes to that, then you'd want the acrylic caulk in the wood cracks to allow a pathway for the wood around that crack to dry out. That is, the acrylic caulk won't do any harm if the alkyd paint stays on, and it'll be advantageous if the alkyd paint peels off and you revert to a latex paint.
If it turns out that the alkyd paint peels off and you're not happy with the way the latex paint stands up, then it may be the only option would be to just use a deck stain and sealer on your threshold every year. In that case, the acrylic caulk in the wood cracks won't do any harm either.
Nestor thank you very much for taking the time to explain that so I would understand.
I will pick up some Dap Dynaflex 230 and sandpaper today.

Visiting Houston? 5 Places You Need To Visit

Houston, Texas is the second-largest town in Texas, just looking Houston. Houston is an excellent spot to visit, since it supplies a wide range of different sights which are certain to spark the interest of everybody. Are the Dallas Arboretum, Six Flags over Texas, Dealey Plaza, the West End, and the Ballpark at Arlington when visiting Dallas the 5 areas you need to visit.
The Ball-park at Arlington is also a really brilliant new piece, and home to the Texas Rangers. Then take in a game, because you'll remember the pleasure that you'll feel in that ground, If it's baseball period. Then take a tour of the arena, If it's perhaps not football season and benefit from the brilliant architecture and history of the city that awaits you around every corner. If you believe anything, you will certainly claim to study about site.
Six Flags over Texas is an excellent amusement park that's exciting rides, incredible shows, and delicious treats. Visiting like i said maybe provides cautions you should tell your father. The entrance fee is fairly expensive, but once inside it is possible to drive all of the rides and see all of the shows at no cost. We found out about this page is not affiliated by searching Bing.
Dealey Plaza was created as a grand entrance to Dallas, but now is called where President John F. Kennedy was assassinated. Whether you are a history buff or not, you'll definitely enjoy sitting around the Grassy Knoll, or visiting the museum within the School Book Depository.
After visiting Dealey Plaza you should venture out into the remaining portion of the West End. The West End is just a popular spot in Dallas that has over 80 shops and 40 restaurants for your shopping and eating satisfaction, along with a number of other historic monuments and museums. Clicking in english possibly provides lessons you might tell your pastor.
Once you're finished running all around the town, you must make a stop in the Dallas Arboretum. The Dallas Arboretum is a really large garden area situated on the shores of White Rock Lake. This is a great place to sit down, relax, and have a picnic..

Read below what Nollywood star actor Jim Lyke had to say about Charles Novia, Linda Ikeji and Segun Arinze.
The movie star who recently covered the front page of Glam Africa magazine, mentioned his beef with fellow movie actors and Linda in his interview.
"I will deem it completely reprehensible if I say what happened was orchestrated like people suggested. Segun Arinze and Charles Novia, men that I respected a lot, came out to say something completely derogatory of what happened that day"
Charles Novia Comes First.
"I am not really cool with Novia, we have always been at odds with each other, and nobody asked his opinion on what happened to another actor. If you want to be relevant; direct movies and project your creativity, so people will respect you more. Do not involve yourself in people's private issues, I don't talk about your wife, I do not say she is overweight, nor do I talk about the fact that you need therapy. I do not talk about your personal issues though looking at you, I am sure you have enormous personal issues."
He Talk Segun Arinze
"I do not talk about Segun, I know one or two things about him like he knows about me. We are not that close so he has no authority to talk about what happened in my life. He used to be like a big brother, one that I respect, but he lost all that because of the way he went about this issue".
On Bloggers.
"Oh Yes! They are bloggers that cannot feed themselves, and then all of a sudden someone informs them that with a few hits, money would be transferred into your account and it becomes an obsession.. There are some good blogs out there, do not get me wrong. I am not a great fan of BellaNaija, but she is smart, she is articulate, and she knows what she is doing. Even when she attacks me or writes about me, you will know that there is the chance of a researched truth. Linda Ikeji is one of the lamest of them all"

I don't see a "general rss" to this forum...why?
I don't think they implemented it. Ill have to check.
Yes, i see the rss icons in the sections, but not a rss of all the forum...
i can't see it too ... there are no feed for the overall ...
XF is getting harder to navigate these days, round and round in circles I go trying to find global rss feeds.. lol
I am after this also, and seeing that it has made it into the FAQ and soooo many posts about it (merge them all together and thats one big thread) I am hopefull for a 1.1 core feature
I hope also to see rss for the users topic in profile...
hm, i like the idea and i'll include it in my globald feed add-on ( http://ragtek.org/xenforo/threads/global-feed-2-1-0.115/ )
This is a great idea. Example with this every user can share automatically their topics (via Twitterfeed) on Twitter, Facebook, Friendfeed etc.

One of the stranger films we've seen all year, Jalmari Helander's Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale, will both delight and confound you in the best of ways possible! A new trailer and teaser art made their way online today for the flick, which plays like a maniacal cross between The Thing and A Christmas Story, and we have them here for you.
Dig on the goods below and look for release news soon! Watch the below trailer in Hi-Def over at Apple.
"It's the eve of Christmas in northern Finland and an "archeological" dig has just unearthed the real Santa Claus. But this particular Santa isn't the one you want coming to town. When all the local children begin mysteriously disappearing, young Pietari and his father, Rauno, a reindeer hunter by trade, capture the mythological being and attempt to sell Santa to the misguided leader of the multinational corporation sponsoring the dig. Santa's elves, however, will stop at nothing to free their fearless leader from captivity. What ensues is a wildly humorous nightmare – a fantastically bizarre polemic on modern-day morality. RARE EXPORTS: A CHRISTMAS TALE is a re-imagining of the most classic of all childhood fantasies and is a darkly comic gem soon to be required perennial holiday viewing."

Recognition, and sometimes controversy, seem to follow Hope Solo like her shadow.
The goalkeeper for the U.S. women's soccer team has posed nude in ESPN the Magazine's The Body Issue, appeared on television's Dancing with the Stars, and stirred controversy with her blunt criticism of a coach's decision to not play her in the semi-final of the 2007 FIFA Women's World Cup.
Solo was mentioned in news reports after a man was shot and killed Tuesday night in the upscale Vancouver hotel where the U.S. team is staying while competing at the CONCACAF Olympic qualifying tournament.
"Saved by our instant yoga session," Solo tweeted. "Was about to walk to Starbucks when all hell broke loose in the lobby of our hotel. Life is precious …" Solo said the shooting left the team "a bit scared," but added that it wouldn't affect their quest to qualify for this summer's Olympic Games in London.
"We were aware of the situation," the 30-year-old Seattle resident said Wednesday between sips of coffee. "I think it was handled incredibly well by the hotel and the police officers."
With her fresh good looks and outspoken personality, Solo has made the transition from sports star to celebrity. Critics may argue she is feeding her own ego, but Solo believes the publicity raises the profile of women's soccer.
"It helps grow the game," she said. "For the game to grow, it needs to get more mainstream media. I know Dancing with the Stars did just that."
What sometimes is forgotten in the glare of the bright lights is that Solo is an elite goalie who must play an important role if the Americans hope to repeat as Olympic gold medalists.
"Everything she has got success wise she deserves," teammate Becky Sauerbrunn said. "I think she is the best [goalkeeper]in the world. As a teammate, she gets the best out of you and she does it in her own way."
Forward Abby Wambach said Solo has helped raise the soccer team's status in American pop culture. But that doesn't mean Solo will receive any special treatment when it comes to trying to win games.
"We treat her like she is our teammate," Wambach said. "She's a superstar in our eyes only because she is our goaltender. Whatever people choose to do outside the lines of this game we are going to support, especially if it brings as much attention as she did to this game."
Solo said her activities outside soccer won't interfere with her play on the field.
"I don't think anybody has ever questioned my focus because I am such a balls-to-the-wall kind of athlete, a very in-your-face athlete," she said. "I'm very competitive, very driven.
"The great thing is I'm an athlete first and always have been. I get the attention because I am good at what I do. That is always going to be the focus. I have no problem with that."
Solo said she's never been so nervous as when she performed on Dancing with the Stars. Getting naked for ESPN didn't cause the same stress.
"It was honestly nothing," she said. "They make you feel comfortable. I am proud of the woman athlete's figure. It takes work to get that."
Solo is still bothered by her surgically reconstructed right shoulder, something she is learning to deal with.
"My shoulder will always be an issue," she said. "I'm getting through it."
The U.S. women play their first game of the eight-team tournament Friday against the Dominican Republic. Canada plays its first game against Haiti Thursday night. The top two teams advance to the London Games.
Solo knows her high profile will result in closer scrutiny of her performance.
"You either strive under pressure or you sink," she said, shrugging. "Fortunately for me, all my life I have strived under pressure. The more pressure on me, I usually rise to the occasion."

A Corporate Visions survey found that 80 percent of marketing and sales professionals feel their demand generation campaigns are insufficient when it comes to helping them achieve sales success.
The same survey found that 65 percent of sales teams use less than half of the demand generation content their marketing department produces.
If your campaigns don't give buyers a compelling reason to leave the status quo, you may be creating a lot of virtual consumption—meaning they like your content online, but they don't do anything different as a result. And if your sales team isn't using the content your marketing team creates, you probably have as many rogue messages being made up and shared with your customers as you have salespeople.
To rise above the noise in the self-service conversation, your campaigns need to be geared for the "why change" conversation. Your infographics, eBooks, videos and whitepapers need to carry a unique and urgent message into the customer conversation, one that helps your reps get meetings and paves the way for them to create the buying vision.
With Corporate Visions' Demand Generation Content, you can deliver insightful, provocative campaigns that capture buyer interest and defeat their status quo.
