We all know the obvious - Derek Jeter has resigned - a given. What I object to is the the manner in which the whole thing was handled.
In his career with the Yanks, I think most would agree that Jeter has been a class act and a great ambassador for the sport. Once he entered free agency, the first public comments to greet the media were by Hal Steinbrenner indicating the negotiations had the potential to be "cantankerous". I had no problem with Casey Close's response when he said something to the effect of "I find the Yankees opening negotiating moves puzzling". They were puzzling! Why instigate a public media war with your most revered athlete?
I guess this is this age of reality TV, where you can switch the station or check the web to get in on the latest rumor. Does character or privacy count anymore? Does loyalty and service - even excellence count anymore? In my view the answer is no - it's sad and it's not just a sports issue! While I'm using Derek Jeter as an example, he's actually quite low on the totem pole when it comes to the overall picture. I say that not to demean him in or his achievements any manner. He is as great a role model to his sport any renowned professional is to his field.
What I am saying is how this country has deteriorated in so relatively short a period of time. First, let's deal with the Jeter issue. The only people we heard from "officially" before the signing were from the Yankee brass... Hal, Hank and Cashman.
Brian went as far as to say something like, "If he wants more I aint going there". I may be off on the context but not on the word he chose. My point simply being, why did we...the public - have to know all the details??? I always admired Cashman but he went way down in my book over those comments. This whole scenario is like vintage old time "Boss" George, not the "kinder & gentler" Steinbrenner Yankee fans would like to remember.
It's interesting to note that Cashman chose to keep his reasons for firing his pitching coach private. Isn't Derek Jeter worth the same privacy as well? A free agent has the right to ask for whatever he wants; I don't fault Jeter in that. The Yanks have every right to say you're not worth what you want and we are being gracious in what we are offering you. Why the need for public relations on the Yankees part? Jeter and his agent handled themselves admirably. Hardly a peep from their mouths other than the rumors (which may be true but they never "officially" commented on - bravo!).
You could even go so far as to say that Derek Jeter has handled himself as a "True Yankee" in the finest sense of Yankee tradition. I just think negotiations, especially in the case of someone who has meant so much to the club, should be kept behind closed doors. If the Yanks really didn't want him back, fine, but don't rip him a new orifice in public when he hasn't "officially" said a word!.. The Yanks knew they had all the power, so why the need to let everyone in on it?
My point really extends beyond sports...wasn't George Harrison of The Beatles prophetic in his song "I, Me Mine"? Hasn't this country deteriorated from it's promise of pride, recognition, potential job security based on performance and it's dedication to long term business planning into one of pure greed, instant gratification, instant profit, and what have you done for me lately? - regardless of how you did it - without considering the long or even short term repercussions?

Dolphins Can Switch Off Insulin Resistance and DiabetesPosted: Sunday, March 07, 2010
A study in dolphins has revealed genetic clues that could help medical researchers to treat Type 2 diabetes.
Scientists from the US National Marine Mammal Foundation said that bottlenose dolphins are resistant to insulin -- just like people with diabetes. But in dolphins, they say, this resistance is switched on and off.
The researchers presented the findings at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) in San Diego. They hope to collaborate with diabetes researchers to see if they can find and possibly even control an equivalent human "off switch."
The team, based in San Diego, took blood samples from trained dolphins that "snack" continuously during the day and fast overnight. "The overnight changes in their blood chemistry match the changes in diabetic humans," explained Stephanie Venn-Watson, director of veterinary medicine at the foundation.
This means that insulin -- the hormone that reduces the level of glucose in the blood -- has no effect on the dolphins when they fast.
In the morning, when they have their breakfast, they simply switch back into a non-fasting state, said Dr. Venn-Watson. In diabetic people, chronic insulin resistance means having to carefully control blood glucose, usually with a diet low in sugar, to avoid a variety of medical complications. But in dolphins, the resistance appears to be advantageous. Dr. Venn-Watson explained that the mammals may have evolved this fasting-feeding switch to cope with a high-protein, low-carbohydrate diet of fish.
"Bottlenose dolphins have large brains that need sugar," Dr. Venn-Watson explained. Since their diet is very low in sugar, "it works to their advantage to have a condition that keeps blood sugar in the body … to keep the brain well fed."
But other marine mammals, such as seals, do not have this switch, and Dr. Venn-Watson thinks that the "big brain factor" could be what connects human and dolphin blood chemistry.
Lori Schwacke, a scientist from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in Charleston, SC, stated that, "There are several interesting diseases that you only see in humans and dolphins ... We're really looking at two species that have big brains with high demands for blood glucose," she said. "And we have found changes in dolphins that suggest that [this insulin resistance] could get pushed into a disease state.... If we started feeding dolphins Twinkies, they would have diabetes."
Since both the human genome and the dolphin genome have been sequenced, Dr. Venn-Watson hopes to work with medical researchers to turn the discovery in dolphins into an eventual treatment for humans.
"There is no desire to make a dolphin a lab animal," she said. "But the genome has been mapped -- so we can compare those genes with human genes."
Scientists at the Salk Institute in San Diego have already discovered a "fasting gene" that is abnormally turned on in people with diabetes, "so maybe this is a smoking gun for a key point to control human diabetes", Dr Venn-Watson said.
If scientists can find out what switches the fasting gene on and off in dolphins, they may be able to do the same thing in people.
"There are several interesting diseases that you only see in humans and dolphins," she said. In this case, Dr. Venn-Watson said, "the fundamental difference is that dolphins can switch it off and humans can't."

Lancaster admits try-scoring concern
ESPN Staff
March 12, 2013
Toby Flood backed himself to score the try against Italy but was eventually held up © Getty Images
England coach Stuart Lancaster has conceded that he is concerned by his team's inability to turn territory and possession into tries.
England have scored just once since their four-try victory over Scotland in round one and despite many tipping Lancaster's men to roll over Italy at the weekend, they had to rely on the boot of Toby Flood to guide them to their 18-11 triumph.
Chris Ashton has come in for some criticism after his return of just two tries in 16 Tests, but Lancaster was quick to emphasise that the flyer is not being given any special treatment despite calls from some corners for the England winger to be dropped ahead of their Grand Slam showdown with Wales on Saturday.
"I don't think Chris has been given any special favours," Lancaster told reporters on Monday. "I don't buy the fact that he is badly out of form. No player had an error-free game on Sunday. Chris did what Chris does well and got into a position where a tip-on pass from Mike Brown would have seen him in under the posts.
"Most wingers would not get themselves in positions to do those things. He didn't quite get across the line but sometimes it is not his fault."
But while he has lent his backing to Ashton, Lancaster admits their attack needs re-focussing. Lancaster added: "We certainly did dip in effectiveness at the weekend but we did create opportunities. Finishing is the issue."
England are currently sweating on the fitness of Geoff Parling, Joe Launchbury and Courtney Lawes ahead of their trip to Cardiff while Owen Farrell is set to wrestle the fly-half berth back from Toby Flood. Ben Youngs may well start at scrum-half in place of Danny Care and the Leicester man insists that England have come on leaps and bounds since their final day loss to Ireland in 2011.
Martin Johnson's side were gunning for the clean sweep when they travelled to Dublin but they fell 24-8 and Youngs is adamant that England are in a better position now than they were two years ago. "There was more experience in the side two years ago, but the group we have now is more of a collective - we're all in it together," Youngs said. "There's a huge culture and ethos within the team that often steers you through. It's completely different to two years ago.
"I'd definitely rather be in the position we are now than two years ago. We're in a stronger position now. There are a lot of guys who haven't experienced this type of match yet, which is probably a good thing.
"They're at a good age when youth takes over, so you don't worry about it too much. Those of us who played against Ireland learnt a huge amount. Firstly, you need to make sure you don't get ahead of yourselves.
"You must also peak at the right time and don't let the occasion get to you. It's just about going out and winning, not playing with a particular style or scoring loads of tries. If you're presented with any opportunities you must take them because it will be fine margins and that's one of the key lessons we learnt from 2011."

The M.V. Frances Barkley nudges the pier on the west side of Bamfield. Its famous boardwalk twists along the inlet, cottages perch alongside, docks sprout into the waterway. The red and white buildings of the Coast Guard station alongside the dock gleam, and through my binoculars I can see the proprietor of the tiny boardwalk store hanging out a sign: closed for freight receiving.
Our binoculars have never been far from our eyes during this three-hour voyage up Alberni Inlet from Port Alberni to Barkley Sound. We've spotted eagles, inched by rainbows, chugged in and out of mists, rainstorms and occasional splatters of sun, and passed a wilderness that goes on and on. The passenger freighter's crew of five is casual and friendly, and the captain, John Adams, who retired as captain from B.C. Ferries but just couldn't stay home, has pointed out interesting spots along the way – like Kildonan, for example. In 1914, it was a thriving cannery and 500 people lived there. Now it's home to only a few summer cottagers and fewer still full timers, who gather at the dock. In the season, the Frances Barkley also stops at the old Sechart whaling station just outside the Pacific Rim National Park Reserve; it's now a lodge catering to kayakers. The Norwegian built ship can carry 200 passengers and 100 tons of cargo, and it makes stops wherever it's needed: fish farms, small settlements, and even float homes.
We're met by Don Kapalka from the Imperial Eagle Lodge in his cherry red Ranger. There's only room in the ATV for two plus luggage, so I get to ride along the steep and rocky track while the others head to the lodge along the boardwalk. Don fills me in en route. Read More→

- AnonymousApril 4, 2012 at 9:36 AM
So, wouldn't the best way to create turnover in money be to increase taxes on the wealthy, or better yet, implement a wealth tax? Over the past 30 years, so much money has trickled (or recently flowed) up to the wealthy, that there is little more that they can do but accumulate it....certainly when so much money is flowing into things like gold, it is not being spent on capital, etc. While conservatives point out that a 5% increase on the top 5% income earners would not make much of a dent in the federal debt, what the fail to realize is the ripple effect that would be created as the government spent that 5% on infrastructure projects, etc. Not only would the money be turned over numerous times, but at each turnover it would be taxed bringing in more revenue (which itself would not lower the deficit, but it would blunt its continued rise and create jobs).ReplyDelete

Long bonds in the 60's were lower then today,something to think about? Will the Gov. do a number on gold? Will they get a handle on Gov. spending? Will they change the tax code to get Corp's to spend money?ReplyDelete
Hi, You are right to be concerned. If velocity falls without an increase in money supply by definition prices must fall. Since the Fed has increased the money supply prices have been stable to slightly rising except for commodities whose prices are rising faster and are determined on world markets and whose supply is highly fungible.ReplyDelete

When people sell homes at a loss or take bankruptcy, the "money" disappears, right? Of course, inflation is making the remaining assets worth less. Bad news all the way around, it seems. I'm betting on carnage, when the day comes that working people figure it out.ReplyDelete
When people sell an asset at a loss "money" disappears? No. Wealth declines for the individual and if there is a mortgage and the house is worth less than the mortgage the homeowner is still on the hook for the difference in most states that is why people just walk away or allow foreclosure to take place. The bank still owns an inocme producing asset that is just worth less. No money was destroyed just wealth.ReplyDelete
The net worth of households is about 4 times the M2 measure of money supply. If net worth increases or decreases money supply is not affected.

On Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays between 7am and 2:30pm, you will find a lively street market in the center of Place Maubert. This market is the oldest in Paris, originating in the 16th century.

Gelato may be an Italian specialty, but Amorino is a French chain that just does it right. Its gelato is the sort that tastes just like the labeled flavors, be it chocolate, hazelnut or mango, only amplified. Instead of scoops, staff layer gelato in the shape of petals, sculpting your cone into a flower. This system makes it easy to sample without... More

Bryant eclipses 30,000
|Los Angeles Lakers shooting guard Kobe Bryant (24) dribbles downcourt in the first half of an NBA basketball game against the New Orleans Hornets in New Orleans, Wednesday, Dec. 5, 2012. (AP Photo/Gerald Herbert)
NEW ORLEANS — Kobe Bryant grinned and uttered the word "irony" as he considered the fact that the team that drafted him nearly 17 years ago was his opponent on the night he eclipsed a scoring milestone to join an exclusive club of NBA greats.
It's easy to forget that it was the Hornets who drafted and then traded Bryant away back in 1996.

Yeah! gonna try it right now!
Awesome!! Im gonna play it now!
Very fun. I love this style of game.
I hate the camera! It's very hard to use correctly IMO.
I can't really enjoy the game as it should be because of the camera, it's the major killer here.
Personally, I'd prefer a lock-strafe with the camera directly behind your character. (At the very least make it lock-strafe, because you can fire forward while facing side ways or backward which is annoying when looking at someone turned around and they start shooting you.)
Beautiful execution but I agree that camera could be improved.
Do you plan objective modes in future other than a team deathmatch? The idea of getting into a competitive game with team-play from anywhere at any time is very captivating but right now, this gets old in minutes.
Also, I guess it was a little more alluring when the first screenshots indicated that this would be first-person.
Camera wasn't too bad, I got used to it rather quickly.
But the game needs more guns and more maps. Currently it's only fun for a few minutes
Game is very pretty, and the controls were fine. Other than the camera annoyances (that I got over quickly) this was a relatively bug free and very smooth game.
just wonder how to sync movment and bullets in fps game using photon...!! how do deal with lag?do you implement moving prediction?
Pretty cool! The only thing I have to say is that the locomotion system makes the guy move a bit weird.
I agree, the camera shakes ALOT aswell and it laggs alot :S And my machine isnt half bad either.Originally Posted by DiscordPretty cool! The only thing I have to say is that the locomotion system makes the guy move a bit weird.
I thought it was a great game
I actually liked the camera system, though admit it could be a bit smoother. The graphics are great, same with the gameplay, and overall it's really fun!
Nice work here. The only problem I found was that you couldn't peak around corners to your left because of camera placement. This was really annoying when I was the only one on the team and they were flanking me.

I've been seeing feedback like this quite a bit. I think I just got used to the 3rd person view. Investigating...Originally Posted by hybrentI hate the camera! It's very hard to use correctly IMO.
Step 1 is to make a stable base on which to build upon. I think it's getting pretty close (other than the camera issue).Originally Posted by inhumanDo you plan objective modes in future other than a team deathmatch?
The immediate plans are to expand on the team deathmatch, but there is something else more ambitious in mind.
Maybe the arena hadn't finished downloading yet. You get a loading spinner while the arena is still downloading. The 'Join' buttons appear after the progress bar finishes loading.Originally Posted by lancerfourNot connecting

The only issue I have is no auto reload, as well as the recoil is never set back at all. It should slowly go back to where it was, as well have a limit to how much it can recoil.
Besides that, it's quite fun... though, XD I didn't die very often :P
It'd be kind of spiffy if you made a full out login system that kept your stats though.

Current Project: Temporarily None.
Wow, an amazing game you got there. Won't comment on the good things, they're too many. :P
Had no problems with the camera, but one thing that felt wrong to me was the recoil. I think it's a bit too much. Btw, any chance to add a crouch or even prone stance? Not sure about prone, with all this vegetation it would be evil, but crouching wouldn't be bad.
Anyway, keep up the great work!
Fantastic work. Currently learning Photon slowly, and seeing this just makes me want to learn more, If you have anything helpful to say about Photon perceptually lobbies, i would be very grateful.
I like the game a lot, I played a few rounds and it is very fun to play, and the grafics are nice too!
the only problem I have is that I have an azerty keyboard and that I have to switch to qwerty with my keyboard and I can't chat in qwerty mode.
other then that it is a very good and pro game!
nicely done! I enjoyed playing it, must have played around 10 rounds
I feel like playing it again!

Looks like my peerblock was stopping the connection, my bad. Great game though, amazing work. I love the style of gameplay you're going for.
- Camera. It works most of the time, but I end up running in circles when I get too close to another person trying to melee them. It gets disorienting pretty quick.
- Zoom in as a toggle is a little anti-intuitive to me. Maybe a option to hold RMB instead?
- Recoil, I actually love that it's difficult and really makes you aim. But a crouch would be nice (or maybe less recoil while you zoom in?).
- It crashes whenever I exit fullscreen mode. Could be unity though, happens with my game sometimes too.
Just some ideas. Btw, what are you using for networking?
I agree that an option to change the functionality of it wouldn't be a bad idea, as long as the user is given the choice.Originally Posted by lancerfour- Zoom in as a toggle is a little anti-intuitive to me. Maybe a option to hold RMB instead?

The bottom of my Sunday column mentions looming changes in way way commenters can post remarks at the bottom of The Star's online articles. To wit:
The days of anonymous commenting at AnnistonStar.com are rapidly coming to a close. We are currently testing commenting software that would require website commenters to post their first and last names alongside their comments.
This is part of a move to eliminate some of the worst behavior in story comments. In recent months, our editors have had their hands full cleaning up comments that fail to comply with our rules. In short, those rules are no personal attacks, no name-calling and comments must stay on topic.
The subject of online commenting and anonymity has roiled the digital space in recent years. Many publications, particularly newspapers, have pulled back from the free-for-all that was online commenting when the web first became popular. Over time, The Star's newsroom and others across the country have come to see the commenting section of a website needs more accountability and safeguarding lest it turn into a ghetto of bitterness, personal attacks and angry and offensive language.
The plan is to continue to apply our current rules with a few more added, namely better identification of the person posting the comments. Think of it as the "letter to the editor rule." Printed submissions to Speak Out must follow our guidelines for style as well as include first and last name, plus hometown. The letters we print are often sharp in their rhetoric, yet they carry the credibility that the writer was willing to attach his or her name and hometown to the opinions expressed. Very soon we intend to apply the same standard to online comments. Expect more details in coming weeks.

"Love the simple design and color. I was able to add a personal touch w/ a sonogram picture of the baby on the backside. The invitees thought the invitations were cute as well. Had to reorder more and second order was discounted. Love tiny prints!"
"These cards are cuter in person. We are having a baby shower for my daughter who is a teacher and loves to read, so we wanted to do a book theme. These invitations are adorable and also can make a nice bookmark later. I paid the extra to ship them faster as I needed them in the mail. When I called to check on my delivery I was told that they were shipped out later than expected and my shipping fee was being refunded (I didn't even ask). I received them the next day and they were mailed that night. I have heard from people that have received them that they are so cute !! I used the purple and pink ink to highlight and the black for the information part. I love the small letters on everything! My only regret was not ordering a few extras for the mama-to-be and me !!"
"The personalized stickers arrived within the time promised and were exactly the way I ordered them. I put them on cupcake boxes and they fit perfectly!"
"Just received these invitations for my daughter-in-law's baby shower. They are absolutely perfect. I found lots of invitations that had tea cups, tea pots, etc. but this was one of the few invitations I found that was specifically for a baby shower tea party theme. Love the bottle and pacifier with the cups. I also had read a previous review where someone had changed the background color from pink to blue. Since we are expecting a boy, I requested the light blue background. I could not have been more pleased! This is such an elegant, classic design."
"I ordered from Tiny Prints twice. My orders came earlier than expected. The quality of the paper was amazing. There are so many unique designs to choose from and the prices are very reasonable. I will definitely use Tiny Prints for future events and I will definitely recommend this site to others. I'm extremely satisfied!"

Richmond >Food & Dining > Nacho Mama's
3449 W Cary St, Richmond, VA | Directions 2322137.554806 -77.486087
Lunch, Dinner & Sunday Brunch
Neighborhoods: Carytown - Museum District - Scotts Addition, Carytown
Love Nacho Mama's – I went to Nacho Mamas with some friends for dinner.
What a real treat!
Food is a nice fresh spin of Southwest. I had real pulled chicken in my quesadilla and my friends had a Cuban wrap with sweet potato tots and my boyfriend had Fish tacos which are soooo good and light. All of it was yummy!!
Not that mush they serve you at the other Mexican flops. This is what you want if you miss Texas and you want to speak English to your waiter & know they will understand you.
chili relleno rocks – yummy food! always good. Service is friendly but sometimes they seemed a little rushed. although it might have something to do with the stairs.
Best Mexican in Richmond – Nacho Mama's has been a great Carytown Mexican Restaurant for many years. The food is consistently good and the Margaritas are one awesome!!! I enjoy going there for lunch or dinner the prices are great for all the wonderful delicious food you get. The Camarones Diablo are my favorite appitizer and the Carne Asada Burrito is my favorite entree. The one thing I like the most is how the freindly staff always remember me and make me feel like family. I like the fun casual atmoshphere even when I am having a bad day I leave Nacho Mama's with a smile on my face. I recommend this place to anyone who hasn't been to Nacho Mama's and those of you that have been here know what I am talking about.
Very Poor Service and Charges of 5 Star restaurant – I was very uphappy when Manager told us the Margarita was $6 but when we show the bill was almost double. Also I don't appreciate 20% Tip added to the bill for the lousy service.
Worst Expeiance ever, Overcharged their customers. – Our waiter was slow, service was bad, food was cold, drinks were overcharged, Margarita was over $12+, the 20% tip was added in the bill for two people. I would not reccomend this one to any one. there are many good restaurants in the area. The manager is irrisponsible, floor was dirty and Filthy.
love this place – eat here everytime come to richmond bout to move there and will be close !!! yah!!!!!!! everyone nice place is great
Nacho best – A group of friends and I went to Nacho Mama's during the Watermelon Festival this past weekend 2008. We of course understood how busy it would be and it only took about 20 minutes to sit. When we first arrived I ordered 2 watermelon margaritas and the manager gave me 2 lime ones. After taking a big gulp and realizing it was lime, I took them back over to her and her response was, "the watermelon wasn't ready." I was amazed at how arrogant she was. I asked if we could get the watermelon when it was ready and she quickly snuffed me by taking someone else's order. When we sat we asked our waiter for the watermelon flavor and explained that we didn't want the lime and we shouldn't be charged...we ordered soon after we sat. Had to ask for our chips to be re-filled (which never were) cancelled the queso that never came and received our meals about 45 minutes after we ordered. We were so starving we scarfed the food but my chicken burrito was very dry and I needed 2 salsas to wash it down. Got the bill and decided we didn't want to wait to fight about the damn margaritas we said we would not pay for. The waiter even made a comment that his manager sucked and he hated working for her.
Best place in Richmond for Mexican – Nacho Mama's was recommended by a friend which I was visiting here in Richmond. I had the best Margaritas and the best Chimi De Carnitas dinner. The place was full of great energy and lots of people. We waited to sit on the Patio and ended up staying there till closing. This place is great for Mexican food, Margaritas, Friendly Staff, and their patio rocked. This is the kind of place that I will come back to when I come back to Richmond and the prices are very reasonable.
VERY POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE – BELL CREEK LOCATION - The food is fine but we had a bad experience with the manger on duty. I spoke with the owner and he agreed to look into the situation and provide some free food coupons. After waiting at least a week, I never heard from him . I wrote a letter explaining that he had never responded and that we would never attend his establishment again. I still have not heard from him. I don't feel that he handled this situation professionally. I will not go there again.
Worst service and management in Carytown – Ridiculously slow service, unfriendly wait staff, rude and arrogant management. This seems to be the norm for Nacho Mammas. I have been there twice now, and both occasions were marked by poor service. Once I can understand, maybe it was a bad day. But twice is a trend I cannot ignore. Clearly an indication of poor management. The second time was a most miserable experience. I cannot even comment on the food quality because after waiting for over an hour for a sandwich, we left!! Most managers would have been apologetic and and gone out of their way to accomodate us, this arrogant, young fool made a scene by loudly demanding that we pay for food that we did not receive, and threatening to call the police. We said GO AHEAD, get them here NOW. After that he backed off but rudely demanded that we never return. As if I would ever go back there again! If you patronize this place you will be disappointed. The only bright spot in all of this is that with this kind of customer treatment they will be bankrupt in a short time, and a friendlier business, with better management, better trained staff serving better quality food, will take over.

Hip replacement is recognized as one of the most successful procedures in all of medicine. In the United States, over 193,000 people have their hips replaced each year, and over ninety percent of these are considered successful.
Total Hip ReplacementTotal hip replacement is a surgical procedure where the worn out surfaces of the hip are replaced with man-made components. Over time, the cartilage that cushions the bones can wear away, cause pain and discomfort, and make simple pleasures like walking and shopping unbearable. Hip replacement can reduce or eliminate pain, allow easier movement and get you back to life.
What kind of hip implant is the best?There are many kinds and designs of hip implants available today, and no one design or type is best for every patient or their particular situation. Each surgeon selects the implant that they believe is best for their patient's needs based on a number of factors including age, activity level, the implant's track record, and his or her comfort with the instruments associated with the particular implant. If you have specific questions regarding implants, your surgeon will be happy to answer them for you.
Who is a candidate for a total hip replacement?Hip replacement surgery may be considered for those suffering from arthritic hip pain that severely limits the activities of daily living. It is only recommended after careful examination and diagnosis of your particular joint problem, and only after more conservative measures such as exercise, physical therapy and medications have proven ineffective.
How long will I be in the hospital?With improvements in surgical techniques and post-op care, it is now common for many patients to be able to go home from the hospital after one or two days. Of course, each patient is different, but the goal should be for you to recover in the comfort and privacy of your own home as soon as possible.
How long is the recovery time?Remember, this can vary from person to person, but most people will need to use an ambulation aid such as a walker for 4 weeks or so. Driving may be possible in 4 to weeks, and activities such as golf and bowling can be resumed in as few as 10 to 12 weeks. Some activities such as running or jogging are not recommended after hip replacement. Most people will be able to go straight home from the hospital, though some patients, particularly those that live alone, may need to spend a few days at a rehab center or nursing home. Keep in mind that healing and recovery times can vary.
What are your risks?Even though hip replacement surgery is considered a very successful procedure, it is major surgery, and as with any surgery, there are risks you need to be aware of. Possible complications include:
Your surgeon and healthcare team will be taking great care to minimize the risk of these and other complications. Keep in mind that complications are relatively rare, but they need to be understood by you and your family. Your surgeon will be happy to answer any questions that you may have.
How much does a total hip replacement hurt?You will experience some discomfort after surgery, but be assured we will be doing everything we can to keep you as comfortable as possible. Pain after hip replacement surgery is quite variable from person to person, and not entirely predictable, but modern medications and improved anesthetic techniques greatly enhance our ability to control pain and discomfort after surgery.
HIP RESURFACINGHip resurfacing is a procedure similar to hip replacement in that the worn and painful surfaces of the hip are resurfaced with manmade components. The main difference is that with hip resurfacing, far less bone is removed than with a hip replacement. Rather than having the entire femoral head, or "ball" of the hip removed as with hip replacement, hip resurfacing involves reshaping the femoral head to receive a metal "cap." The socket side of the hip or acetabulum is relined very similarly to a hip replacement. Hip resurfacing is most commonly recommended for younger patients with severe arthritis of the hip who may be faced with multiple surgeries over their lifetime.
What are the advantages of hip resurfacing?There are a number of potential advantages to hip resurfacing. These include:
The best candidates for hip resurfacing are typically younger patients (under 60 years of age) with isolated bone disease and who have strong bone around the hip joint. Those who are less likely to be candidates for the procedure include patients older than 60, as well as those with problems in the bone around the hip joint. This includes patients who have bone loss as a result of their arthritis, patients with osteoporosis and patients with cysts within the bone.

Kentucky Warbler Project
The Kentucky Warbler Project at the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute in Front Royal, Virginia, was begun by Eugene S. Morton in 1979, and transferred to M. Victoria McDonald in 1988.
Kentucky warblers are studied intensively every breeding season, beginning with their first arrival from their wintering grounds in early May until they depart in mid-September.The major objectives of this long-term behavioral ecology and conservation of a Neotropical migratory bird project fall under 3 general categories.
monitoring reproductive success and annual return rates
Basic Behavioral Research
related to singing, mate choice, and paternity analysis
Conservation Research
based on interpreting the numbers, trends, and changing distribution of Kentucky warblers in relation to the rapidly changing (and decreasing) forest tracts in the Front Royal, Virginia area.
With an emphasis on careful investigation of reproductive success, this effort is accomplished by keeping daily records on all territorial activities of approximately 40 pairs of Kentucky warblers throughout the breeding season, including finding and following all nesting attempts.
Territories maps and correlations with habitat type are determined annually, and these data are stored and analyzed in an on-site GIS (Geographical Information System).
The role of song and mate choice also continues to be investigated.
- extensive behavioral data are collected
- all birds are tape-recorded annually
- blood samples are taken for DNA paternity analysis.
In a related project, morphological measurements and plumage color data for Kentucky Warblers in all of the major North American museum collections have been collected.

Ari actually figured [my work] out on his own. When the Kosovar refugee crisis happened, he was watching TV with us and they had pictures of the refugees coming down that famous road, and all the kids were without shoes and the refugees were crying and Ari said, 'You know, Mommy, those are sad people. Why are they sad?' At that time I guess he was just three or going to be three. So I told him that there were people who were chasing them. And he said, 'Oh, bad people.'
For lack of a better word, fine, in a two-year-old's mind, they are - they may not be bad people but they're doing bad things, but at that point you just accept it. So he decided that the bad people were chasing the sad people and he knew that I do some of this work - how he remembered that, I don't know because the first time I left he was seven months old and then there were other things I had done in the past. So he turned to me... and he said, 'You know, Mommy, you have to go, you have to help these sad people.'
So Ari tells everybody that what Mommy does is she helps the sad people and that she tries to make them happy. And he contributes in his own way. He knows when I'm going on a trip because I start collecting medications that I'm going to bring and I start packing, certain things come out that he hasn't seen in a while and then he starts adding to the pile. So he goes to his toy box and he pulls out his little McDonalds toys. Because he knows I can't take anything big, so he always gives me the small toys and he puts them in a big pile and he says, 'Here, Mommy, give these to the sad people.'

Maybe it's because I grew up and lived most of my life in the Midwest, but the conversation around the increase in the meals and lodging tax and the "sunsetting" of this law in two years is maddening.
Mathieu Roy of Montreal works on a sand castle during a family vacation in Old Orchard Beach in 2012. A reader questions the two-year expiration date on a recent increase in Maine's meals and lodging tax, saying that the total of such levies has never been a factor in her family's vacation planning.
2012 File Photo/Tim Greenway
While there are beautiful places throughout New England, comparing Maine to the rest of New England and worrying about Maine being "the end of the trail" that people won't travel to because of a modest meals and lodging tax increase, as Dick Grotton of the Maine Restaurant Association stated, is ludicrous ("State budget: 5 things you need to know," June 30).
While I've heard the adage "you can't eat the views," the views in Maine, particularly along the coast, do feed the soul. The only words I could find when I first glimpsed Penobscot Bay were "Oh, my God."
We are a strictly middle-class family, yet we've never compared meals and lodging taxes in making decisions about vacation destinations. Since even a very modest, short vacation can cost hundreds of dollars, does the extra 50 cents on a $50 meal really matter? If a family can afford a vacation or a meal out, the additional cost is inconsequential.
Why wouldn't we want tourists to chip in a few bucks more to help pay for the infrastructure that makes their vacation to the gem of Maine possible?
The state has pressing needs in an ever-more-competitive world. This increase is necessary and smart, and the law should not "sunset."

Transgender kids' parents force their agenda on others
If a child thinks he is an adult and identifies as one, what should we do? Should we give him all the rights of an adult, and accept him as one?
Such behavior would be patently absurd. No less so if the child identifies as the opposite sex. Nevertheless, some young transsexuals have been in the news lately, with their families trying to get them accepted as the opposite sex.
These parents, although I am sure acting in good faith, are psychologically abusing their child. I can hear the teeth-gnashing and cries of bigotry already.
Hold on for a moment. Transsexualism is part of gender identity disorder. However, instead of getting their child the help that he needs, these parents are encouraging him to continue.
Obviously, people have become more concerned with advancing the politically correct agenda than getting their young, confused child help. Meanwhile, the rest of us have to deal with the results of this agenda, with the invasion of politics into (until now) separate-sex bathrooms. When will it stop?
I am sorry for Nicole Maines and Coy Mathis if they feel exiled for having to use the staff bathroom at school. But I feel more sorry for all the females who will be forced to share a restroom with a biological male. Their feelings don't matter if they are against the progressive agenda.
With this said, I fully expect to be labeled backward and a bigot. I do not care, but I will leave the teeth-gnashers with one thought: I would give you more credibility if your peaceful tolerance extended to those who don't agree with you, like me.
Elsa Tiemann, 17
State senator not the saint depicted in Nemitz column
The Bill Nemitz column June 30 ("Sen. Katz bravely reprises 'class acts' ") revealed a slobbering love affair with liberal politicians, namely Sen. Roger Katz and Katz's memories of other liberal Republican politicians. Katz proves the Democrats do not have a lock on liberalism; hence, we have the evolution of the RINO -- Republicans in Name Only.

Thanks Rosemary! That is really encouraging! Maybe I will just have to wait for him to grow out of his wakefuless. My first son was also a persistant night waker (it almost killed me) which is why it took me 8yrs to have another Like I said he is basically night weaned and doesn't cry anymore if I don't nurse him, but he won't go back to sleep or if he does he wakes right back up. It doesn't seem to make a difference whether we are nursing at night or not he still wakes up all night long. I'm with you on the higher power and have asked for some insight. During the day my LO is happy as a lark and dang cute, That's what keeps me from putting him out on the porch in the middle of the night (just kidding)

The application comes in the form of a daemon for monitoring and reporting as well as an easy-to-use Web-based GUI for controlling monitoring, viewing timelines of incidents, filing incidents and graphing statistics. The application is extensible with any sort of monitoring module and notification is based on a five step escalation process.
Nagios is a host, service, and network monitoring system that will watch your network and alert you to problems before your clients or end-users do. The system runs checks on hosts and services that you specify using plugins that return status information to Nagios. When problems are encountered, the system will send notifications to system administrators so that they can take action on the problem. The JumpBox for Nagios gives you a head start to using the system. It eliminates the complexity involved in getting the application installed, and allows you to focus on the configuration for your specific environment. Since Nagios is based on plugins, depending on what you want to do this will vary in complexity.

Dooley inherited broken program, but never got Vols over hump
Story Highlights
Tennessee fired Derek Dooley after he went 15-21 overall and 4-19 in SEC play
Dooley's tenure was defined by agonizing results, the failure to contend in SEC
The Volunteers need to go after a proven head coach when they make a new hire
Derek Dooley said this spring that several "anchors" had held down his Tennessee program. From coaching changes to player attrition, Dooley's Vols were constantly fighting an uphill battle to regain their place atop the SEC.
What Tennessee fans likely realized, particularly after Saturday's 41-18 blowout loss to in-state rival Vanderbilt, is that Dooley himself was an anchor -- a coach whose inability to push Tennessee over the hump ultimately defined his entire tenure in Knoxville.
Dooley, who was fired Sunday after three years at Tennessee, inherited a program in a state of disarray when he accepted the head coaching job in January 2010. Dooley replaced Lane Kiffin, who only one year earlier had replaced longtime coach Phillip Fulmer, making Dooley the Vols' third coach in as many seasons. Preaching a character-driven approach, Dooley attempted to resurrect a program that was accustomed to prominence but -- for one reason or another -- had stumbled into mediocrity.
ANDERSON: Tracking all of this year's firings
One could argue Dooley returned internal stability to the Tennessee program, but the on-field product never followed suit. Dooley came agonizingly close, but ultimately failed to get his team over the hump.
There was the near-upset of No. 12 LSU in Baton Rouge in 2010, when the clock hit zero to signify a victory by unranked Tennessee before the Vols were flagged for having 13 players on the field. The penalty gave the Tigers the one extra play they needed to punch in a game-winning touchdown.
There was the 2010 Music City Bowl, when North Carolina was flagged for the same penalty on the final play of the game. The Tar Heels got another play and kicked a field goal to send the game into overtime, where the Vols ultimately lost.
There was the 2011 season finale against Kentucky, where Dooley's Vols suffered the program's first defeat to the Wildcats in 26 years. Because of injuries, Kentucky had played a wide receiver at quarterback.
Then there was the loss to No. 18 Florida this September, where the then No. 23 Vols, ranked for the first time in four seasons, deflated with ESPN's College GameDay visiting and allowed 24 unanswered points in a loss to the Gators.
So many opportunities, so many disappointments.
It's true that Dooley inherited a mess. The Vols were a combined 12-13 in the two years before he arrived in Knoxville. But the coach's ensuing tenure produced uncomfortably similar results. Dooley posted a 15-21 overall record while finishing only 4-19 in SEC play. Perhaps most jarring, the once-proud Vols never defeated a ranked opponent (0-15) with Dooley at the helm.
The question now is where the Vols go from here. Dooley was hired by ex-Tennessee AD Mike Hamilton and was reportedly the Vols' fifth or sixth option in their coaching search after Kiffin's departure. Tennessee's current AD, Dave Hart, said at a press conference Sunday that previous head coaching experience is "critically important" in the program's next hire. That may mean a big-name assistant such as Alabama's Kirby Smart is not on Hart's short list. Current ESPN analyst and former NFL coach Jon Gruden has been linked in the rumor mill to this and other openings.
Tennessee can't afford to hire an unproven coach again. The Volunteer program has been in a state of transition since Fulmer's exit in 2008. Tennessee took a chance when it hired Dooley away from Louisiana Tech, where the coach produced a 17-20 record in three seasons. It's unlikely Hart would gamble on a similar type of coaching project.
Ultimately, Tennessee's next coach will be tasked with lifting the team back into prominence while putting his mark on the program. Dooley had many opportunities, but was never able to accomplish that in Knoxville.

662 N Sepulveda Blvd, Los Angeles, CA | Directions 9004934.077287 -118.469002
Monday To Friday From 06:30 AM To 06:00 PM
Neighborhoods: West LA, Bel Air
Terrible food, strange crowd of geriatrics and young workers – Obviously a lot of fake reviews on citysearch now. The food here was disgusting to say the least. It was more like a cheap buffet food in las vegas. None of the three in our group was happy with the appetizers or entrees. The owner and the managers promised to take out some items fromthe the bill and did not and admitted to their lie at the end.
Comfortable and tasty – Ate there over the weekend with wife and fellow couple. I ordered the bouillabaisse which was excellent and my wife had the whitefish which was also excellent. Our friends had a few requests and the waitress was very accomodating, a nice place.
Great Food, Great Place – Last night I met my husband at this cozy restaurant that I had never been to before and was blown away with. It looks very inconspicuous on the outside, but don't let that fool you, you walk into a romantic patio strung with lights and then into a gleaming restaurant where it seems everyone knows everyone. The staff seemed to know and care so much about many of the patrons that I wanted to be 'a regular.' The food was absolutely divine and the wine list wasn't too shabby either! I ordered the tuna tar tar and the garlic chicken breast! So good! The sauce on the chicken was amazing and the chicken was so moist! My husband had the tilapia, which was really scrumptious as well. We finished our meal off with coffee and a giant tiramisu cheesecake that was to die for! Overall we had quite a nice time here, definitely a secret gem in LA!
mmm – The food is great and the location can't be compared, perfect meeting place for friends on the westside and the valley.
Melt in your mouth filet mignon – We took some friends here for my husbands birthday last weekend and were so pleased. The guys both ordered the filet mignon with horseradish mashed potatoes & shitaki gravy. It was so tender that they didn't even need a knife to cut it! Outstanding! I had the grilled salmon with butternut squash and my friend had the blackened sea scallops over an awesome goat cheese and pancetta salad. Both, also outstanding! We had meantioned when we made the reservation that it was a birthday and the adorable waitress brought out a candle lit banana split the size of Texas. What an impressive presentation and it was scrumptious, as well! We can't wait to go back.
best salads! – This place has the best Chopped Vegetable salad I have ever had! It's unlike any other, and just healthy and tasty. The Caesar Salad is great too and you can add chicken or scallops or shrimp to any of the salads. We were treated really well and I would go back there anytime to eat again.
Sepulveda's secret spot – I live in Encino and my kids live on the Westside. Bel Air Bar and Grill is a godsend! It's the only good restaurant where we can meet "in between". Truthfully, I'd drive twice the distance to eat the food. Some of the best dishes in LA. Try the boullabaise or the lamb. Some of the pastas have been on the menu a little to long though-- but it doesn't pretend to be Valentino. It's a cozy, friendly place; and worth the price. Quick story: My kids went to USC. We were in there one night sitting next to a Trojan legend. My wife, never the shrinking violet, approached him and told him that our kids were fellow alumni. He laughed, got up and came over to say Hi! It's that type of place. The only negative we ever experienced was one night, after a function at the Getty Museum, we popped in after 9:00. The kitchen was closed. Oh well, we've got no business eating that late, anyway.
Best Caesar Salad and Seafood Bouillabaisse – Great rendevouz spot between the Valley and the Westside! A somewhat hidden gem
seen only by its low-key sign on the street. The menu is an excursion into 'Favorite
Foods' land. Meat loaf? Steak Parmigiana? Fried Calamari? oh, don't tell me! Macaroni and Cheese with white truffle oil, too? (my latest obsession). Cozy fireplace tables are
the way to go, though eating at or in the comfortable Bar with all the regular (and I do
mean REGULAR) customers is always entertaining. Staff seems to know everyone's name and desires, especially Armando (the long suffering bartender) who makes the best
Margarita in the City. Waiters are friendly and helpful (even though I bring my friend who is 'The Queen of Menu Substitutions' and cringe myself at what she asks the kitchen to do) and they haven't rolled their eyes or said no to a special request yet! Try dining on the enclosed patio with the twinkle lights. It's away from the dining room clamor and set up to make for a romantic experience. I've been coming here for years and almost don't want to spoil its warm neighborhood feel with 'The Others', but the food is outstanding, the Staff is welcoming and I know I can at least always get a seat at the bar!
EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE AND FOOD!! Great for a romantic evening or for a group! – I went here for a special occasion dinner with my husband and my parents. I made the reservation a week beforehand and we had a fantastic table right by the fireplace. The food was delicious. I ordered the special that night which was a butternut squash risotto with seared scallops and it was excellent. My Mom commented that her filet mignon was one of the best she ever had. We sampled several appetizers including the chicken potstickers and the calamari. Everything we had was scrumptious and the desserts were out of this world! They also had a very extensive wine menu which is always a plus.
The service was outstanding. Our waiter was very attentive and knowledgeable. He told us all of the changes they were making to become more environmentally responsible. He said they had just installed a new water system for flat and sparkling water so they are not constantly throwing out bottles and he also mentioned that they are composting. He said that over time they will be doing more improvements such as these in an effort to become a completely "GREEN" restaurant.
I would highly recommend this restaurant. It's now one of my FAVORITE spots!
