He began college at the Case School of Applied Science in 1939 but grew disillusioned with the treatment he received there. As the only black student in their cooperative program (designed to find work for its students), he found it demeaning to be told that the school's efforts to find him a job in a hospital kitchen or as a busboy were fruitless. He transferred to the University of California Berkley, then back home to eventually graduate from the University Of Illinois School Of Chemistry in 1943. Gardner took a research post at the University of Chicago's Argonne National Laboratory.
For the next four and a half years he was involved on classified plutonium research that was known as the Manhattan Project-the making of the atomic bombs that were dropped on Japan in 1945. He worked under nuclear scientist Dr. Enrico Fermi and radioactivity scientist Dr. Nathan Sugarman. Gardner was one of more than a dozen black scientists who were involved in research on the atomic project. Those black scientists known to have been involved in the metallurgical laboratories also included Lloyd Albert Quarterman, Edward A. Russell, Moddie Taylor, Harold Delaney, Benjamin Scott, J. Ernest Wilkins, and Jaspar Jefferies. A second group at Columbia University included George Dewitt Turner, Cecil Goldsburg White, Sydney Oliver Thompson, William Jacob Knox, and George Warren Reid Jr. Despite his work on the atomic bomb, Gardner could not find an academic position in his field when he left Argonne in 1947 so he worked as a waiter until 1949.
Known throughout most of his life as "Ralph Alexander Gardner," he added the "Chavis" surname late in his career in recognition of his relationship to John Chavis, the first African American to graduate from Princeton in 1760. In 1949 he became a research chemist and project leader at the Standard Oil Company in Ohio, where he remained for almost twenty years. Gardner-Chavis then took a teaching position in Cleveland State University's chemistry department, where he remained full-time from 1968 to 1985.
He later combined part-time teaching with work in the research lab of Molecular Technology Corp., a private firm where he also served as the Vice President of Research and on the board of directors. Currently, he holds emeritus status in the CSU Chemistry Department, where he continues his research on catalysis and molecular technology, topics on which he has published numerous scholarly articles.
He became a pioneer chemist whose research into plastics led to the development of so-called "hard plastics." His innovations in the manipulation of catalytic chemicals led to the products for the petrochemical and pharmaceutical industries as well as plastics.
Dr. Ralph Gardner-Chavis became a member of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity in 1942 and AICHE in 2001.

I don't know if the last 2 1/2 months have been the toughest time of my life — I certainly remember a few times when I was younger when I felt a lot more hopeless — but when the person you love the most in the world is already on long-term disability for other problems and then breaks a bone in her back, that's pretty rough.
Five weeks ago, my wife had surgery to repair the fracture. She is recuperating slowly, but has yet to have a single day without pain only a few levels below shark bite.
No fun at all.
Until this weekend.
Our daughter Pauline came to visit from Jamaica, and she brought along a bundle of fun — our 16-month-old grandson Lexington Wesley Kastner.
Lex is at an age when he seems truly to be enjoying himself. as often as not, he has a big smile on his face. His vocabulary — at least the words we can identify as meaning something — is still in single digits, but this kid is constantly chirping. He enjoys so many things, too. Pauline says what he seems to have the most fun with at all is carrying the broom around their house, and we saw some of that this weekend.
We didn't do all that much this weekend. Nicole is going through a rough period and we were pretty much tied to the house and the area around it. We do have a "grandchildren's park" in our community and Pauline took Lex there a few times so he could play.
I haven't been around babies much. I never fathered a child myself and I didn't become a dad until Pauline was 12 and Virgile was 7. I really think my closest exposure as an adult came when I vacationed in Los Angeles in May 1986 and stayed with my friend Mick Curran. His daughter Kelsey — my unofficial niece — was just seven months old then. They lived in a small apartment and Kelsey was suffering from colic at the time. She was wailing pretty much nonstop for most of the night.
People who have — or have had — babies love to tell those who haven't that that's the way life is, and if that small amount of crying bothers you, it's a good thing you never had to care for a baby. Maybe that's true, but I also figure that if it's your own kid, and you're young, you manage it.
So he shrieked a little having his hair washed. He was still wonderful.
And if you look at the second picture, having him around was good for Nicole's spirits too.
Her pain is starting to improve, very slowly but measurably. If we can get past that and get her back on her feet regularly, we can start working on the other stuff.
It's too bad Lex won't be around every day to cheer up his grandparents, but spending time with him this weekend did a lot for me.
Winter is nearly over.
I'm hoping for a good spring.

About Me Professional/Guide
Comments about Light Year 1 Tent - 1 person, 3 season:
Roomy and comfortable enough, although difficult to set up for the first few times. Fly clips are very difficult to undo. However, it's extremely light & compact and great value for the price paid.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Great tent
By lightbiketourer
from Fort Collins, CO
About Me Avid Adventurer
I bought this tent for a solo bike trip because I needed something light that was still roomy enough to hang out it (ie, not a bivy sack). I am incredibly happy with it. It packs really small, so it fit easily in my panier, and it was quite light. Pretty quick and easy to set up. I don't love the way that the fly attachments work, but once you figure them out it's not that bad. All in all, a great purchase.
Great Product
By Lap Dog
from Boise ID.
Really liked the product. Shipped fast, was well priced, ways nothing, looked nice. My wife and I each have one and found that, though a little cramped, we could even share one over night (I am 5'10" 200lbs). I also like that this tent came in earth tone colors so it doesnt draw attention in the woods like a road flare.

text: CNN Panel: Dorner's Alleged Murder Spree 'Exciting,' Like 'Denzel Washington Movie' Panelists MC Lyte, Jack Moore, Editor of BuzzFeed Sports, Lauren Ashburn, Editor-in-chief at The Daily Download, and Mark Lamont Hill joined Brooke Baldwin on CNN today to talk about the social media support for alleged quadruple killer Christopher Dorner. Ashburn was the only one on the panel who had a problem with the alleged cop killer being celebrated saying that he crossed a line when he began killing people to get his revenge for his alleged grievences. The rest of the panel concluded that Dorner "had a point" and that the unfolding story was theatric. Hill said that the saga was "exciting," "like 'Django Unchained' in real life," and Dorner was similar to a "super hero." Moore said that it was like watching a "Denzel Washington movie" and that the social media support was just Internet "weirdness." Lyte concluded that because "children" were being killed by police brutality this event brought about a conversation that should occur. Baldwin agreed and said, "I'm glad we had this conversation."

I would suggest going to the MANA website (mana.org) and finding out if Direct-Entry Midwifery is legal in your state and what their educational requirements are. Some states will allow you to be a licensed midwife if you attend a state-approved school, some states will license you if you are a CPM, and in some states, direct0entry midwifery is illegal and you can only practice midwifery as a CNM.
There is no way you must begin. I would suggest taking an introductory course or reading a book like "Heart and Hands" by Elizabeth Davis. Some midwives start by working as a doula. It really depends on what your life experience has been...
A new introductory workshop is being offered where you can explore midwifery and how it will work for you.

OURAY – The Ouray City Council will appoint a new councilor at its upcoming meeting on Feb. 3, following Councilor Michael Underwood's resignation earlier this week.
Underwood announced his resignation at a Ouray City Council meeting on Tuesday evening, Jan. 21, stating that his family had requested that he resign.
Letters of intent from Ouray residents who are interested in filling the vacancy will be accepted by the City of Ouray for the next two weeks, said Mayor Pam Larson. At council's regular meeting on Feb. 3, each applicant will be given three to five minutes to stand before council and speak about why they feel they are a strong candidate for the position.
Council will then discuss the merits of the applicants and make an appointment. All deliberations must be held in open session. The public will also be encouraged to weigh in on the matter. The appointee will serve for the remainder of Underwood's four-year term, which expires in Nov. 2015.
The city's Home Rule Charter requires that council vacancies be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining council members, not by general election. There is no criteria defined in the charter regarding a candidate's eligibility to serve on council, other than living within city limits.
Underwood was elected to a four-year term as a Ouray City Councilor in November 2011, after serving on the City of Ouray Planning Commission for one year. He moved to Ouray with his wife in 2004 and started a property maintenance business, Wildwood Mountain Management, Inc. The business has grown to encompass property management, vacation rentals and real estate as well.

What are causes of knee bursitis?
Comment on this Read 4 Comments
Bursitis of the knee can occur when the bursa fills with blood from injury and overuse, such as from athletic competition. Bursitis can also occur from rheumatoid arthritis and from deposits of crystals, as seen in patients with gouty arthritis and pseudogout. The prepatellar bursa can also become infected with bacteria (septic bursitis). When this happens, fever may be present. This type of infection usually occurs from breaks in the overlying skin or puncture wounds. The bacteria involved in septic bursitis of the knee are usually those that normally cover the skin, called Staphylococcus. Rarely, a chronically inflamed bursa can become infected by bacteria spreading through the blood.
What are knee bursitis symptoms and signs?
Comment on this Read 26 Comments
Bursitis can lead to varying degrees of swelling, warmth, tenderness, and redness in the overlying area of the knee. As compared with knee joint inflammation (arthritis), it is usually only mildly painful. It is frequently associated with increased pain when kneeling and can cause stiffness and pain with walking. Also, in contrast to problems within the knee joint, the range of motion of the knee is frequently preserved.
How is knee bursitis diagnosed?
Bursitis of the knee is diagnosed based upon the typical location of a bursa displaying signs of inflammation including pain, tenderness, stiffness, and sometimes redness and warmth. Typically, there is point tenderness at the site of the inflamed bursa.

We've all heard of apartment houses that don't allow pets. But one landlord in North Hollywood won't let you rent from her unless you have a pet.
You read correctly. No pet. No lease.
Judy Guth has owned her 12-unit apartment house for some 40 years, CBS Los Angeles reports. And it's been the same since the beginning. You don't even have to pay a security deposit.
Instead, you get brand new carpeting, reports the LA Daily News.
Sounds like a pretty good deal to us.
In the event of an untimely pet passing, Guth has even been known to accompany a tenant to the shelter to select a new four-legged companion, says the Daily News.
A sign out front modestly says, "'A Nice Place to Live' with Pets."
Contacted by several members of the media, the Los Angeles City Attorney's office says there's no law against mandating pets.
Guth, 84, told CBS she's willing to sell the property -- but only if they continue the tradition of keeping it pets-only.
Trending: No Pet, No Lease — This Place Doesn't Just Allow Dogs, It Requires Them
You want a unit in a highly desired 12-unit complex? You better bring Fido along in the rare event of a vacancy.

As a cat owner, I had to look high and low before I found a place that allowed her. Had to pay a $200.00 non-refundable deposit and $20.00 monthly additional rent. Nothing was mentioned about declawing and if it was, I would have told them to cram the apartment up their ass. Would NEVER do that to a cat. Yeah, I know there are careless pet owners, but the damages that I have seen the maintenance crew have to repair where I live has nothing to do with pets: holes punched in the walls, light fixtures torn down, cigarette burns in the carpet, doors kicked in.......that's human animals at work.

Finally , a landlord that loves animals ! I live in the Bay Area and have owned a professional pet sitting business for the last 15 years ...I can't tell you how many of my clients either tell me the landlord doesn't know they have pets OR that they only have 1 pet vs 2 or 3 ...I think CHILDREN do damage to things, are noisy etc and a lot of parents are irresponsible but you don't see landlords demanding a deposit for kids ....this landlord is a SAINT !! Way to go ...
Ken Briggs February 23, 2014 at 12:07 PM
yes some plaaces do let you have pets . i found a place in Clearlake , Ca last week and i am moving there so i can have a pet . and they told me before i could ask.
Jennifer Erdman February 23, 2014 at 12:45 PM
Yes, love this woman... What a great concept ! And i bet the tenants are friendly to each other and probably know their neighbor pets names !
Judi Middleton February 23, 2014 at 01:54 PM
Bless this lady's heart! When I rented out places some years back, I basically did the same thing, though not "officially". It was so difficult for renters who owned animals to find places to live. I found that they cared more about their homes and kept them very clean. These days, here in our area of Ohio, it is still just as hard to find rentals that will allow pets. Thank you for sharing this positive story with us! Judi
Alek J Hidell February 23, 2014 at 01:55 PM
Americans who live with dogs are no cleaner than the filthy beasts. Americans that think an animal is a human are mentally ill. If you want to live in a kennel with them that is fine but please far away from normal society.
Judi Middleton February 23, 2014 at 02:55 PM
Feel sorry for you, Alek. Obviously you have never experienced the love of an animal (who are more loyal, loving, compassionate, and intelligent than many human beings I have known in my lifetime). Not trying to quarrel here, just saying I'm sorry you've never felt the love.
Ken Briggs February 23, 2014 at 04:49 PM
Jim & John If you move out of the area you just might want to know whats going on in your home town . so let people know whats going on in your old digs and what is going on in your new place and let people know how better things are . but as for pets ,let people know where the best pet places are . wish more people would let pets in the place
Ken Briggs February 23, 2014 at 05:40 PM
Alek J. Hidell, you can go back where you came from .A lot of fine folks take care of the pets better than them selfs . they will feed the pets first before themself if they are low in funds . if you do not like pets then do not have one . at lease they do not talk back to you . you treat them right they will stay with you forever .

Ken Briggs, "Alek" doesn't deserve a pet; a person w/ such contempt & dislike of animals who is unable to appreciate the unconditional love, loyalty & companionship they offer is the LAST person who should get a pet. I'd pity the poor animal who is subjected to his crappy attitude & meanness.

steve March 14, 2014 at 10:51 AM
Alek is what us old-timers used to call a "flamer". He's just trying to incite a reaction and that is what some of you are responding to. The point of the article appears to be that this nice old lady rents to pet-owners-only because of the perceived value that pet ownership imbues the human with care-giving characteristics which would then fall over into the way they treat the rental property. Or she simply likes animals. In either case, it is a bit refreshing.
Alek J Hidell March 14, 2014 at 11:34 AM
"pet ownership imbues the human with care-giving characteristics"....wrong. it imbues the human with a sense of power as his slave animal must rely upon his master for food. These are your captive children proxies and you can do what yo want with them; they have no rights.--plus you french kiss them after they lick their rectums of fecal globs and pinworms. Enjoy life in a kennel, freaks.
steve March 14, 2014 at 12:39 PM
I find that a common trait with many cats. They condescend to let us live with them, feed them and otherwise attend to their every need ... under constant threat of being ignored. When they want attention, they want it NOW. When they want food, they want it NOW. When they want to be left alone, you get growled at (unless you scruff them firmly behind the head). And when it's time for bed they sit there and talk at you constantly until you give up and shut off the computer and come to bed. It's almost like being married.

Michael Vick to Arizona Cardinals? ESPN insider suggests it
Vick has thrown just 11 touchdowns against nine interceptions, has been sacked 27 times and has lost three fumbles.
He's missed two games with a concussion, and appears to be running out of time in the City of Brotherly Love.
Though he's just a couple years removed from a Pro Bowl season in which he threw 21 touchdowns and just nine interceptions while running for 676 yards and nine scores, at 32 some may think Vick's days as an NFL starter are coming to an end.
ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter says not so fast.
"When you look around the league right now there are enough teams with enough quarterback questions," Shefter opined on ESPN radio Wednesday. "But you look at right now, who has quarterback questions? Michael Vick, would he be an upgrade in Buffalo, would he be an upgrade in Arizona, would he be an upgrade with the Jets?
"Would he be an upgrade with any team that has quarterback questions right now? Those three come to mind."
Schefter noted that if any of those teams feel like they can do better than Michael Vick then it's possible he'll be relegated to being a backup for whatever team he's with next season.
However, given that the Cardinals have started Derek Anderson, Max Hall, John Skelton, Kevin Kolb and Ryan Lindley over the last few seasons, it's fair to believe that no, the Cardinals cannot do better than Michael Vick.

IN THE SPRING of 2005, Senate Democrats were in an uproar. Republicans, infuriated over what they perceived as the Democratic minority's abuses of the filibuster to block judicial nominees, were threatening to deploy the so-called nuclear option: changing the filibuster rules by a simple majority vote, rather than requiring the 67 votes ordinarily required for a rules change.
"The current Senate majority intends to do what the majority in the Senate has often done — use its constitutional authority . . . to reform Senate procedure by a simple majority vote," Majority Whip Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said at the time. If Republicans resorted to such a drastic move, warned then-Minority Leader Harry M. Reid (D-Nev.), "the majority should not expect to receive cooperation from the minority in the conduct of Senate business."

Cellar/Tasting Notes "A balanced, elegant 2009 Brunello with dried fruits, hints of chocolate and a citrusy undertone. Full body, very well-integrated tannins and acidity. Drink or hold."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Dark ruby in color, showing beautiful aromas of crushed berries, with hints of sultana, raisin and spices. Full-bodied, with a superrich, powerful palate. This has layers of fruit and a fabulous finish. Decadent and delicious."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Frescobaldi's Castelgiocondo is a protagonist in the Brunello school that prioritizes bold, modern expressions of the Sangiovese Grosso grape. This vintage shows pulpy fruit, soft spice and chocolate backed by dark concentration. The mouthfeel is generous and full with a thick, velvety texture."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2010 Le Serre Nuove dell'Ornellaia shows off tons of concentration and sheer depth. Mocha, espresso, dark cherries and plums are some of the many notes that take shape in the glass. The 2010 is a decidedly powerful, virile wine endowed with considerable power ..."
Cellar/Tasting Notes A fruity and firm red, with berry and dried strawberry character, medium body and firm tannins. Well-structured Rosso di Montalcino. Drink now.
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Pretty textbook Brunello with smooth bright berry nuances packed in a traditional, tight body. Good acidity and firmness with well structured, silky tannin."

Neighborhood Traffic Management Program
What is a Neighborhood Traffic Management Plan?
The City of Woodland Neighborhood Traffic Management Program is an attempt to reduce the negative aspects of traffic (volumes, speeds, and/or accidents) in residential neighborhoods by preparing a Neighborhood Traffic Management Plan that would implement traffic calming measures. The goal of a Neighborhood Traffic Management Plan is to achieve consensus on what traffic calming measures should be taken on a street.
Traffic calming measures can sometimes be controversial within a neighborhood. This is because traffic calming measures also have negative impacts. Possible negative impacts include, but are not limited to, loss of on-street parking, less convenient access, and increased traffic levels on adjacent streets. A Neighborhood Traffic Management Plan will attempt to balance the negative impacts with the desired objectives of the traffic calming program.
What is Traffic Calming?
Traffic calming is a strategy intended to reduce the impact of motor vehicle traffic on a City street. Usually this strategy is implemented in residential areas. Traffic calming measures can be any combination of roadway modifications, planning features, or traffic control devices that are intended to slow cars down or lower the volume of traffic.
There are three levels of traffic calming: (1) Education and Enforcement, (2) Passive Measures, and (3) Active Measures.
1. Education and Enforcement seeks to reduce speeds through increased neighborhood awareness.
2. Passive Measures are signing and striping effects that are intended to influence speed or volumes. Regulatory signs, landscape, and pavement markings are passive measures.
3. Active Measures are physical changes to a roadway. Examples of active measures include speed humps and road closures.
What is the City Policy Regarding Traffic Calming?
As part of the implementation of the 1996 General Plan, the City has developed a process and a program for the use of traffic calming measurements in both new and existing development areas. On March 16, 1999, the City Council adopted the proposed Neighborhood Traffic Management Program Development Report as a guideline for the installation of traffic calming measures in both new and existing areas. Emergency vehicles can be delayed by traffic calming, therefore, the City has collector streets and arterial roads not suitable for any measures and others not suitable for speed humps.
How Do I Get Traffic Calming Measures Installed on My Street?
The City has adopted a multi-step process for the construction of traffic calming features on a public street. Briefly, these steps are as follows:
1. Petition to have the City conduct a warrant analysis (to be signed by 20% of the residents on a defined segment of road).
2. A warrant analysis of vehicle speeds, volumes, and land use will determine whether the street qualifies for either active or passive measures.
3. Locations qualifying for passive measures will be studied and suggested measures will be brought before the Traffic Safety Commission and City Council for approval.
4. Locations qualifying for active traffic calming measures will require the preparation of a Neighborhood Traffic Management Plan and adoption of the project by the Traffic Safety Commission and City Council.
5. Prior to the preparation of a Neighborhood Traffic Management Plan, a 60% petition is required (for active calming measures only).
6. Preparation of a Neighborhood Traffic Management Plan by the City.
7. Confirmation/Protest hearing.
8. Council approval.
9. Funding allocation (Dependent on available resources and City Council prioritization).
How Can I Get a Copy of the Neighborhood Traffic Management Program Development Report?
Copies of the Neighborhood Traffic Management Development Report are available at the City of Woodland Community Development Engineering office for over-the-counter review or may be purchased for $10.00.
How Do I Drive a Roundabout?
Any vehicle that is already in the roundabout has the right-of-way, as opposed to vehicles that are approaching the roundabout.
Traffic approaching the roundabout from any direction will enter the roundabout in a yield condition. This means that when arriving the yield sign, the driver yields the right-of-way to any vehicles that have already entered the roundabout.
When it is safe to enter the roundabout, vehicles proceed to the right (counter-clockwise) and exit at the appropriate street. If there are no vehicles in the roundabout, or if there are vehicles on the opposite side that provide a sufficient gap to enter, drivers may proceed into the roundabout without stopping.
Even if the final destination is to the left, the driver will still enter the roundabout to the right and follow it around the center of the island until the point of exit is reached. Under no circumstances should one attempt to go left.

What is the Speed Limit in a Roundabout?
All roundabouts have a design speed of 25 miles per hour, unless otherwise posted.

What's in Wilson's Doghouse?
At a time when the Alex Rodriguez steroid issue is making the rounds around the sporting world, I'm wondering if Leaf coach Ron Wilson has some of that "magic stuff" stashed inside that doghouse of his. After Ian White and Jason Blake were healthy scratches early on during the season, both players have been playing exceptionally well of late. Ian White is logging a ton of very efficient ice-time on the blueline, while Blake is almost singlehandedly carrying the Maple Leaf offense.

Your lesson will take place in the Reading Adventureland exhibit. Step into a gigantic pop-up book as you follow the Yellow Brick Road into five literary landscapes from children's books: Adventure Island, Mystery Mansion, Fairy Tale Forest, the Upside-Down Nonsense House, and the Wizard's Workshop. Students will have lots of hands-on fun that inspires them to laugh, play, learn, and READ!
Lesson extensions for before or after your visit
Good writers exercise their senses. They focus on what they see, hear, touch, taste, and smell. Then they translate their sensory experiences into words that the readers can easily translate back into the real world.
In their visit to the museum, your students will be engaged in focusing on the core question, "How do writers take us away with words?" The following suggested activities will help your students extend their museum experience.
Bus ride game
Have students play "I Spy" on the bus ride to the museum substituting the senses of sound, smell, and touch for sight. Example: I spy with my sense of touch something ________.
Sensory image
Have students select an illustration from one of their favorite fantasy novels (see suggestions below). Students take turns describing the image to each other using each of the five senses.
Sensory object
Pass around a common household object. Students take turns using different words to describe it. Describe how it feels, how it looks, how it might sound. How long can you pass the object without repeating a word?
Sensory music
Choose a piece of instrumental music to have your students listen to (works by American composer Aaron Copeland are one possibility). Have students describe the scene they imagine in writing. Be sure to have them include what they see, hear, smell, taste, or feel.
Sensory writing
Give each student a Hershey's Kiss (or another piece of wrapped candy). Tell the students to imagine that they have never seen the piece of candy before and have never heard of a Hershey's Kiss before.
Have students free write a series of descriptive passages:
- What the object looks like to them
- What the object feels like to them
- What it feels and tastes like in their mouth
Have the students organize their free writing into a paragraph, or essay, and let them share what they thought the object looked, felt, and tasted like to them.
Story Magic
Direct students to the museum's Story Magic webpage. Have students work in pairs to illustrate a story based on one of the five genres in Reading Adventureland.
Suggested reading

StarCraft II is one of the biggest releases this year and it's been a long time coming. The original one was released well over twelve years ago and now we have the first of three releases coming from Blizzard with StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty.
NVIDIA was kind enough to supply me a copy of the game and after a few regular gaming sessions, I decided to test the game with their GeForce 3D Vision. Now, Blizzard did say they were coming out with a patch to improve 3D gaming when I initially tried it out so I expected an uneven experience using the glasses with StarCraft II.
My test setup included:
Intel i7-860
4GB of ram
Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 480
I'm going to concentrate on the single player campaign as that offers up a few more areas to talk about and this first part is pre-patch. After you get into the game, pretty much everything will be broadcast in 3D; that includes the cut scenes, menus between missions, and the game itself.
Let's start with the cut scenes. Right off the bat, I had to turn off the 3D effect. Raynor, sitting at the bar, was so close to my face that my eyes hurt just trying to view the screen. The other issue was that I saw a double image of Raynor overlaying each other, which didn't help the cause. Only small amounts of the various cut scenes were viewable with the GeForce 3D Vision.
As for the game itself, my review of the GeForce 3D Vision mentioned that for any RTS game I tested, I had to turn down the depth in order to be somewhat playable as the cursor hovered over the battlefield too much to be useful. The same issue exists here as well as with the default depth set, the units and map were in planes too far in the screen for the cursor to be accurate with. It's similar to crosshairs in an FPS game being too close on the screen and not pushed back some. If the cursor was, say, a few inches further back from its current position, then it would be in an optimal distance from the map for accurate selection.
The HUD floated well above the battle field making for a cool effect. Seeing it hover above the playing field was akin to some of the special effects seen in some sci-fi movies. If there's one thing that really stood out as being well done with 3D before the patch, it's the HUD.
The animated characters in the windows of the HUD were a hit or miss though. Some just floated way too far above the HUD while others, like when talking with some of the characters. There were also some weird effects when certain objects were casting a light, as if the light's depth was off compared to where it should be on the object.
So, as expected, playing StarCraft II before the 1.1.0 patch was unplayable. There were some good moments but for the most part, there was no way to finish a game with it on.
Now, patch 1.1.0 has finally come out and this is the patch that NVIDIA and Blizzard has said that offers up true support for GeForce 3D Vision. For this article, I'm on patch 1.1.1, which was just released on September 28th. So how is the experience now? Well, it's pretty damn good now.
First off, they eliminated the cut scene issue by just removing 3D support from the cut scenes. None of the cut scenes are now rendered in 3D so that makes that issue non-existent. I think I would've liked to have seem them do a little work in making the cut scenes better supported in 3D though as I liked watching some of them in games like Resident Evil 5.
Most of the objects seemed to be rendered correctly and at the correct depth now. The issue with buildings or units giving off light and causing the glow to be at a different plane has been fixed so now the lights actually shine from exactly where they should be. I know this was one of the very annoying aspects pre-patch that existed everywhere since many objects emit light.
When I first tried the 3D mode, the view seemed off. The HUD no longer floated on top while the rest of the game world popped out causing some focusing issues. Trees and building were far too close and having the HUD at a plane that's farther in than the game world made it a focusing nightmare. Using the dial to try and adjust the depth yielded no improvement.
That is, until I turned to a new option screen that now appears in game. A new screen lets you adjust the depth and separation of the 3D effect. Because of this, NVIDIA disabled the controls on the emitter so you would adjust everything in game. The optimal setting I found is also one that NVIDIA recommends, which I have shown below.
After these adjustments, the experience was a lot, lot better. Before playing on default settings, I could only stomach about a 20 minute game before my eyes became fatigued from having to adjust to the various 3D effects. After the adjustment, everything was much easier on the eyes and I was able to last long periods of time playing with the glasses on.
The game world now sits as it originally did pre-patch with the HUD floating above the playing field. The cursor sat farther in the screen at a level that matched the depth of the units and game world. Something really cool is that if you do move your mouse over to the floating HUD, the cursor pops up so that it sits on the same plane as the HUD making it easy to click on elements there. Once you move the mouse cursor back to the playing field, it falls back into a plane that's optimal for the game.
The units all looked great in full 3D and when you zoom into the battlefield, it's like you're looking at miniatures on a game board. The flying units all look really cool as they seem to float out towards you as they moved around the battlefield. Seeing the units explode into pieces in the air and fall to the ground was very satisfying in 3D. The different level of depth in the battlefield is enhanced greatly by the 3D patch making for a richer and realistic depiction of the game world.
Overall, the patch made a great difference in the gaming experience of StarCraft II. It fixed most of the problems that I had and made for a very enjoyable experience once you adjusted the sliders in the new option screen. It's too bad they removed the 3D from the cut scenes but maybe they'll find a way to put it back in.
With the new patch, I would most definitely play the game with 3D Vision on for long periods of time. It enhances an already great game and you almost feel like you're playing a table top game with real miniatures with how it looks. Great job by Blizzard and NVIDIA to make a solid 3D experience with the latest patch.

The Year
What a year I've had. From the spring of 2011 to the spring of 2012, my life changed utterly. There have been few years in my life more eventful, and few years that mixed joy and pain in such bracing amounts. With the year now done, I'm hesitant to draw any lessons--I just look back in amazement.
In the spring of 2011, my husband and I adopted a son. We had planned it for several years, saving up money and going through the rigorous screening required of all adoptive parents. The process was, for us, miraculous. We were able to attend the birth of our son, a healthy baby boy weighing in at 7 pounds, 5 ounces.
In the summer of 2011, my mother died unexpectedly at the age of 58. While she was ill for many years with rheumatoid arthritis, her passing was--as difficult as it is to write--somewhat accidental. Shortly afterward, I was forced to leave my three-month-old son to fly home for a memorial service.
The rest of the year was a blur. My siblings visited, my son grew by leaps and bounds, and I mourned. We made friends with other couples raising young children. I wrote and edited dozens of articles for multiple outlets. And, of course, I managed my diabetes, marking a quarter-century with the disease.
Before I knew it, a year had passed. My son was celebrating his first birthday. During this summer, I realized, I would mark a year since my mother's passing. Twelve months, gone by before I realized it. Unbelievable.
My Mom
To me, there is ultimately little to be gained by sugar-coating things. The final years of my mother's life were sometimes unpleasant. At times, they were awful. But we learn a great deal about people from watching them in difficult situations, and my mother was an astonishing survivor.
She didn't moan. She didn't complain. She didn't pity herself. She forged ahead every single day. Even in her last months, when an old injury prevented her from walking more than a few steps without severe pain, she constantly reached out. She spoke to family and friends on the phone, through e-mail, and via Web chat. She refused to let her life be compromised any more than it had to be.
For a person with diabetes, these are not small lessons. Her absolute refusal to be defined by her illness should inspire anyone grappling with health concerns.
There was a sad lesson too, though. And it was simple: We do not have any guarantees. We can do everything right--see doctors, monitor our health, do good works--and our bodies can still turn against us. We do not know how long we will be here, or in what shape. The world promises us nothing beyond the moment in which we live. Right now.
My Son
Goodness knows what the past year would have been like if I spent all of it in mourning. Knowing my temperament, I could easily have done so.
But the necessity of caring for my son every day, bar none, meant that I could never descend too low. A healthy, happy baby is a miracle beyond measure. Every day, you see something different. Every day, you see development and growth. And every day, you see joy.
Here is the flip side of the lesson I just mentioned. These moments in which we live have the potential for transcendent happiness. The laugh of a child, a silly game, a song, an embrace: All of these things take mere seconds. Yet these moments matter. They have the power to change our lives and make us better people.
As the year passed, I found myself stretched in new and interesting ways. Could I deal with diaper rash, changing dietary needs, and teething? Sure. Could I deal with first words, clapping hands, and delighted expressions? Absolutely.
I missed my mother so many times during that year. I longed for her advice and reassurance, which had been so important during the first few months of my son's life. As I grieved, however, I felt her presence. Her advice may not have come through a telephone line, but it lodged itself in my mind nevertheless.
I've already written about my mother and son in Diabetes Health, but I've written less about myself and about my reactions. There are many reasons for this, among them shyness. But perhaps the main one is that my reactions haven't been that interesting.
It has been an intense time. But I expected that after working through such joy and pain, I would have a profoundly different understanding of life. I expected transcendent revelations. None was forthcoming.
I love my son. I mourn my mother. And I spent the last year loving and mourning intensely. I understand, forcefully, that life is made of moments and that nothing is promised us. Yet I don't know anything more about life than before these experiences, except for what it feels like to love and mourn intensely. I try appreciate the moments I have. But I would gladly trade away that knowledge to bring back my mom.
I didn't fall apart. My diabetic control didn't run off a cliff. Sure, there were a few months where I made poorer choices than I might have otherwise. But the choices weren't that poor, and I was able to wrest back control and continue on course.
It's easy to blame these intense experiences for such choices. Knowing myself, however, I can't guarantee that I wouldn't have had the same issues if I were simply grappling with being a new father. Heck, I may have had the same issues if I were simply grappling with being myself.
Whatever happens, lives move on. That's the reality in which we live. People are born, people pass away, and people keep living and working. Over the next few months, I'll be moving, working on a television show (not diabetes-related), and completing some creative writing projects. Maybe I'll even return to the land of the elusive sub-6% A1C.
There's a misunderstanding sometimes about people who cover health. Because we often write about disease and poor health choices, some folks believe that we're scolds or nanny types out to run their lives. Nothing could be further from the truth.
We do touch on diseases and poor choices. But we also write about hard-won health and good choices, because writing about health ultimately means writing about living. It means writing about the creativity and inspiration of medical professionals and their patients. It means writing about the moments that make up our uncertain, beautiful lives.
It means writing about hope.

On June 16th, the House passed the Government Efficiency, Effectiveness and Performance Improvement Act (H.R. 2142) by voice vote. It will give Congress new tools to reduce wasteful and ineffective government spending by requiring the heads of federal agencies to identify near-term and long-term high-priority goals for their agencies, and to make public quarterly assessments of progress toward achieving those goals. Specifically, the bill:
- Requires federal agencies to assess agency performance on a quarterly basis to ensure federal taxpayer dollars are being spent in an effective manner.
- Increases the transparency and accountability of government by requiring that each federal agency submit performance assessments to determine the effectiveness in meeting established high-priority goals that have a direct benefit to the American people.
- Makes assessment reports publicly available to both Congress and the American people so that they have critical information on federal agencies' strengths and weaknesses.
This bipartisan bill will help reduce the nation's deficit by shining light on ineffective federal programs and help prevent federal agency programs and projects from wasting tens of millions of taxpayer dollars while producing no tangible result. With greater government efficiency, we can produce cost savings for every American taxpayer.
Overview of provisions:
Requiring Identification of High-Priority Goals for Federal Agencies. The bill requires the heads of federal agencies, in consultation with OMB, to identify near-term and long-term high-priority goals for their agencies, and to tie these goals to specific performance outcomes.
Requiring Frequent Performance Assessments. The bill requires more rigorous and aggressive oversight by mandating that senior agency leadership conduct performance assessments on a quarterly basis on how effectively they are working to meet the goals they have identified.
Ensuring Transparency to the Public of Performance Assessments. The bill requires that these quarterly performance assessments be made available to Congress and the American public, in order to allow the public to assess the agency's progress toward achieving its goals.
Ensuring Accountability of Program Managers. Under the bill, managers will be held accountable to senior agency leadership and OMB for the performance reviews related to the agency's goals. If a program, project or activity is not on target to reach its goals, managers are required to use evidence gathered during the review to adjust their actions to reach the goal.
GAO Review. The bill requires GAO to perform frequent and detailed evaluations of agency implementation of this legislation. GAO will also assess whether selected goals are actually providing direct value to the public and whether the agencies are implementing the results of assessments and whether they are effectively spending taxpayer dollars.
Performance Improvement Officers. The bill elevates the rank of Performance Improvement Officers by requiring that they be senior agency executives. It also defines their role as supporting quarterly performance reviews, advising on the selection of priority goals, and helping to align personnel appraisals with performance priorities.
Performance Improvement Council. The bill also establishes an inter-agency Performance Improvement Council to recommend performance management policies to OMB, share best practices, and continually improve the performance review process.
