Finally got to see it last night. The show holds special memories for me as it was the first West End musical I saw when I moved to London at the tender age of 18 and the show that really got me into musicals. I think I saw it a total of 5 times during its original run.
So it was wonderful seeing it again and was blown away. Fabulous cast and staging. God those guys work so hard. Wonderful dancing and singing by everyone. Will be going again a few times more for sure.
Oh I think there must have been a special offer outside the theatre for boiled sweets in celophane wrappers as everyone seemed to have a massive bag full which they devoured throught the show especially at the quieter moments. And I think that Age Concern had booked the theatre for the night as their annual outing. Bless them.

There is some prescedent - in the original cast Donna McKechnie won the Best Actress Tony for playing Cassie, while Priscilla Lopez (Morales) and Kelly Bishop (Sheila) both nominated as Best Featured Actress. Bishop won - so I guess Sheila is a role that gets awards. Interestingly for the 2007 Broadway revival Charlotte d'Amboise who was playing Cassie was nominated for Best Featured Actress - so who knows whether it's now considered a lead role or a featured role - and which category it was put in for this year's Oliviers. If it was considered featured (or supporting) then they could have had several cast members as potential nominees (inc Gary Wood as Paul) so they may have cancelled each other out, one of the problems of having only one award for supporting role - either male or female.

Leigh Zimmerman totally deserves to win.. She's a class act and steals the show.
Posted 29 March 2013 - 08:26 PM
Na, i think Debbie Kurup of The Bodyguard has stolen the award from Leigh
Posted 29 March 2013 - 08:36 PM
God i hope not, she was ok at best
Posted 29 March 2013 - 08:45 PM
Compared to the rest of the nominations, Debbie is by far the frontrunner... The Bodyguard is gonna win three of their 4 nominations i think, the only not winning being Best Actress
Posted 29 March 2013 - 11:28 PM
Leigh's been blessed with a really strong role with great lines, the role that gets most of the laughs. She's brilliant with impeccable comic timing but I think it's probably more because of the role than the actress which has gained the nomination. It's a shame they don't have a category for best ensemble cast in a musical as I think A Chorus Line would be the front runner for that!
Posted 30 March 2013 - 07:01 AM
There's no way the tacky set is going to win. The Curious Incident will win that

I would not recommend this spa it's way over price .I had an appointment for 4pm I waited for 1 hr and all the said was sorry this is really unprofessional . Then the said 1 hour massage but the woman leave the room for 20 mins . It's a real ripoff
Great Cut, Great Service, Great Value – First and foremost, Nanette gave me a great haircut, and she was obviously very focused on giving me the look that I wanted, while at the same time, providing her opinion and feedback regarding what was most likely to be flattering (but in a way that was not at all pushy).
In addition--and also very important to me---everyone was very nice and went out of their way to provide a pleasant experience. You won't find any of the attitude that is prevalent at so many pricey Manhattan salons. Just down-to-earth great service. Worth mentioning--the woman who gave me my shampoo (sorry--I can't remember her name)--did an awesome job--a perfect scalp massage that was both relaxing and invigorating.
Finally, the price is very reasonable, given the quality of the cut and service.
Highly recommend!
Unbelievable Service!!!!!! – I have been going to Spectrym Salon for over 20 years and have never been disappointed! Everyone of the Stylists, and Assistants and Spa Workers are excellent. The owners and the receptionists are so friendly and are always acomadating. I have never had a problem. Only, amazing service and talent has ever come out of that salon.
What I have learnt from all my years in Forest Hills is communication is the key to everything that we encounter. It seems everyone is in a hurry and wants the cheapest service. I believe we get what we pay for. Everytime I speak to one of the stylists they are going to on class or another. They are up on all the new and creative education that is out there. I was recently in the city and needed a haircut I was staying there for the weekend. I paid 125.00 and was extremely dissapointed I went back to Spectrym and paid $50.00 for an excellent cut.
Good salon with nice people – I have been going to this salon for the past 5 years and it is pretty good compared to the other 20 I have tried. Consistency is something hard to find and I have to say even here I have not always found consistency.
Some people say that the owner is rude and I get that but the stylists are pretty good and friendly. Don't let the front desk workers or the owner reflect the stylists and spa workers. Plus in comparison to the other salons I have been to the owner is friendly especially in comparison to the snobby salons I tried out on Long Island.
I went to Spectrym with very uneven color, black in the front and brown in the back. I came out with all brown hair. It is not flawless as there are some parts by my ears which were very very dark that are still a little bit darker but it is significantly better than what I went in there with and cost half of what others would charge.
I recommend Paula for color but be very clear and from what I hear Robert for a cut although I have not yet tried a cut by him. However, over the past 5 years I have heard he is the best but didn't want to cheat on my other stylist at the time who happened to have the chair next to him. The clearer you are in any salon the better off you are.
don't waste your time – I just tried to make an appointment for a single process hair color. The guy who answered the phone couldn't give me any prices, didn't ask a single question (do you have grey? how long is your hair?, etc), and couldn't even tell me if they have any specials (which I know they do because I have seen it in the salon window which is right in front of the reception desk). If a salon can't even be professional on the phone with a new client - I'm too scared of the service I would get! They are getting 1 star because I can't get them ZERO which is what they deserve
Do not recommend this salon, at all!! – This is by far the worst salon I have ever been to. The owner is completely disrespectful and undeserving of service. Totally overpriced for below average service. I've been to many above average salons within the five boroughs, and this has by far been my worst experience in a hair salon.
Amazing Talented Hairdressers!!!!!! – I had an appointment Last Thursday and had one of the best experiences of all time. I am very particular about my hair. I called and asked for a very patient hairdresser to talk to about color and the receptionist gave me to Nannette and she explained everything to me. She told me how I would look in the color I asked for. She also suggested a different look .I was a little hesitant until she said how the color would frame my face and how I would look. Well! I told her to do whatever she thought would look good. I LOOK FANTASTIC!!!!!! I LOVE MY COLOR!! After she colored my hair she suggested Lisa to cut me and I got the best haircut ever............. The staff was attentive and so nice and I felt like I was with friends It's about time I found a salon that the hairdresser listens and understands what I want.......See you soon spectrym!!!!!!
Horrible Experience with Color and Overall Service – This place is not even worth one start...I made an appointment on 4/8 for 6pm for color and a haircut. I got there early and its a good thing because the receptionist did not write the appoinment correctly. I told the stylist all I wanted was the grays out of my dark brown hair and basically she put blond in the color so not only did it not take the color but now my gray was another shade and there was blond in my dark brown hair. I was visably upset but before the towel was off my hair the receptionist was asking me to pay because they closed at 7. I should have left then. I then proceeded to get my hair cut and then because at this point they were closing up after the cut the stylist did not fully dry my hair so I left with the back of my head still wet. I am horrified. Not only was the service absolutely terrible but I paid top dollar to leave in tears. I would never return to have this horrific experience again and I would reccommend that no one go there. It is not worth it. Should the owner of this shop want to speak with me she should leave a note on this site with her contact information and I would gladly speak with her.
Mae Does Great Haircut – Cute haircut and that's all I need to say
Do not go here for a wax!! – Came here about a year ago for my first ever Brazilian wax. Big mistake. I forget her name, but she did a horrible job. Obviously it was painful, but it was to the point where I was seeing spots from the pain. She double-dipped into the wax, she left many stray hairs, and worst of all, she ripped off skin!! I was bleeding in two areas. She then threw baby powder on me and called it a day. There was a woman waiting for a wax after me, and I'm pretty sure she didn't change the paper on the bed. I'm just relieved I didn't get an infection from this place. Needless to say, I never returned here again. I've gone to Shobha in Manhattan (they have 3 locations) several times since then and there is a HUGE difference in quality of service. Shobha has yet to disappoint. They are more expensive, but they also provide peace of mind. Really friendly staff, very clean, and they have a strict no double-dip policy. (No I do not work for Shobha). Bottom line, stay away from Spectrym

News Releases by Email
As I See It
Wednesday, August 25, 2010
Media contact: Chairman Rodney Barreto
Keeping common species common is the battle cry for
the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission's (FWC)
Wildlife Legacy Initiative. This program creates strategic
approaches for conserving all of Florida's wildlife, from the fish
in fresh and salt water to the invertebrates that remain unseen to
the naked eye.
There are many ways the initiative works behind the
scenes to prevent any new species from ever having to be listed as
threatened by extinction. First, it develops the state's Wildlife
Action Plan, the strategy that manages all wildlife in Florida.
Second, it develops and maintains partnerships so resources can be
pooled to conserve wildlife throughout the state. Finally, this is
the place where Florida's State Wildlife Grants program is
These grants, funded by the federal government,
provide the opportunity for some very important conservation work
and research by the FWC and our partners. This year's grant
application period started Aug. 20. Applications will be taken
through 5 p.m. Oct. 15. Grants will be awarded in February, and
selected projects will begin on July 1, 2011.
This is a milestone year as the State Wildlife
Grants program celebrates 10 years of providing funding to states
for managing and conserving wildlife. Teaming with Wildlife Week,
Sept. 4-12, celebrates this occasion by highlighting some of the
projects over the past decade that have benefitted from these
funds. These projects not only keep common species common
throughout the United States, but conserve all species so they
don't become so rare that the price to protect them becomes too
costly economically, socially and environmentally.
The State Wildlife Grants program crosses state
boundaries as well to work throughout the entire habitat of a
species. A project begun in 2008, to restore the habitat of the
red-cockaded woodpecker, involves the states of Alabama, Georgia
and Florida as well as the federal government. Grant funds cover
the cost of restoring sandhill habitat that has disappeared in the
southeastern United States at an alarming rate in the past
half-century. Not only does the restoration conserve the habitat of
the red-cockaded woodpecker, but all other species dependent on the
ecosystem benefit. Project activities include prescribed fires and
thinning dense pine stands.
Another 2008 project, headed by the Florida Natural
Areas Inventory, resulted in the discovery of a new species of
invertebrate. The Auburndale scrub scarab was discovered by a
volunteer, and its known habitat is only in a very small patch of
scrub in Polk County. This gives scientists hope that there are
more species out there yet to be discovered, which points to
healthy habitats and thriving species.
A project completed last year, studied the impacts
of coral bleaching across the South Florida reef tract from Martin
County to the Dry Tortugas. This project provided further detail on
the genetic makeup of the two species of coral studied. Its data
will assist scientists in the future as the stresses on our coral
systems become greater.
Grant applications this year must be relevant to
the Florida's State Wildlife Action Plan and address a conservation
threat to a priority habitat or address the needs of a Species of
Greatest Conservation Need. Priority habitats include coral reef,
sandhill, scrub, softwater stream, spring and spring run, and
seagrass. Preference will be given to projects that address
multiple Species of Greatest Conservation Need and climate change.
In addition, projects must be collaborative in nature and contain a
non-federal match of 35 percent.
Each year Florida's Wildlife Legacy Initiative
gives out dozens of grants to worthy projects that are feasible,
logical and have a high probability of success. This program stands
for the very best of what we can do as wildlife managers to ensure
the future sustainability of our fish and wildlife resources.
Here's the chance for our partners to come together
in a win-win situation for Florida's species. Doing something now
to conserve our common species will prevent the high price we'll
have to pay in the future to keep a species from going extinct. To
find out more about Florida's Wildlife Legacy Initiative and
Florida's State Wildlife Grants program, go to

999 East Camino Real, Boca Raton, FL | Directions 3343226.3389701843262 -80.0733642578125
M-Su 24hr
One of the worst restaurants I've ever been – I happened to be in Boca for a business trip, and thought I'd try Carmen's At The Top-The Bridge for our Valentines dinner.
When we were first seated, it was 30 minutes before someone ever came back to ask if we'd like anything to drink. It took 15 minutes to get those drinks, and another 15 before someone took our order. First course came 30 minutes later, with additional courses taking as long. Additionally we ordered our steaks to be done as Medium?and they came out very well done. On top of that, no one ever came back to fill our water?and when I finally did flag someone down to order another drink, it was forgotten about and I had to go to the bar myself.
To make a long story short, it was a total of 3 hours before we finally got a bill?which was over $200 for mediocre food. This restaurant makes my top 5 all time worst restaurants I've ever been too.

Young Antioch organ donor's heart lives on
BY DAN MORAN firstname.lastname@example.com January 15, 2013 8:10PM
1/14/13 Antioch A one year memorial lantern lighting at Hillside Cemetery for 19 year old Elizabeth "Lizzie" Collins who was killed in a car accident on I-94 near Lake Forest. Lizzie's organs were donated saving the lives of 5 people and giving two the gift of sight. | Dan Luedert~Sun-Times Media

Updated: February 17, 2013 6:28AM
ANTIOCH — A year ago Sunday, Krissy Kram recalled, the family and friends of Elizabeth "Lizzie" Collins were "jammed into a little hospital space," saying their goodbyes after the 19-year-old succumbed to injuries suffered in a pileup on the Tri-State Tollway.
After deciding to hold a ceremony around the one-year anniversary of her passing, much of that same group gathered after dark at Hillside Cemetery on Monday night to send Collins a message in the January air. Their chosen method? Wish lanterns — biodegradable paper bubbles that float away from the heat of a small flame.
"They're getting really popular for weddings, (and) I was trying to find a way to celebrate her life when I found them on the Internet," said Kram, Collins' older sister. "We brought 72 lanterns and they all went up."
In the crowd were family members that drove in from as far away as Oak Lawn and Tinley Park, including aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, grandparents and great-grandparents. Kram said everyone was invited to write a sentiment on a lantern before launching it.
"We passed out Sharpies and people wrote down what they wanted," Kram said. "We wrote all kinds of things — 'we love you,' 'hope you get this.' Some people wrote her name on it, the date, things like that."
Collins, a 2010 graduate of Antioch High School, was left with multiple traumatic injuries on Jan. 13, 2102, after her Jeep Liberty was struck by a semi-trailer that lost control on the northbound Tri-State near Half Day Road while trying to avoid a three-car accident. Her passing at Advocate Condell Medical Center in Libertyville began a new chapter for her family and individuals across the country, as her decision to become an organ donor set in motion a series of medical procedures that saved lives and restored sight.
According to information supplied by Kram and Collins' mother, two men in California each received one of Collins' corneas; her left kidney went to a woman in Illinois; her liver was donated to a 61-year-old Illinois man; and a 26-year-old mother of three, who had been in a Chicago-area hospital for a month with cardiac problems, received Lizzie Collins' heart.
While confidentiality concerns have kept more specific information private, Kram said her family told officials at the Itasca-based Gift of Hope Organ & Tissue Donor Network (giftofhope.org; 630-758-2600) that they welcome contact with any and all of the recipients. To date, they have fielded a letter from the family of a 49-year-old Georgia woman named Susan, a Type-1 diabetic who was on dialysis before receiving Collins' right kidney and pancreas. Another person also received Lizzie's organs.
Kram said her family hopes to connect with the recipients, and word was passed recently that something might be arranged with the 26-year-old mother.
"We're waiting to hear back from the woman who got her heart. We want to hear her heartbeat again," she said. "Lizzie was great with kids, so we were happy to find out that she would be helping to take care of someone's children."
While it remains to be seen if Lizzie Collins' loved ones will make the wish-lantern launch an annual ritual on the anniversary of her organ donations, Kram said plans are being discussed to host a second annual benefit this April — National Donate Life Month — at Michael's Pub in Trevor, Wis.
"Last year, we had 200 people attend and about 40 of them registered to be organ donors that night," she said. "When Lizzie got her driver's license, she asked me and our sisters if she should be an organ donor, and we told her that we were, but she should make up her own mind. And she did it on her own."

NEW ALBANY, Indiana (AP) — Another Republican running for U.S. Senate has angered voters after telling a live television audience that when a woman becomes pregnant during a rape, "that's something God intended." Women voters are key to this year's presidential race, and Republican challenger Mitt Romney has been drawn into this latest issue.
Indiana Senate candidate Richard Mourdock, who's been locked in one of the country's most expensive and closely watched races, was asked during a debate Tuesday whether abortion should be allowed in cases of rape or incest.
"I struggled with it myself for a long time, but I came to realize that life is that gift from God. And, I think, even when life begins in that horrible situation of rape, that it is something that God intended to happen," Mourdock said.
Mourdock became the second Republican Senate candidate to find himself on the defensive over comments about rape and pregnancy. Missouri Senate candidate Todd Akin said in August that women's bodies have ways of preventing pregnancy in cases of what he called "legitimate rape." Akin has repeatedly apologized but has refused to leave his race despite calls to do so by leaders of his own party, including Romney.
Romney distanced himself from Mourdock on Tuesday night, a day after a television ad featuring him supporting Mourdock began airing in Indiana.
"Gov. Romney disagrees with Richard Mourdock's comments, and they do not reflect his views," Romney spokeswoman Andrea Saul said in an email to The Associated Press. Romney aides would not say whether the ad would be pulled and if the Republican presidential nominee would continue to support Mourdock's Senate bid.
Mourdock's comments shake Republicans as they try to gain a majority in the Senate. Republicans need to gain three seats, or four if President Barack Obama wins re-election, and seats that were predicted to remain or turn Republican have grown uncertain.
Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz described Mourdock's comments as "outrageous and demeaning to women" and called on Romney to take his pro-Mourdock ad off the air.
Mourdock explained after the debate that he did not believe God intended the rape but that God is the only one who can create life.
"Are you trying to suggest somehow that God preordained rape, no I don't think that," Mourdock said. "Anyone who would suggest that is just sick and twisted. No, that's not even close to what I said."

Star Power1 of 13
ELLE's Creative Director Joe Zee teams up with fashion's favorite astrologer, Susan Miller, to get a reading on what you'll be wearing circa 2011. Take their advice: Don't get dressed without it!
Sagitarius2 of 13
Susan's Take: Fresh-faced and natural, Sagittarius prefers elegant, relaxed and unpretentious clothing that allows for ease and speed.
Joe's Take: Emily's classic trench, white T-Shirt and black leather pants (all of which I also own, minus the leather) get her where she needs to go without drowning her out. Sag has enough to say without her clothes speaking too.
Capricorn3 of 13
Susan's Take: Capricorn's look is well-bred and understated. Capricorns always manage to look like they come from wealth (the old-money kind) even if they don't.
Joe's Take: She's grounded, secure and practical. There's not a lot of fuss in her style, but it's never sloppy or drab; a true Cap will put an intelligent spin on the simplest basic.
Aquarius4 of 13
Susan's Take: The individualistic, independent Aquarius woman is always ahead of the fashion pack. Others may find her look shocking at first but they'll end up copying her every move.
Joe's Take: Unconventional, individual and unwavering. Aquarius shuns black, classic shapes and anything run-of-the-mill.
Pisces5 of 13
Susan's Take: Pisces puts her look together eclectically, the way a costume designer might dress an actor. She's soft, feminine and dreamy, and loves her fabrics the same way.
Joe's Take: This diaphanous, tiered blue print feels elegant yet casual. Yes, she's dressed up — Pisces love to dress up — but she doesn't look stiff or matronly.
Aries6 of 13
Susan's Take: Aries is an early adopter who adds her own twist to what's new. She loves color and clean, dramatic lines.
Joe's Take: Aries is constantly on the lookout for the next big thing, like the new fit 'n' flare skirt shape that just popped up on Prada's spring runway.
Taurus7 of 13
Susan's Take: A Taurus loves body-con clothing that shows off her killer figure. The "bull" sign likes to shop more than any other, but spends wisely.
Joe's Take: It's tough to get these stubborn types out of a style rut. The simple solution: chic classics that don't date or scream but do mix and match.
Gemini8 of 13
Susan's Take: Ruled by Mercury, Gemini (considered the smart and versatile planet) has a fashion editor's eye.
Joe's Take: The ultimate dual-personality sign! By day a pared-down look, but her after-hours style is far more adventurous. This color block dress is a 180 degree turn from her day wear.
Cancer9 of 13
Susan's Take: Cancer adores girly, ultra-femme shapes and soft, beautiful fabrics.
Joe's Take: Cancer is also considered the domestic sign. This outfit is chic, elegant and decor-inspired, reminding us of the comforts of home.
Leo10 of 13
Susan's Take: Leo's style reflects her healthy ego and major confidence. With her, nothing is halfhearted.
Joe's Take: Female Leos are quite a bunch: headstrong, take-no-prisoners like Madonna and J.Lo who would rock a '70s-inspired military jumpsuit with killer heels.
Virgo11 of 13
Susan's Take: Virgo wants things to be productive and multifunctional; she appreciates tailoring, beautiful embellishments and a solid investment.
Joe's Take: In this crisp jacket and trousers she is practical, meticulous and detailed. Here every button, zipper and seam makes a difference.
Libra12 of 13
Susan's Take: Libra is polished and well-groomed; being super-social also makes her trendy and creative.
Joe's Take: It's also the sign of balance and scales. To keep balance in her personal style, we chose elegant but extremely stylish menswear — and no crazy accessories.
Scorpio13 of 13
Susan's Take: Sensuous, sleek and authoritative, Scorpio keeps life simple with a few well-cut, smart uniforms.
Joe's Take: Scorpio has a reputation as the sex sign, so we wanted to show off her amazing legs with cutoffs, but kept her top more modest and carefree — it's flirty without the big reveal.

For anything I sell, I use very good paper like 100lb or so. it doesn't matter if it's watercolor, colored pencils, plain sketch or whatever. Make sure you use acid free or else the colors will fade over time.
I don't frame mine because it's a pain to ship it and the glass may break. When I ship my artwork, I just tend to cover it in plastic and put in a cardboard backing with notes not to bend it on the mailer (i.e. envelope).
I'm surprised you haven't done any commissions before Ripple. You should try it out and make some extra cash on the side.

Exhibit: History of Neurology at Stanford
Neurosurgery involves the diagnosis and treatment of disorders related to the spinal column, spinal cord, brain, nervous system and peripheral nerves. The development of its practice at Stanford can be seen as part of the broader history of medicine in California.
Surgeons and physicians numbered among the thousands who arrived in California during the Gold Rush of the late 1840s and early 1850s. In the succeeding decades, The San Francisco Medical Press and The Pacific Medical & Surgical Journal reported trephination being used to treat railroad workers, soldiers, miners and others for epilepsy, cranial fractures and gunshot wounds.
Among the faculty of Cooper Medical College in San Francisco, which became Stanford University's school of medicine in 1908, Dr. Levi Cooper Lane outlined trephination in his major textbook on surgery, and Dr. Henry Gibbons performed brain and spine operations on soldiers while serving in the Civil War.
On the East Coast, Dr. Henry Cushing inaugurated the modern field of neurosurgery in the early 20th century. His students transferred the nascent discipline to California — including Dr. Edward Towne, who brought Cushing's teachings to Stanford. Within the first half of the 20th century, neurosurgeons established a national professional organization, a certifying board, and a journal.
Frederick Reichert joined the Stanford faculty in the late 1920s, further advancing Stanford's training program in neurosurgery. John W. Hanbery joined the Stanford faculty in the 1950s, and oversaw the creation of a Division of Neurosurgery within the Department of Surgery. In 1990, the Division received Departmental Status.
In 1858, San Francisco surgeon Elias Samuel Cooper opened the first medical school in the western United States. After his early death, his nephew Levi Cooper Lane revived the school and named it "Cooper Medical College" in his uncle's honor. After Stanford University took over the college in 1908, it became the Stanford University School of Medicine.
Like his uncle, Levi Cooper Lane was a surgeon; and he published a major textbook on head and neck surgery. Surgery was not highly specialized in the 19th century, however, and neurosurgery was undeveloped as a discipline. Brain surgery in Lane's textbook largely amounted to trephination.
In 1895, Lane instituted a new special course of lectures to be delivered at the beginning of each term at Cooper Medical College. For the inaugural course, Lane selected Dr. William Macewen, Regius Professor of Surgery in the University of Glasgow, Scotland to offer presentations on brain surgery. Lane wrote:
"Professor Macewen delivered five masterly lectures on surgical anatomy in relation to neurological function, based almost entirely on his original research.
The lectures were models of excellence in every particular and were listened to with reverent attention by the students and faculty of Cooper Medical College, and by a large number of physicians, some of whom came from long distances, even from the states of Oregon and Nevada."
Harvey Cushing and his Legacy
Modern neurosurgery was pioneered by Harvey Cushing, who received his MD from Harvard Medical School in 1895 and did his residency under the guidance of William Halsted at Johns Hopkins.
Given Cushing's interest in surgical neurology, Halstead sent Cushing to study under leading surgeons in Europe — though Cushing missed his opportunity to meet with William Macewen in Glasgow. Cushing devoted himself exclusively to the development of surgical neurology.
His efforts were recognized by 1919, when after Cushing's address to the American College of Surgeons, William J. Mayo announced, "Gentlemen, we have this day witnessed the birth of a new specialty — neurological surgery."
At Johns Hopkins and at Brigham Hospital in Boston, Cushing trained three medical students who would later transfer his legacy to the California:
- Howard Naffziger (University of California)
- Carl Rand (University of Southern California)
- Edward Bancroft Towne (Stanford University School of Medicine)
Edward Towne had received his MD from Harvard Medical School in 1913. After studying under Cushing and serving in World War I, he accepted the offer by Stanford for the position of Instructor in Surgery beginning in 1920. He held the position of Visiting Surgeon not only at Stanford University Hospital in San Francisco, but also at the San Francisco City and County Hospital (now San Francisco General Hospital) and the now-defunct Southern Pacific Hospital.
Emergence of a Field
At the time that Edward Towne started teaching at Stanford in 1920, neurosurgery had begun to develop as a professional specialization — a trend that would continue over the next quarter century.
In 1920, the Society of Neurological Surgeons held its first meeting under the direction of Harvey Cushing at Brigham Hospital in Boston. Initially, the few members of the society met primarily to learn from one anothers' surgical innovations. Edward Towne was a participant.
Also in 1920, another future Stanford faculty member, Frederick Reichert, was awarded his MD at Johns Hopkins. For two years at Hopkins, Dr. Reichert studied neurosurgery under Cushing's successor, Walter Dandy. Dr. Reichert accepted the position of Associate Professor of Surgery at Stanford in 1926, and served as Professor of Surgery from 1930 until his retirement in 1960. During the years 1942–45, Dr. Reichert served as Department of Surgery Acting Executive while Dr. Emile Holman served in World War II.
Further professionalization of the field came with the founding of the Harvey Cushing Society (now the American Association of Neurological Surgeons) in 1931. Nearly a decade later, in 1940, the American Board of Neurological Surgery was approved as a new examining board by the Advisory Board for Medical Specialties and the American Medical Association's Council on Medical Education
Within two years, the Harvey Cushing Society limited its membership those who were certified by the American Board of Neurological Surgeons. In 1944, the Journal of Neurosurgery was established, further consolidating the field.
John Hanbery and a New Division of Neurosurgery
John W. Hanbery received his MD from Stanford in 1945, after which he was accepted to do a neurosurgery residency at Johns Hopkins under Harvey Cushing's protégé, Walter Dandy. Due to Dr. Dandy's passing in 1946, however, Dr. Hanbery instead pursued a residency in neurosurgery at McGill University under Wilder Penfield and William Cone.
Dr. Emile Holman recruited Dr. Hanbery as Assistant Professor of Neurosurgery within the Department of Surgery at Stanford in 1954.
Dr. Hanbery's concerted efforts resulted in the establishment of a residency training program in neurosurgery at Stanford in 1961. Three years later, the Department of Surgery created a new Division of Neurosurgery, and Dr. Hanbery served as the first Executive Head. Former residents who trained under Dr. Hanbery honored his mentorship in 1974 when they created the John W. Hanbery Society, which continues to meet annually for the presentation of research and clinical papers. Dr. Hanbery retired in 1989.
A New Department of Neurosurgery
In 1990, the Stanford University School of Medicine undertook the first major reorganization of the Department of Surgery in almost twenty years. Former Divisions and other programs within the Department of Surgery were reconfigured into new Departments, including new Departments of Urology, Cardiothoracic Surgery, and Functional Restoration.
The Division of Neurosurgery, inaugurated by Dr. John Hanbery in 1964, also received Departmental status in 1990. The faculty of the new Department of Neurosurgery included Dr. John Adler, Dr. Frances Conley, Dr. Lawrence Shuer, Dr. Gerald Silverberg, and Dr. Gary Steinberg. The Acting Chair of the new Department was Dr. Gerald Silverberg; the following year, Dr. Lawrence Shuer took over as Acting Chair.
Dr. Gary Steinberg has served as Chair of the Department since 1996. The Department has been particularly distinguished in terms of developing subspecialty expertise, both clinically and academically, and with regard to education of residents and postdoctoral fellows.
Areas of clinical and research focus include :
- cerebrovascular surgery and stroke
- brain tumors and neuro-oncology
- pituitary tumors and disease
- spine surgery
- pediatric neurosurgery
- functional neurosurgery (movement disorders, pain, epilepsy)
- traumatic brain and spinal cord injury
- stem cell research
- clinical outcomes research and non-invasive and minimally invasive surgery, including radiosurgery and endovascular surgery
The Department of Neurosurgery at the Stanford University School of Medicine has distinguished itself in clinical care and research in neuro-oncology, pediatric neurosurgery, stem cell research, and many other areas. But did you know that teaching and training in neurosurgery at Stanford can be traced back to San Francisco in the 1890s at Cooper Medical College, the predecessor institution to Stanford's School of Medicine? The exhibit is now on display on the first floor of Lane Medical Library, near the main entrance. This is the first in a new series of exhibits on the history of the Departments and programs in the Stanford University School of Medicine that will be featured in Lane Library.

Klaus: Flash doesn't work well, so what is a person to do? Could you use the Wine program and download a Windows browser version; install SeaMonkey, Chrome, or something else? What about Lightspark? Does it work?
Thanks, Joe
It seems that, probably, because of its proprietary nature and frequent security problems, many vendors are abandoning Flash as a browser plugin or video player for their browsers lately. But, there are still fields of application for Flash:

The Conservative Mandate
I'd like to think that this election was a referendum against passing bills before we find out what's in them.
Okay, okay, we still have to deal with Barney Frank; chalk it up to America's need for comic relief.
Am I excited that Jon Runyan is one of New Jersey's newest Congressmen? What good Eagles fan wouldn't be? But we need to remember that this midterm election wasn't a game. This is as much of a mandate for conservative voters as it is for conservative politicians. 2012 is only two short years away and there is still a lot of work to do.

The "Freshman 15" is a known phrase on college campuses. Along with new experiences and new friends comes the possibility of a few new pounds. Hectic schedules and late-night studying can tempt students to make unhealthy eating choices. In order to avoid making unhealthy choices, students must maintain a healthy lifestyle.
The Recreation and Sports Services on campus provides all the necessary tools to live a healthy lifestyle, and now it's your turn to take advantage of them.
Laura Graham, a registered dietitian, spoke to the University of West Florida athletic teams about how to balance school with a healthy lifestyle. She recommended modeling meals after the MyPlate guide from the Department of Agriculture. The website Choose My Plate shows how to control those high-calorie, high-fat meals when eating in the dining hall, Graham said.
"The most common reasons for gaining weight in college are late-night junk-food snacking," Graham said in an email.
Examples would be pizza, fast food, and drinks high in sugar, such as fruit juices, energy drinks and soda.
Healthy eating and working out are both necessary when trying to stay fit. One without the other will not allow your body to reach its full potential. UWF has a facility that allows students to stay in shape and enjoy doing it.
Fitness/Wellness Graduate Assistant Elizabeth Hedrich teaches Motivational Cycle at the gym on campus. After an internship with Navy Federal for their corporate wellness department, Hedrich said she fell in love with it.
"Cycle class in general is very cardiovascular," Hedrich said. "A lot of people will do moderate intensity activity like the treadmill and elliptical."
Hedrich said participation in his cycle class will help the heart, aid in weight loss and maintain health.
Yoga, Tabata, Zumba and Pilates classes are also offered at the gym. Tabata is a recently added class taught by UWF student Josh Epstein. Tabata involves high-intensity interval training that uses anaerobic and aerobic systems.
"Personally, I think it's a great class," Epstein said. "It only last 45 minutes. It's real short and sweet, and it gets the job done."
Group fitness schedules and descriptions can be found in the gym or at the Recreational Department.

Natural Gas Advances as Cold Weather Speeds Stockpile Declines
Feb. 6 (Bloomberg) -- Natural gas futures advanced in New York before a government report that may show accelerating U.S. stockpile declines as frigid weather boosts demand.
Gas gained as much as 7.3 percent as U.S. Energy Information Administration data may show that inventories fell 274 billion cubic feet last week, based on the median of 25 analyst estimates compiled by Bloomberg. Supplies fell by 129 billion a year earlier and the five-year average drop for the period is 151 billion.
"Traders in the market are overall bullish because of the weather that we have seen in the past week in the Midwest and the Northeast," said Santiago Diaz, associate of energy trading at FCStone Latin America LLC in Miami. "They are factoring in that we are going to get a large withdrawal and they are getting ready for the fireworks. There's going to be a lot of buying activity and prices are going to move higher."
Natural gas for March delivery rose 14.4 cents, or 2.9 percent, to $5.174 per million British thermal units at 9:24 a.m. on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Trading volume was 56 percent above the 100-day average. The futures are up 22 percent this year.
Gas stockpiles totaled 2.193 trillion cubic feet as of Jan. 24, 16.6 percent below the five-year average, the biggest deficit in data going back to 2005. Supplies were down 23 percent from the same week last year.
The second winter storm of the week swept into the U.S. Northeast yesterday, and another system is forecast for the region in about three days. Four inches (10 centimeters) of snow fell in New York's Central Park, topped by a quarter-inch of ice, according to the National Weather Service. More than 12 inches were reported in the city's northern suburbs.
Credit Suisse
Credit Suisse Group AG raised its first-quarter gas price forecast by 50 cents to $4.80 per million Btu, the bank said in a research note today. The full-year estimate was raised by 13 percent to $4.30, according to the note.
"Risks to further price blow-outs appear most likely in the Midwest, where inventories are at nine-year lows, utilizing just 40 percent of availably capacity," the bank said.
About 49 percent of U.S. households use gas for heating, according to the EIA, the Energy Department's statistical arm.

Home > Sensors & Transducers > Sensors and Transducers
Electronic Products Word of the Week:
What is cybernetics?
When you hear terms beginning with
"cyber," such as "cyber
Monday," you immediately think of computers. The term is
actually short for "cybernetics," a scientific
principle defined in the mid 20th century by Norbert Wiener
(1894-1964), a professor at MIT. In his book Cybernetics, Wiener defined the term as
"the scientific study of control and communication in the
animal and the machine." Cybernetics comes from the Greek
meaning to "steer" or
The study of cybernetics is broad and far
reaching, To quote Wikipedia, "Contemporary cybernetics
began as an interdisciplinary study connecting the fields of
control systems, electrical network theory, mechanical engineering,
logic modeling, evolutionary biology, neuroscience, anthropology,
and psychology in the 1940s . . . . During the second half of the
20th century cybernetics evolved in ways that distinguish
first-order cybernetics (about observed systems) from second-order
cybernetics (about observing systems). More recently there is talk
about a third-order cybernetics (doing in ways that embraces first
and second-order)."
From Electronic Products Magazine, one example
of a product using the principles of cybernetics is the Millennium
multiaxis motion controller, a product chosen to be spotlighted
here only because of its maker's name. In 2000 that
company was called Applied Cybernetics, but is now Liburdi; the URL
is still in use. The controller "offers the feature set
of Performance Motion Devices' Navigator embedded motion
processor to provide one-, two-, and four-axis control of servo and
step motors." Note the aspect of machine control, a
common theme in many products covered in Electronic Products. Add to that all the
articles you find on sensors and you can imagine how machine
control can be related to animal (including human) control, and the
bridge between the two that is robotics.
So while Cyber Monday is past, we have many
Cyber Futures to look forward to. ■

Viagra, the anti-impotence drug manufactured by Pfizer, may also be an effective remedy against gastroparesis, a common digestive condition among people with diabetes.
Gastroparesis occurs when the pyloric muscle leading out of the stomach does not relax and let food empty into the intestine. Researchers at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine found that Viagra appears to cause this muscle to relax in the same manner that it causes a muscle in the penis to relax and allow for an erection. Their study appears in the August Journal of Clinical Investigation.
Only Tested in Diabetic Mice
Viagra has only been tested in diabetic mice with gastroparesis. However, The Wall Street Journal reported on August 1 that results were so encouraging that a pilot study to try it on men and women will be launched as soon as this month.
Gastroparesis, according to The Wall Street Journal, affects up to 75 percent of people with diabetes. It causes bloating, loss of appetite and in some cases vomiting and dehydration. In addition, gastroparesis can complicate efforts to control blood-sugar levels with medication because it disrupts the timing of the digestive process.
Are Lowered Nitric Oxide Levels the Culprit?
Researchers say gastropar-esis is caused-at least in mice-by a lack of nitric oxide, a compound involved in many different bodily functions, including heart function and the mechanics of having an erection. The researchers worked with diabetic mice that produced lower-than-normal levels of nitric oxide, prompting the researchers to suggest that lowered nitric oxide is the immediate cause of gastroparesis in diabetes. When the researchers injected the mice with insulin, nitric oxide production returned to normal. Their digestion also returned to normal.
"Somehow, increasing insulin leads to increased nitric oxide, which brings about muscle relaxation,'' said Dr. Christopher Ferris, one of the lead researchers.
Viagra Works Faster
Ferris adds that while insulin has this muscle-relaxing effect, Viagra might be a quicker solution for some patients.
The U.S. Public Health Service and other non-corporate sources funded the mice study. Pfizer took no part in the study.

Albemarle senior midfielder Connor Carson plans to play her college lacrosse at Old Dominion, according to her father.
"Connor wanted to stay in state and felt the school and coach were a great fit for her," Tim Carson explained in an email.
Carson has re-written the Patriots' record book through her first three high school seasons. Her 170 career goals are the most in school history, and as a junior she set Albemarle single-season records with 83 goals and 131 draw controls.
Carson was named an US Lacrosse first-team All-American after last season. She was also named district and region player of the year, and was selected first-team all-state.
