Chelsea Ladies will face Lincoln in the final FA WSL game of the season this Sunday and have dedicated the match to Right To Play to mark the end of the campaign.
Chelsea's global charity partner will be giving away prizes to fans during the weekend clash, which kicks off at 2pm. Right To Play ambassador and Olympic skier Chemmy Alcott will also be at the game to support the Ladies and host some half-time fun.
Alcott is Britain's top downhill skier and is hard in training for Sochi 2014 after being a torchbearer for London 2012. She is a long-standing supporter of Right To Play and even climbed Kilimanjaro in 2008 to raise money for the cause.
As well as half-time entertainment and competitions the players will also pose for photos and sign autographs after the final whistle.
Sunday's game marks the end of the second FA WSL season but the first campaign for Chelsea Ladies at Wheatsheaf Park, the home of Staines Town Football Club. Tickets cost £5 for adults and £3 for concessions.
Right To Play works tirelessly to improve the lives of children in some of the most disadvantaged areas of the world by using the power of sport and play for development, health and peace.

@xelda57; this is the N and Hilda thing, but we're the kids, Makumi and Kyoto. You're Makumi.
Hilda and N were smiling at their fraternal twins. "You know, If it wasn't for Reshiram and Zekrom sacrificing themselves to save you, the twins would be stronger than ever." N said to Hilda. "I know." Hilda replied. Kyoto, unaware he wasn'told enough, started to train Hilda's Lillipup. Or, rather, his.

Toast anyone?
Today, after missing my pet watch for over 3 months, my daughter discovered it at the bottom of our toaster. I bought this watch at least 15 years ago and it's been through everything, but this was a new challenge even for me and I am pleased to say (overjoyed really) that my beautiful Parsifal still works!!!!! Thanks for making this beautiful and durable time piece - I still love it.

Welcome to the Office for Undergraduate Research (OUR)
At USF, undergraduate research is broadly defined as a project that enables individual students or groups of students to pose or work from a defined research question, apply methods of inquiry to generate findings, and share the findings with others through presentation and publication.
Engaging in undergraduate research is transformational and highly beneficial to students, faculty and the greater university community. Many studies show that students involved in undergraduate research achieve higher grades, have a deeper understanding of their chosen discipline and are more competitive for jobs, national awards and admission to graduate and professional school.
Did you know?In a recent poll of employers, 93% said that a candidate's undergraduate major was less significant than a candidate's ability to communicate effectively and apply knowledge to real-world problem solving

Zack's Kernel News
Zack's Kernel News
The Linux kernel mailing list comprises the core of Linux development activities. Traffic volumes are immense, often reaching ten thousand messages in a given week, and keeping up to date with the entire scope of development is a virtually impossible task for one person. One of the few brave souls to take on this task is Zack Brown.
Our regular monthly column keeps you abreast of the latest discussions and decisions, selected and summarized by Zack. Zack has been publishing a weekly online digest, the Kernel Traffic newsletter for over five years now. Even reading Kernel Traffic alone can be a time consuming task.
Linux Magazine now provides you with the quintessence of Linux Kernel activities, straight from the horse's mouth.
Status of the 2.2 Kernel
Back in August 2007, Xose Vazquez Perez asked about the status of the 2.2 kernel tree and noted that version 2.2.26 had been released way back on February 25, 2004. On the other hand, the latest release candidate for 2.2.27 was from January 12, 2005. Willy Tarreau replied that any new release of the 2.2 kernel tree might lead users to believe that it was usable. However, he pointed out that, by now, a lot of security fixes have not gone into that tree, and it is simply too far out of date to continue to maintain.
Xose accepted this explanation at the time, but recently he followed up, suggesting that the 2.2 kernel be removed from the front page of kernel.org. If it is so out of date that no one should use it or patch it, he argued, it clearly shouldn't be advertised on kernel.org. This seems to make some sense; however, at the time of this writing, the 2.2. kernel is still listed on kernel.org with the rest of the kernel trees.
Cute Way to Schedule Code Removal
Matthew Wilcox had a nifty idea to save Andrew Morton a little headache. The current list of kernel features that are scheduled for removal is kept in a single file called feature-removal-schedule.txt. As part of innocently going about their business, kernel hackers who want to schedule a feature for removal have naturally added their items to the bottom of that file. The problem is that everyone then submits their changes to that file as a patch, so all the patches conflict with each other because they are all attempting to add different text at the same place in the file. As a result, Andrew has apparently been resolving these conflicts by hand, which is annoying for him.
Matthew's idea for helping Andrew is to trick the kernel patching tools into inadvertently doing the right thing. For example, the diff tool produces a patch that contains lines of context around the patches it produces so that the patch tool can apply a patch at the proper location in a file. The diff tool also keeps track of the "before and after" state of the part of the file being modified, but because the changes Matthew is talking about are only adding text, the "before" state is empty.
Given this, his idea is to put a simple separator, like "————", between entries and, most importantly, at the bottom of the file. By doing this, the diff tool will not only have no "before" state for its patch, but it will also only have this generic separator to provide context for its patches. As Matthew points out, this will cause the patch tool to insert each new entry randomly between any two adjoining entries in the file.
That's a neat trick, and it's nice when a neat trick can save somebody time. Ironically, the git tool would not make the same mistake as diff and patch, but because Andrew doesn't yet use git for this side of his kernel work, this little solution can slip through the cracks and just work.
New General Debugging Code
Thomas Gleixner has proposed a cool new debugging infrastructure for the kernel. His idea is to keep a hashed list of kernel objects and perform sanity checks on them whenever they are touched or memory is freed so that red flags are identified before a bug can cause kernel panic or other bad consequences. These sanity checks wouldn't find all bugs, but when they did throw a red flag, it would almost certainly be because they detected a legitimate bug somewhere.Thomas's plan would be to keep the debug code in the kernel, where it could be enabled easily. The kernel wouldn't run with the debug code enabled by default because that would slow the whole system down.
Initial support for Thomas's work was good, and Greg Kroah-Hartman suggested some additional sanity checks. Andi Kleen also suggested incorporating the features of an old patch by Chris Mason, in which a background thread would allocate memory, mark it, and then check periodically to see whether it had been corrupted. Because the memory would only be used for testing, any code that corrupted it would not necessarily cause an immediate problem for the running system, so detecting the corruption would give the user precious debug information that could be stored in logs before any potential problem.
It's very likely that Thomas's work will be accepted into the kernel at some point, and it will probably continue to be extended by these and other suggestions.

Topekan Dustin Thulin, who competes in the B Modifed class in Heartland Park's Super Saturday Showdown Series, has raced for awhile now, but if early-season results are any indication, 2011 has a chance to be a career year.
"We've had some good things go our way,'' Thulin said.
Thulin is currently deadlocked at the top of the B Modified division with Brian Murphy as he tries to break new ground in his racing career.
"I have never won a track championship,'' Thulin said. "We'd love to do that. It's definitely a goal of ours and we're going to take a shot at it if we can stay in it this year. We're going to make a run for it.''
Thulin posted a top-10 points finish in 2010 and said that consistency will be the key all season.
Fortunately, that has been a strong suit for Thulin in the early going.
"Even when we've had bad nights with flat tires we've been able to come back and make a top-10 out of it and just finishing is the biggest key for us and making sure we go home every night loading it up in once piece,'' he said.
"If we can stay on the same path and just keep finishes up and finish towards the front I think we'll be all right.''
Of course, Thulin knows that will continue to be a challenge in a B Mod class that regularly draws a large field.
"You've got 41 guys showing up and they all want to win,'' Thulin said. "It feels good to be at the top at the end of the night but it's not easy, that's for sure.''

HAYGAIN hay steamers are a range of scientifically proven hay steamers that eliminate respirable dust in hay and haylage by killing mould spores and bacteria to produce hygienically clean forage.
Steaming hot forage created by HAYGAIN is scientifically proven to effectively eliminate respirable dust, kills mould/mould spores and bacteria. HAYGAIN'S patented steaming technology enables you to control the quality of your hay or haylage whilst improving palatability, in fact it that smells and tastes so good whilst steaming, all the horses 'wicker' out for it!
* Try before you buy, only a small deposit required.
The HG-1000 for is suitable for more than 4 horses. Capable of holding a small strung bale of hay or up to 35kg of loose hay, haynets or haylage.Read more
The HG-600 is ideal for up to 4 horses. The HG600 is the most suitable for the livery or yard owners who can repeat steam easily. Capable of holding a half bale of hay or 15kg of loose hay, haynets or haylage.Read more
Designed for the competition horse that relies on freshly steamed forage whilst competing away from home. Capable of holding half a bale of hay or 12kg of haylage.Read more
HAYGAIN declare sugar is the enemy.

Steaming hay or haylage not only reduces respirable dust and kills harmful microorganisms, but it also turns 'poor sections' of the bale to 'palatable sections'. As a result, a larger proportion of large bales are eaten when steamed. Wastage is significantly reduced. The haygain steamer cost is typically paid back in twelve months from date of purchase when feeding 2 horses.

Mark Baxter's reading of the morning paper is interrupted by his neighbor, sexy Glenn Steers. They talk about the hot men visiting Steers and soon Glenn is proving to Mark that he packs a dick at least as ample as those of his guests. Mark admits it's been awhile since he's seen that dick, 'You've been kinda stingy with that thing lately...' and the two men retire to get re-acquainted with each other's cocks. Baxter swallows Steer's thick rod to his balls, exciting Glenn to fuck Mark's mouth...slamming his throbbing cock down the open throat and urging Mark to take it. Glenn wants to explore mark's asshole and begins to probe the sweet clean hole with his tongue, preparing Mark's twching buttocks for his prick. Finally Glenn piledrives Mark, repeatedly thrusting his hot cock in and out of the welcoming asshole. Glenn fucks Mark relentlessly in every position until both can stand no more and blast their thick spurts of cum.

I was at the airport about to fly out to Spain on holiday and thought that sending flowers to my boss would be a fantastic idea as a housewarming gift.There was not much time to google search for a florist nearer to home to call around and deliver so I thought to send flowers via interflora instead, it was the first name that came to mind.The whole process from beginning to end took about 5 minutes, i was happy with the first lot of selection on the front page and thought next day delivery was very reasonable. I got a text to say how wonderful they looked in new dining room table....Save time, energy and money and just log online for all flower needs...flowers at your fingertips does not get any better than this...thanks!

A beautiful arrangement for a birthday!
By Laura
from Leeds
I ordered this bunch of flowers for my mother's birthday.The flowers arrived beautiful and fresh, and expertly arranged. I ordered the extra large option, however I would have expected the bouquet to have been slightly bigger than it was for the money I paid.I know that when choosing a bunch like this you aren't guaranteed to get the flowers that are shown in the picture but I thought the bouquet that was delivered were a little too pink, however that is personal preference, my mother was very happy with them!On the whole though, I would order again it's been a week now and flowers are still fresh and look like they may last at least another week yet.Interflora may be slightly more expensive than other online florists, but you only get what you pay for and I know that by ordering off interflora the flowers will be fresh and of high quality and I wasn't disappointed!

In a nutshell - Disapointing ! , i decided to use Interflora as i wanted to send a really fantastic arrangment of flowers to my wife for our anniversay and i thought i'd use Interflora although they are more expensive than local independant florists so that the flowers would be extra special , sadly although the quality of the flowers was good the quantity wasn't! , i paid for the extra large size and what arrived was little more than what i would desribe as a standard size , i paid alot of money for these flowers expexting a huge and impressive arrangement, this was sadly not what arrived. In future i'll stick to the local intependant florist who would have supplied something three times the size for the price i paid.

Since announcing a new obsession with oxalis late last year, my devotion to this genus of small, clover-like plants has expanded. I failed to grow a package of bulbs given to me by a friend but have since purchased three new plants that are all doing well. So far I can keep oxalis alive with little effort — even under lights — the tricky part is bringing the bulbs out of dormancy.
Try, try again. Eventually I will get this right.

I'm now a cat owner; I can't believe itPosted Tuesday, October 13, 2009, at 9:04 AM
Well, I am writing a column I never thought I would be hammering out on this keyboard.
I have a cat.
To be more exact, I am now the co-adopted parent of a cat.
Not sure what it is, but I have never been what anyone would call a cat lover.
A four-legged critter that climbs your leg like a tree and bathes in spit has never been too appealing to me.
I've always felt like cats were users.
They will ignore you until they want something (usually food) and then they will follow you around and snuggle up to you.
Hmmm ... sounds kinda human-like in that regard.
Other reasons that having a cat as a pet never really struck my fancy was cats always appeared to be more than just a little sneaky and I never thought they were as smart as a dog.
Have you ever seen a cat fetch a stick, roll over on command, retrieve a newspaper, or heel?
Well, come to think of it, few of the dogs that I owned over the years were able to master any of those pretty simple tasks either.
Nonetheless, the Schneider household does now have a pet cat.
He's a cute little thing that we've named "Syd."
The critter is actually named after my oldest granddaughter, Sydney, because it was taken in on her birthday.
The name came about when we were initially unable to determine if our new kitty was a "he" or a "she."
You see, we didn't take a close look at his biological features before we attached the name so we decided that Syd would be a good unisex name either way.
Upon closer inspection, we did establish that Syd is a male version of a kitty.
By way of background, Syd actually found us.
One afternoon I was hobbling around the house on my cane under the observation of my physical therapist and as I was walking past our basement door, I heard this loud "meow" sound.
Candy, my therapist, asked me if we had a cat and my quick reply was "no we don't."
The meowing grew louder so I opened the door to discover a tiny brownish Calico-colored cat sitting on the top of the steps.
It seems a window had been broken and the cat had made his way into the basement and didn't know how to get out.
How the good Lord in all His wisdom could let an annoying sound like meow come from one of his creatures on this green earth mystifies me.
Anyway, when my wife, Sharon, who incidentally was also never a "cat lover," came home our first adventure was trying to figure out how to get the cat off the step and out of the house.
You see, she was afraid to touch the little cat and I was unable to just bend down and grab him because I'm still recovering from knee surgery. Grabbing a cat and holding onto a cane was something that I wasn't sure I had mastered yet.
So the solution I came up with was to grab the cat's body with the curved end of my cane and hoist him off the step and out the back door.
That was accomplished, but instead of running away, the cat decided he liked us -- probably a lot more than we initially liked him -- and he didn't want to leave.
Then, my wife's soft heart and compassion got the best of her and she committed the cardinal sin of not wanting a pet. She fed the cute little skinny kitty some milk and a couple pieces of bread.
So now we have a pet cat for sure.
He's here to stay -- outdoors, of course.
We sincerely hope this male kitty is going to be a good "mouser" and keeps some of the pesky rodents away, who like to invade our rural home, located near the grain fields, during the winter months.
Yesterday, my wife even bought the little feller his own bowl and a kitty litter box, to put in our garage during the coming winter months.
For now the new pet has taken up residence on a wicker lounge chair we have on our back porch and he really likes to snuggle up to this seasonal stuffed scarecrow that sits on the chair. At night, he sleeps there.
This cat I would say is about a year old, so I'm not sure if that qualifies him to still be a kitty or graduated to a full-fledged cat, but I know for sure he is a climber.
You can walk to the back door and in a flash, he's up and climbing straight up the screen on the back door -- looking at you eye-to-eye and bellowing a loud "meow."
It's really kind of cute.
So now the Schneiders have our first cat pet.
I never thought this day would come.

We have 7 wonderful gifts of God in our house. Anyone who doesn't think animals have a personality should own one cat. You are nobody until you've been ignored by a cat.

All animals can be very loving if they are loved back. Good luck and be patient.

Cats love to be in when they are out and out when
they are in. All 3 of mine have different personalities. I suggest that you rescreen your
door with pet resistant screen which I have done and then the you and the cat can enjoy life.
Cats loved to be loved by humans and you will
enjoy your kitty for sure.

I love cats. They grow on you. You don't have to take them outside to use the bathroom, they don't chew furniture, and they are just cute!
-- Posted by Greene_Countycitizen on Mon, Oct 12, 2009, at 1:58 PM
So many cats; so few recipes.
But I'm sure Nick will find one to his liking.

This and That
I live in Greenfield with my husband and cat. I work full time. Frugality and simplicity have been a part of my life long before they became popular and it has made life a lot less stressful. I love volunteering, home improvement/decorating, crafting and gardening.
There will be times in the future where we should vote. We must vote based upon the facts we know to be true and that have helped us to decide on what or who to vote for. I am not going to get into my political views because that's my business. I know where I stand and why. I have taken into account what the past was like and where our future is headed and I will make my decisions based upon that and other factors. I have had enough of political advertisements already. I have learned to walk away from someone who has different, strong political views than I do and who want to try to start an argument - not worth getting into an argument. We all have our points of view and reasons for them. I don't judge others on how they vote as I don't want them to do the same with me. Time will tell as to what the votes will lead to.
Again, IT IS very important to vote. Vote based upon knowledge, not emotions.
What Does It Mean To Have "Class"
My father told me many, many years ago that eventually, there will only be two classes: Upper and Lower - the middle class will be extinct. That we know............however, this blog isn't about this, even though it appears he was "right on".
When I was younger, I used to think that if someone had "Class", that meant they wore expensive clothes, lived in a big, expensive, beautiful home and drove an expensive vehicle.

The Florida's Governors race is very close. We have Rick Scott as the Republican candidate, and Alex Sink as the Democrat candidate.
Here is some more information why Alex sink "Should Not be Elected", and why you should vote "For Rick Scott"
Florida's hotly contested gubernatorial race is becoming one of the first major skirmishes for the 2012 presidential race – and a win by Democratic candidate Alex Sink may give President Obama a second term in the White House. Is that what you want?
Who is Alex Sink?
Her supporters cite the official line that she is a former banker and Florida's chief financial officer, effectively the state's treasurer, who they claim has the financial know-how to steer the Sunshine State in difficult economic times.
But a closer examination of her record demonstrates a woeful and reckless record of acting as steward over public and private financial institutions., and despite efforts to distance herself in recent weeks, she has been a staunch supporter of President Obama's economic program., including Obamacare, Cap and Trade, the failed stimulus plan and relentless class warfare.
Sink's as the state's leading financial official, (she is the current State of Florida Chief Financial Officer) shares the lion's share of blame for mismanaging the state's pension funds, which lost billions in less than a year. She also is involved in major scandals involving a bank where she worked and her approval of former felons as insurance agents.
With the election less than a week away, attention has focused on Sink's role as a trustee of the Florida State Board of Administration (SBA), which manages pension funds for 1 million current and retired Florida teachers, public employees, and their families.
Despite audits dating back to 2000 warning of risky, unregulated investments, the SBA lost billions between July 2008 and January 2009.
A Palm Beach Post editorial in June 2000 headlined "Who's Watching the Money?" charged the SBA with "secretive, misleading practices that lost investors millions and stated:
In late 2007, after the SBA tried to conceal the extent of its bad investments, news broke that more than $2 billion of its assets were at risk. Many of those assets belonged to school boards and local governments that routinely put their cash on hand into short-term, low-risk investments the SBA handles. Liquidity was essential, since the money was used for payroll and other immediate needs.
But the SBA had put much of that money into risky schemes. Once local governments found out, they started a run on the Local Government Investment Pool."
A June 2009 report in The St. Petersburg Times disclosed: "Two summers ago, during the subprime mortgage meltdown, the SBA bought risky securities through now-defunct Lehman Brothers and two other big Wall Street firms. The funds were supposed to be ultra safe. The investments plummeted in value. After news broke that the state was holding tainted securities, hundreds of counties, cities and school districts yanked $13 billion from an SBA account."
The Times also noted that the SBA trustees — including Sink and Gov. Charlie Crist — "have been the epitome of a hands-off board," and "they rubber-stamp SBA motions with little or no discussion." (another reason to vote against Sink and against Crist, if they could not manage the savings of our Public employees how do you think they will manage the Florida economy, or represent us in Washington, the answer, very poorly!!!).
Those of you who are public employees and to whom Alex Sink has been pandering to, remember that the best way to have your pensions when you retire is to make sure that the Florida economy thrives, and Alex Sink support of Obamacare and plans to raise all kinds of taxes in Florida will further drive down the Florida economy and further erode your pension funds.
Sink has also come under fire for authorizing convicted felons to sell insurance in Florida. The agents were convicted of crimes ranging from assaulting a police officer to writing bad checks, the Palm Beach Post disclosed recently.
The Tampa Tribune reported that Sink's office made the "false claim" that she was "required" to grant authorization to convicted felons if their civil rights have been restored. But Sink could in fact have denied those applications.
"Alex Sink's former company, NationsBank, was investigated and fined millions of dollars for fraud by the Securities and Exchange Commission for 'deceptive and misleading' sales tactics that defrauded approximately 13,000 investors, most of them elderly.
"According to news reports dating back to 1998, during the exact time period Sink was president of NationsBank Florida, the company engaged in a 'systematic pattern of deception and deceit' to trick customers into pouring their savings into risky investments that were advertised as safe."
Interestingly, Sink's campaign website states that as Florida CFO, she "puts her business experience and know-how to work as the determined fiscal and consumer watchdog for the people of Florida." Talk about slippery twist of the facts!. That is the kind of experience Florida does not need!!
It also declares that "the time has come for a leader with Alex's business experience and know-how." I think we heard the same thing about Obama and look where we are today, the economy is in the tank, our children and grandchildren are saddled with trillions of debt and unemployment keeps on increasing or not improving.
Sink has supported President Obama's Obamacare, a law that will cut Medicare benefits for seniors by at least $500 billion which will have a catastrophic impact in Florida's large senior population.
Florida's governor's race is not only a prelude to 2012 but will play a key role in shaping a new Congress for the next decade as state houses begin reapportionment following the 2010 census.
Alex Sink also tries to paint herself as the guardian of truth and ethics However, Democrat Alex Sink broke the rules during her debate with gubernatorial rival Rick Scott, then compounded the gaffe by lying about it twice afterward.
The flap erupted at Monday night's October 25th, 2010 nationally televised debate that CNN and the St. Petersburg Times sponsored in Tallahassee.
During a commercial break, Sink's makeup artist showed her a message on a cell phone, which violated rules the Sink and Scott campaigns had agreed on.
Scott complained over the issue to Mark Preston, CNN's political editor,. "So we can get notes?" he said. "We can have people that work for us come and give us messages?"
Preston said: "No."
As soon as the debate resumed, CNN moderator John King opened with a question about Florida's economy, but Scott asked Sink: "First, Alex, you say you always follow the rules. The rule was no one was supposed to give us messages during the break and your campaign did with a smart phone."
On Tuesday October 26, 2010 Sink told the Miami Herald that she did not know who had sent the message. She said the makeup artist "put this phone in my face and she said, 'I don't know who this is from,' and I turned around and I looked and I said I couldn't tell, really, what it was."
Unfortunately for Sink, king, the CNN moderator, stated that he had reviewed an audio clip that clearly shows the makeup artist told Sink about the message.
"We listened very closely to the audio, and the makeup artist, when she approached Alex Sink, said, 'I have a message from the staff.' And at that point they looked, it was on her cell phone. It was two sentences. It was essentially advice after the last segment of the debate telling her if that question comes up again, remember this, and be more aggressive when Rick Scott questions you."
The message had been sent by Sinks staffer Brian May, an insurance industry lobbyist who referred to Scott's criticism of Sink for her role on the auditing board of Tampa-based call center Sykes Enterprises when investors sued it in 2000 for exaggerating its revenues, the Tampa Tribune reported.
Then Sink lied again, a second time, when she told MSNBC's "Hardball" host Chris Matthews on Tuesday that she "ignored" the message.
"I don't know who this message is from," Sink said. "I glanced at it. I didn't understand even what it was. And I just ignored it."
But the cameras continued to record during the commercial break, and King released tape on his blog clearly showing Sink reading the message.
Sink said in a statement that she "immediately removed" May from her campaign, notwithstanding the fact that she had previously said she did not know who the message was from.
She said on "Hardball" that, after the debate, she told May, "Brian, that was against the rules, and I can't have someone who doesn't play by the rules in my campaign."
What the heck, what is one more lie from a politician who is dying to become our Governor?
Some of those who read my blog regularly will right away point out the alleged problem of Rick Scott with his healthcare company and the fraud charges brought against that company, albeit after he was not longer in charge, for Medicare fraud. You can probably spin that story anyway you want. However, what is really at stake is whether Florida recovers from the worst economic disaster in decades and one of the highest unemployment rates in the United States.
The fact is that Florida needs a Governor who knows how to create jobs, who knows and has managed and grown a company. Rick Scott had done that. On the other hand Alex Sink is a "professional politician" that wants to perpetuate the failed policies of tax and spend. She has proposed increases in property taxes, sales taxes, energy taxes (is pro the Obama Cap and Trade energy bill which is really Cap and tax your energy from the gas you put in your car to the electricity you use at home).. That would further destroy Florida's economy.
We need to elect Rick Scott for Governor.

Surgery for morbid obesity is about one and only one thing: improving your overall quality of life; this is done by addressing health issues you may have.
Quality of Life
We consider weight loss of more than 30% of preoperative weight a good result. For instance, a person weighing 300 pounds who loses 90 pounds would be considered to have a good weight loss result. We hope and expect about 90% of patients to achieve a good to excellent result. We anticipate that the average patient will probably lose about 30% of the preoperative weight, but there is a great deal of variation with some losing more and some losing less. As with all forms of treatment for obesity, your results will depend greatly on your motivation and long-term compliance.
Thus, a distinct minority of patients will reach a truly normal weight. In fact, such marked weight loss may not be desirable because of baggy skin and other related problems.
Addressing Health Issues
Successful weight loss corrects or improves diabetes, high blood pressure, reflux, and high cholesterol in more than 90% of patients with these obesity-related problems, and helps to resolve sleep apnea, urinary incontinence, and osteoarthritis in more than 75% of patients. Many patients are able to significantly reduce the amount of medications they take on a daily basis for these conditions.

Westchester County prosecutors rested their case Wednesday in Douglas Kennedy's trial in Mount Kisco, with one of the involved Northern Westchester Hospital nurses and a security guard giving testimony.
The defense, meanwhile, is expected Thursday to call in hospital ER head Dr. Timothy Haydock, who was present with Kennedy at the time of alleged altercations with two nurses, at its witness.
Kennedy is charged with child endangerment in connection with his moving of newborn son, Bo, outside the maternity ward to get him fresh air and against medical advice, along with harassment for alleged physical contact with the nurses after a verbal dispute about moving the baby.
On Wednesday, the trial's third day, nurse Cari Luciano continued her testimony, which began Tuesday. She was questioned repeatedly by Kennedy's defense attorney about her credibility.
Luciano has accused Kennedy of kicking her with his foot when she reached out for his newborn son Bo at a stairwell entrance. Kennedy's defense acknowledges that a physical incident took place but argues that Kennedy quickly reacted on instinct to protect his child rather than doing so on purpose. Defense lawyer Robert Gottlieb visited that argument Wednesday when he questioned Luciano about it, bringing up the elapsed time of the incident and getting Luciano to acknowledge that she did not verbally tell Kennedy of her intent to get the baby.
Gottlieb, who has made credibility a central issue in the trial, spent Wednesday questioning Luciano about what he perceived to be inconsistencies between her testimony and comments she was recorded as having made to police and during a Jan. 11 check up with internist Dr. Jenny So.
Gottlieb got Luciano to recap why she attempted to get the baby; the nurse testified that she saw the infant's head shaking when the stairwell door was opened during Kennedy's attempt to leave the third-floor maternity ward.
"[It was] to protect the child," Luciano, who sobbed during testimony, replied.
"The baby's head looked to be shaking," she said. Luciano has also described Bo's head as "violently shaking."
Gottlieb responded by noting that Luciano did not have consistent descriptions in a statement she made to Mount Kisco police hours after the Jan. 7 incident. Nor was it included in a record of a Jan. 11 appointment that Luciano had with So.
"I don't recall what I said to the doctor," Luciano replied when Gottlieb brought up the point.
Gottlieb used the same omissions scrutiny tactic with regards to comments made about Kennedy's speed to the stairwell after Luciano and fellow involved nurse Anna Lane blocked him from using the elevator, and about Luciano's memory of Kennedy's alleged arm twisting of Lane to stop her from keeping the door closed.
For Luciano, recalling what she said exactly before was difficult. When asked to explaining why she described Kennedy as running in her visit with So, versus walk in a recent comment, she replied: "I don't [remember my words], I was emotional with my doctor."
Amy Puerto, an assistant district attorney, questioned the reliability of the record for Luciano's talk with So. She got Luciano to admit that she did not request the doctor writing or typing what was described.
The prosecution also objected to the omissions focus, while Gottlieb argued that it's relevant when looking at a witness's narrative. Mount Kisco Village Justice John Donohue allowed Gottlieb to continue.
Gottlieb also got Luciano to admit that she was reprimanded by NWH, in the form of a letter placed into her personnel file, for unauthorized access of Bo's contact record in the hospital's system, which is deemed to be private information.
"Yes, I violated HIPPA," Luciano said, referencing an acronym for the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, a federal law that governs privacy of patients.
Luciano explained that she wanted to look up the information because she was told, when asked about police taking action against Kennedy, about his not living in the jurisdiction.
"I wanted clarification," she said.
Luciano denied that she shared the hospital's in-house record with others, noting that the address information of Kennedy, who lives in Chappaqua, is already a public record. The prosecution countered that what Luciano did does not constitute a criminal offense under HIPPA, but rather a minor infringement on privacy. Assistant District Attorney Amy Puerto asked Luciano about whether she was charged with a federal crime as a result, to which she replied no.
There was a brief clash between Gottlieb and Puerto over his questioning of Luciano over whether she was aware of a state child protective services investigation into his conduct with Bo. Puerto argued that, given the report on the investigation, which cleared Kennedy, is sealed, that it cannot be selectively disclosed.
"They don't get to pick and choose," Puerto said to Donohue.
Gottlieb, who raised future voluntary disclosure of the report as a possibility, explained that all he wanted to ask was whether Luciano was interviewed by the state agency. Donohue went with Gottlieb's argument, and the attorney quickly questioned Luciano about her knowledge. She replied that she knew of the investigation but that she did not speak to the agence.
Kevin Galvin, an NWH security guard who went up the stairwell to respond to the incident, was called after Luciano left.
Galvin, a former corrections worker on Riker's Island in New York City's, testified that he went up the stairwell after be learning about a Code Purple alert, which deals with agitated people on the premises. After slowing down when he got towards the third floor – Galvin said he "didn't want to spook anybody" - the security guard said he saw Kennedy holding the baby in his left arm, with Haydock to his right. Galvin testified that Kennedy said "I want to take my baby out for fresh air."
Galvin added that Haydock then advised Kennedy to go back to the maternity ward, which brought an end to the commotion.
The security guard also gave testimony that, while not necessarily part of the legal case, may be a public relations plus for Kennedy. He described Kennedy's question of "do you know who I am?" which the prosecution noted in his opening statement, as being asked politely. When defense attorney Celia Gordon cross examined Galvin, he recalled Kennedy having a calm demeanor, an attribute that the defense has sought to emphasize in its case.
The third day of the trial lasted just under two hours on Wednesday, including breaks, a contrast to the nearly 8-hour durations for Monday and Tuesday.
Talking to reporters afterward, Gottlieb confirmed that Haydock will be called by the defense, and that, as a procedural move, they will ask to dismiss the case. Gottlieb declined to comment when asked whether Kennedy or his wife, Molly, would be called as witnesses.

Jon and his wife Sus and young family have been living in Camden for the last two years.
St Luke's has not had a congregation since 1991 and the huge building stands almost derelict.
A large amount of renovation work needs to be carried out.
Jon and Sus, who are supported by a strong team of HTB supporters, are aiming to begin holding regular services in October.
Jon is enthusiastic and looking forward to getting the local community involved in the new project.
'Such a massive project isn't going to be done off our own backs,' he said. 'It will be the power of prayer that will make this a successful church.'

The Giants gather in a tight circle at an end of the dugout before games, always with Hunter Pence somewhere in the middle. They scream, yell and throw things as they prepare for the game in a way that would upset the moms of most Little Leaguers.
"(Sunflower) seeds, gum, cups, you name it,'' Ryan Theriot said. "You have to be careful. I got hit in the side of the head with a coffee creamer the other day.''
Theriot compares this pre-game ritual to Coach Taylor addressing his Dillon High Panthers before games.
"You ever see Friday Night Lights?'' he asked.
Eric Taylor's mantra to his football team in the now-extinct television series was "Clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose.'' Theriot can relate.
A starting shortstop for the Cubs for four seasons, the Louisiana native loved life in Chicago before his growing salary and Starlin Castro's availability led to a trade late in the 2010 season. It was painful at the time but has turned into a blessing for Theriot, who won a World Series with the Cardinals in 2011 and has an excellent chance to repeat that feat as a bench player for the tightly connected Giants.
On the day after they had beaten Kyle Lohse to win the pennant, the Giants held a light workout at AT&T Park. The mood was no different, Theriot said, than on Oct. 9 when they faced elimination in the third game of the playoffs.
"We're not just happy to be here,'' Theriot said. "We're ready to go.''
It turns out they were. As the Series moved from San Francisco to Detroit for the middle games, the Giants were leading 2-0 and Theriot was having to adjust to a new challenge — trying to maintain a lead. He mostly has been a part of amazing October comebacks and victories in the most crucial games.
Between them, Theriot's teams were 20-12 the last two Octobers, but you shouldn't judge them by that .625 winning percentage. They spent more time on the carpet than ahead, somehow going 10-0 in games when a loss would have ended their season.
Down to their last strike in Game 6 of the 2011 World Series, the Cardinals beat the Rangers and then won Game 7. They had survived a Game 5 date with Roy Halladay in the Division Series to get there.
This year's Giants have lived even more on the edge. They had to win three games in a row in Cincinnati to advance to the NL Championship Series, then won the last three against the Cardinals to reach the World Series.
How have they done it?
"You have to have great chemistry,'' Theriot said. "You have to play like a team, guys have to put their own situations aside and you have to trust the guy next to you 100 percent. If you don't have that trust, you can't keep doing this. You just can't.
"The other teams are too good. But you don't win on talent alone. It's almost like this time of the year character, being a good teammate, is more important than being a great player.''
Theriot twice went to the playoffs with the Cubs but the Diamondbacks and Dodgers swept those Lou Piniella teams in the first round. What was the difference between them and the teams he has played on the last two years?
"I've said it three times since you've been standing there,'' Theriot said. "It's character, it's having guys who play for the team, it's being able to believe in the guy standing next to you … if you don't trust the guy standing next to you, it's going to be a long year. Unless you're a rookie or a kid you know it.''
Theriot didn't single out any of his former teammates for selfishness, but Carlos Zambrano and Milton Bradley were the guys in the clubhouse the least like Tim Riggins and Matt Saracen, Dillon High's core guys.
The 32-year-old Theriot was the Cardinals' leadoff man in Game 7 last year. He's part of the Giants' bench now, with his playing time having shrunk since the arrival of Marco Scutaro.
He can live with that. He really doesn't even mind the coffee creamers to the side of the head. Not in the World Series, anyway.

Why Winning the Heisman Does Not Equal Success in the NFL
Every year we watch college football with the excitement and intrigue of a 12 year old who is finding their way into adulthood. Year after year we watch player by player get decorated with awards that many feel they deserve. Funny thing is very few players live up to the hype when they reach the NFL. Let's take the last few Heisman winners that have finished their college careers and see how successful they have been on the next level.
2007 Tim Tebow – Third String QB Verdict still out
2006 Troy Smith – Third String QB cut recently by Ravens
2005 Reggie Bush – Backup overpaid RB never will play to potential
2004 Matt Leinart – Career backup QB cut recently by Cardinals
2003 Jason White – Undrafted No Longer in NFL
2002 Carson Palmer – Has had a couple of good seasons but average career
2001 Eric Crouch – Moved to Safety No longer in NFL
2000 Chris Weinke – Backup QB No longer in NFL
1999 Ron Dayne – Backup RB No longer in NFL
This list says a lot. It is amazing that only one out of all these players have been successful. College football is a game that displays a certain amount of irony. The offenses that the college teams run are all flavorful and full of variety and there is coaching that allows individuals to do things that garner recognition. The Pro game is dictated more towards skill. The offenses are all pretty much the same since the game recycles coaches over and over but that is a topic for another day.

Back on September 27, 2011, Hiroki Kuroda made his final start for the Dodgers, pitching six scoreless innings on the road against the Diamondbacks. (He didn't get the win, though; the game was a 1-1 tie before the Dodgers scored five runs in the top of the 10th… and then Blake Hawksworth & Javy Guerra promptly allowed Arizona to score six to take the win, ending it on a Ryan Roberts walkoff grand slam. And we thought this year's Game #161 was bad.)
That was 163 games ago. It was also the last time the Dodgers sent a starting pitcher to the mound who wasn't a white American.
As I went into detail about in late December, the shameful record of international spending during the Frank McCourt era has caused a variety of wide-reaching problems for the team over the last few years, as the team had simply stopped trying to compete for high-end talent outside America. Not only were there very few international players on the 40-man roster, but the likely 2012 starting rotation – Clayton Kershaw, Chad Billingsley, Chris Capuano, Aaron Harang, & Ted Lilly to begin and Nathan Eovaldi & John Ely in reserve – was entirely North American & Caucasian, a rarity in today's game.
That's exactly what happened. Rubby de la Rosa appeared briefly and only in relief as he recovered from injury before being traded, and while Ely never did start for the Dodgers in 2012, newcomers Josh Beckett, Joe Blanton, & Stephen Fife all did. Including Eovaldi's time in the rotation, that means that all nine men who started a game for the club this year were indeed white Americans, making it the first time in more than 30 years (since Fernando Valenzuela's debut year of 1980, in which he pitched only in relief) that the Dodgers did not have a single start made by someone who was either non-white or not from North America. Considering the proud international & cultural history of the organization, it's a pretty disappointing state of affairs.
When will that run end? With de la Rosa gone, the only pitchers on the entire 40-man roster who aren't American are Kenley Jansen & Ronald Belisario, and they're not starting any time soon; potential additions from the system like Matt Magill, Zach Lee, or Aaron Miller aren't going to change that either. Obviously, it's not that I care at all about the ethnic makeup of the team so much as I care that the widest possible pool be cast to draw talent from. Of the 10 teams to make the playoffs in 2012, only the Giants had fewer than 20 starts from international or non-white pitchers, and even they may have had more had they not been lucky enough to have their top five starters make 160 starts, requiring only two fill-ins all year.
Of the many sins of the McCourt era, the inability to compete internationally may simultaneously be the least regarded and the most damaging. Sure, it's not as ridiculous as paying a Russian faith healer or absurd as blowing tens of thousands on hair dressers, but it's far more hurtful as far as trying to put a quality product on the field.
Here we are less than a year later, and suddenly there's a lot of hope here. When the Guggenheim group took over, Stan Kasten stated emphatically that one of his main goals was to improve the team's standing internationally, and in a very short time he's proven more than true to his word. They won the bidding on Korean lefty Hyun-jin Ryu, who arrived in California this week to begin negotiations on a contract. They made a huge splash with Cuban Yasiel Puig. They've been hard after Japanese teen Shohei Otani and countryman Kyuji Fujikawa. Perhaps most importantly, they've added Gerry Hunsicker, Bob Engle, and several other scouts with years of international experience to the front office.
So while the Dodgers already have six of the same American starters from last year under contract, maybe that streak is broken by Ryu, if he signs. Maybe it's Kuroda himself, who I'm starting to believe more and more will be returning in 2013, despite my apprehension over losing a first-round pick to get him. Maybe it'll even be both. (It could, of course, still be neither, too.) And while you can make an argument – a damn good one, really – that the team's better off next year with Zack Greinke or James Shields than with Kuroda or Ryu, it seems like small potatoes compared to seeing just far this team has come internationally in such a short time. For that alone, we should all be thrilled with where things are as compared to where they were.

Apigee's trace feature lets you review data on how messages are executed from the time a call is sent to your backend service to the response. The data shows how each policy is performing, how long it takes to execute, and exactly where things might have broken.
Here are some key data points:
- Timestamps: Use timestamps to see how long each step takes to execute. Comparing timestamps helps you isolate the policies that are taking the longest to execute that are slowing down your API calls.
- Base path: By verifying the base path, you can ensure that a policy is routing the message to correct server
- Results of policy execution: These results let you see if the message is being altered as expected, such as if the message is being transformed from XML to JSON, or if the message being cached.
Each trace is broken down into these major steps:
- Original request received from client
Shows the verb and path of the message sent by the client which can be either originate from an app, API console or terminal (you can send messages directly from the trace session — see "Tracing calls"). During this step, policies and conditions attached to the request flow are executed. The results indicate if policies are being executed properly in the order you defined for the flow. Properly executing policies are clearly indicated by checkmarks. Also pay attention to the timestamp at the far right to see if any policy is taking longer than expected.
- Request sent to your backend service
The message sent to your backend service after the request flow has been executed.
- Response returned by your backend service
This data comes directly from your backend service to the gateway where the response flow is executed. During this step policies and conditions attached to the response flow are executed.
- Final response sent to client
The message sent back to the original client (app, console or terminal) after the response flow has been executed.
Tracing calls
To trace a call you need to start a tracing session. Apigee will capture messages sent to your API from apps or other clients (such as consoles and terminals). If you don't have any live traffic you can generate some directly from the trace session, by using the Apigee Console or by sending a cURL command using a terminal. The results that are displayed for each step in the call can be used not only make sure that your flows are executing properly but also to debug issues. For example, you can ask a developer to send calls to your API while you're listening. By examining the trace results you can find where calls are failing or which policies are not executing.
Note: You need to deploy your API before you can trace calls.
To trace calls
- Select an API from the summary list on the API proxies table.
- On the API detail page, click Trace to access the Trace page, and choose an environment (test or prod). If the environment option is inactive, it indicates that you need to deploy your API.
- Click Start Trace Session. This runs a Trace session for 2 minutes. While the Trace session is running, messages are captured from live traffic.
- When you've capture enough messages click Stop Trace Session.
- Click on any of the captured messages to see detailed results.
To generate traffic for a trace
You can send GET requests to your API proxy from within the trace session. Alternatively, you can open the Apigee Console and direct requests to your API proxy (you're not limited to GET requests when you send requests from the Apigee Console).
Generating requests from the trace session
- Enter the proxy URL in the URL field of the Send requests section. The URL field is initialized with the base path of your API proxy. The method is set to GET (and cannot be changed).
- Click Send.
You can click Send multiple times to generate as much traffic as you wish.
Generating requests from the Apigee Console
- Click "Send with the Apigee Console" in the Send Requests section.
A console will open in a new window displaying the base path of your API.
- Select an HTTP verb from the drop-down menu.
- Enter the path of the API resource.
- Click Send
- Switch back to the trace session.
Trace results
The processing time for each message appears in the Transactions section.
Click a message to see the details of the trace in the Transaction section (below the Send Requests section).
Click the Next button on the far-right of the window, to step through the trace.
At each step you can expand the results to get more detail. You can see the HTTP headers send with the message by expanding the Headers section. You can view the payload of a message by expanding the Content section.
Downloading trace results
You can download an XML file of the trace results for viewing offline. The file shows the complete details of the listening session including the contents of all headers, variables and policies.
To download trace results
Click Download Trace Session after you stop a tracing session.
Adding Filters
Filters let you limit the trace so you only see the specific calls that you're interested in:
- HTTP headers - limits the trace to only calls that contain a specific header. This is a good way of helping you troubleshoot issues. You can send a header to your app developer and ask them to include it in the call that is causing issues. Then Apigee will only record calls with that specific header so you can examine the results.
- Query parameters - only calls with a specific value of a parameter will be recorded.
To add a filter
- Open the Filter section of the Trace page.
- Enter a name and value into either the Header or Query fields. Blank fields are not evaluated.
You can add more filters by clicking the Add Filter button. You can delete filters by clicking the (X) button next to the filter.
Troubleshooting performance issues
If an application is not getting data or if it's taking very long to get data back from a target service, you should examine a sample of the last 10 calls sent through your API. Look at how long a message takes to reach the target (total response time) and how long it takes the data to get back to the app (target response time). Examine any calls that take significantly longer to execute to make sure that your traffic-control policies are working as expected. First, check the base path of each step in your flow and make sure that all calls are going to the correct target. Then, examine each policy. Depending on which policies you added to your flow, you should look for the following:
- Rate limiting: Make sure that a rate limit is being evaluated for each message.
- Caching: Make sure that all messages are being cached.
- Transformations: Make sure the message is being transformed correctly. If your target is expecting XML and your message is still in JSON, the call fails.

MOBILE, Ala. -- In a deep class of talented receivers looking to make their next big impression at the NFL level, Terrance Williams is hoping to stand out. His 6-foot-2 size will help, as will his speed, but can Baylor receivers be selected in the first round of back-to-back drafts?
It could happen at a school in the heart of Texas football that has had its share of dry spells without any first-round picks during stretches of the last three decades. Between 1982 (RB Walter Abercrombie) and 1990 (LB James Francis), the Bears went without a first-round pick. Between 1996 (DT Daryl Gardener) and 2009 (OT Jason Smith), Baylor suffered another first-round shutout stretch.
Since then, however, the program has been represented strong in the first round of the NFL draft. In 2011, both DT Phil Taylor and OG Danny Watkins double-dipped for the Bears. In 2012, it was QB Robert Griffin III and WR Kendall Wright. And, now, Williams is hoping to continue a growing tradition and he is the Baylor Bears' only hope. He figures he will be drafted somewhere between No. 20 and 32 overall. Anything lower and he won't be a first-round pick.
"As the season kept progressing and progressing, it did scratch the back of my mind that, hey, I am close to 2,000 yards and why not get it?" Williams said. "Things happen for a reason. I'm not going to be down on myself. I'm happy with the production that I had."
He should be.
PThat's what makes standing apart this week in Mobile, Ala., for the Senior Bowl so important for Williams. He has good speed (4.45-4.5 seconds in the 40-yard dash) and prides himself in being able to get behind defensive backs, but he is also adept at finding the openings in zone defenses.
"He's a great receiver. Going against him is only going to make me better," said San Diego State CB Leon McFadden, who faced Williams several times in Monday's Senior Bowl practice. "He's one of the top receivers and I feel honored to be out here and guarding him.
